Live trivia software for bars, game nights and teams

Write a quiz, put it up on the big screen, and let everyone join from the phone already in their pocket. No app to install and no account for players.

How it works

1. Create a quiz - write your own questions, and add a picture, a short YouTube clip or a Spotify song to any of them.
2. Open the quiz's host screen - it shows a QR code and a join code. Choose Open Lobby to open the big screen (the QR code and who has joined) in a window of its own for the television or projector.
3. Players scan the QR code (or type the code at /play) on their own device and enter a name. No account needed - and a team name is theirs to keep from one game to the next.
4. Start the game - every connected screen counts down together, and faster correct answers score more points (with a bonus for a hot streak).
5. See the final standings, share them, and check the leaderboard to see how teams stack up over time.

Made for

• Bars, breweries and restaurants - a weekly trivia night run from one TV, with the room's own phones as the answer pads.
• Remote and office teams - a quick round over a video call, played on laptops and phones.
• Seasonal and party nights - see ten sample Halloween questions and how to run the night.

What you get

• Join in seconds - scan the QR code or type a six-character code. No app, no password.
• Fair, fast scoring - every answer is timed against the same server clock, so a shaky Wi-Fi connection never costs points.
• Teams that stick - pick a team name and it's yours night after night, with a leaderboard that builds over time.
• Name-that-tune and video rounds - songs play through your own Spotify Premium on the room's speakers; short YouTube clips run on the big screen.
• Looks like your place - pull your venue's colors from your website and add a sponsor's logo for the night.
• Quizzes ready to go - a library of ready-made quizzes, plus your own.

Questions people ask

Do players need to download an app or make an account?

No. Players scan the QR code on the big screen, or type the six-character join code, then enter a name. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

What do I need to host a trivia night?

A screen with a web browser - a TV, projector or laptop - and a Wi-Fi connection. The host screen shows the QR code, the questions, the countdown and the live leaderboard; everyone answers on their own phone.

How is scoring done?

Every answer is timed against the same server clock, so a slow connection never costs points. Correct answers score more the faster they arrive, and a streak of correct answers earns a bonus.

Can I add pictures, video or music to questions?

Yes. A question can include a picture, a short YouTube clip shown on the big screen, or a Spotify song that plays through the host's own Spotify Premium account on the room's speakers.

What does it cost?

Playing never needs an account, and the demo needs no sign-up. Hosting your own game needs a subscription. New subscribers start with a 14-day trial; the price is on the Subscription page and you can cancel any time.

Can people find my trivia night?

Yes. Hosts can list a night on the public Trivia Near You page, which players can search by location.
