Patch & Pray
Prove you know AV, diagnose the failure, and find out whether you're actually the smartest tech in the room. Answer fast, diagnose real failures, and build a reputation you can lose, carefully.
Get In Touch
Every tech thinks they'd have caught it faster
Patch & Pray started life as "Signal Lost," an AV trivia and troubleshooting game built for the industry it's actually about: gain staging, connector IDs, signal flow, DMX, AV-over-IP, and the client requests that never quite mean what they say. It's part quiz, part diagnostic simulator, built by ControlBytes because the AV industry deserved a trivia game that actually gets the details right.
What it does
Daily Service Call
A five-question daily set across the AV world, done in a few minutes, with a streak to keep you coming back tomorrow.
10 Ways to Be Tested
Identify It, Hear the Problem, Fix the Signal Chain, Rack Attack, Fastest Finger, and more, each one a genuinely different way to prove you know your stuff.
18 Categories
From audio fundamentals and signal flow to lighting and DMX, AV-over-IP, industry jargon, legendary on-site disasters, and a mystery-rack grab bag for the truly obscure.
Full Troubleshooting Cases
A real ticket, a system map, an evidence log, and tappable tests, some risky enough to interrupt the room if you're not careful, ending in a diagnosis and a full score breakdown.
Career Mode & Reputation
Rank up through qualification challenges while a reputation meter tracks how you handle real diagnostic calls. Missing a trivia question never dings it, only how you handle an actual case does.
Mastery, Glossary & Review Queue
Track which categories you've actually mastered, unlock glossary terms as they come up, and get missed concepts resurfaced later instead of forgotten.
Zoomable Everything
Connector photos, rack scenes, schematics, and waveforms all support tap-to-inspect and pinch-to-zoom, because some of these details matter at full resolution.
Quick Game, Your Way
Skip the daily set and filter by category and difficulty when you just want to drill one weak spot.
Private by design
Patch & Pray stores all progress locally on your device. There's no account, no analytics, and no network access, nothing you do here leaves your device.
Works fully offline. Every question, case, and piece of media ships inside the app itself. There's no server to reach and nothing to download to play.
Your call to reset. A genuine Reset All Progress option clears every stat, rank, and mastery record and starts fresh, no partial resets that leave the app in a state normal play could never produce.
