Bar trivia,
without the paper.
Players scan a QR code — no app, no signup, no per-player fees. Run a hosted Game Night, an Emcee round, or Open Play on autopilot — or schedule trivia night and let it run itself.
How it works
Three steps. Five minutes. You're running trivia.
Queue your night in 90 seconds

Players scan and play
Show the QR code on the TV. Players are in the game in seconds — no app download, no account needed.
Run the night, hit "next"
Questions stream live to phones and the TV. Scores update in real time. You control the pace — pause, extend, or skip whenever.
Everything you need for trivia night
Game Night Mode
Multiple rounds, breaks, leaderboards, and a structured flow — perfect for a hosted event. Players hit "ready" between rounds so you know when to roll on.
Emcee Rounds Pro
The host asks questions live, players submit answers on their phones, and the host judges in real time.
Open Play Pro
Self-serve trivia on autopilot. Players drop in anytime and play at their own pace — no host needed. Daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards rotate on the TV. Optional geofencing keeps it bar-only.
Scheduled Game Nights Pro
Put trivia night on a weekly schedule and it runs itself — the lobby opens ahead of time, rounds play out, and the final leaderboard rolls at the end, even with no host in the building. TVs just stay on the TV screen.
TV Display
A dedicated TV view shows questions, scores, and leaderboards. Works on any screen with a browser.
Question Bank
73,000 built-in questions across 533 categories. Add your own custom questions anytime.
Workplace-Safe Mode
One switch and the night draws only from a hand-vetted allowlist of categories — about 67,000 questions across 485 of them. It fails closed, so anything unreviewed sits out. On every plan, free included. How it works →
Voting Rounds
Drop a voting round into any night — players vote on the next category from a ballot you control (six options by default). Most votes wins. The crowd steers the playlist.
Team Mode
Split the room into 2–12 teams with custom names and colors. Players pick a team when they join; team standings show alongside individual scores at night-end. Perfect for a packed bar.
Leaderboards
Round scores, night totals, and a monthly venue leaderboard. Give your regulars something to chase.
Quick Start
One tap and you're live: a 10-question round from a random category, sensible timers already set. For the night someone asks for trivia and you have no plan.
Player Accounts
Optional, and free for players. An account carries their stats across every venue that runs Trivia Fun, unlocks a photo avatar, and takes about ten seconds — by email or Google sign-in.
Question Import Pro
Bring a whole question set as JSON. Imports are validated all-or-nothing, so a malformed file fails before it can half-load into your night.
Practice Round
Test-drive a round with bot players before the doors open — preview questions, timing, and flow. Practice scores don't count.
Night Templates
Build your round lineup once and save it. Next week, load it in one tap — scheduled nights can replay a saved template too.
Scheduled Start
Arm tonight's game to start at a set time. Players and the TV watch the same countdown, and the game kicks off on its own.

Built for bars & venues
Trivia Fun is designed for the real world — loud rooms, impatient crowds, and bartenders who don't have time to fiddle with tech.
Not a bar?
The same engine runs one-off events. It holds a hundred players and survives bad wifi because it grew up in bars — which turns out to be exactly what a room full of strangers needs.
Schools, clubs and nonprofits raising money without printing a single answer sheet.
