What is Multiplayer Trivia?
Browser-based trivia built for real-world venues
Multiplayer trivia is a live quiz format where an in-room host runs the game from their own screen and multiple teams of players answer questions on their phones. Bar trivia, pub quizzes, hotel activity nights, and corporate team-building all follow the same rhythm: a host reads or displays a question, teams confer, each team submits an answer, and a running leaderboard tracks who's winning. The traditional version used printed answer sheets and a calculator — ours uses QR codes and a browser.
Our free multiplayer trivia replaces the paper-and-pen workflow with something more flexible: teams join by scanning a QR code or entering a 6-character join code, answers are submitted and scored instantly, and the leaderboard updates live on a TV or projector for the whole room. Because it runs in any mobile browser, there is nothing for players to install. If you've run a bar trivia night, organized a hotel activity, or put together a festival side-stage, this replaces every clunky part of the old setup.

Multiplayer Trivia — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — hosting and playing are both free on the current free tier. There is no credit card, no trial period, and no per-game fee to get started. You can run games with up to 10 teams each and unlimited rounds without paying anything. Optional paid plans unlock premium features like more teams per game and saved question libraries, but the core trivia experience does not require a subscription.
No. Players scan a QR code or enter a 6-character join code in their phone's browser and are dropped straight into the game. There is nothing to install from the App Store or Play Store — the entire player experience runs in Safari, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on any modern phone or tablet.
Free games support up to 10 teams per session, which matches a typical bar trivia night or mid-size event. Each team can have multiple players on multiple devices all answering for the same team. If you need more than 10 teams per game, paid plans lift the cap for larger events, classrooms, and venue takeovers.
You need an internet connection to start the game and submit answers, but we use lightweight websockets that tolerate weak or shared festival Wi-Fi better than most native apps. For venues with no Wi-Fi at all, players can use mobile data — the game is small enough that a full round consumes only a handful of kilobytes per team.
Every session has a TV overlay mode. Open the session on any laptop connected to the TV (HDMI, AirPlay, Chromecast, etc.) and switch to TV view — it shows the join QR code, the current question, the live leaderboard, and the round standings in a layout built for big screens and back-of-room visibility.
Three things: instant scoring (no one wastes half an hour tallying answer sheets between rounds), live leaderboards (teams can see where they stand mid-game, which is a huge driver of engagement), and zero printing — change a question two minutes before the round starts and every team sees the update. It's the same bar trivia format your regulars already love, minus the clipboards.
Yes. Logged-in hosts can clone a previous game, keep the same rounds and questions, and reset team rosters for the new night. Free users can host one session at a time; paid plans unlock a saved question library so you can build a weekly rotation once and re-run it without retyping.
No — you can host a game anonymously without signing up. Anonymous hosts are limited to one active game at a time (tracked via browser cookie). Creating a free account lets you manage multiple sessions, save trivia rounds to reuse later, and recover a game on a different device.
