Trivia nights
that run themselves.
Set your weekly schedule, leave the TV ready, and let trivia bring the room together. No host required. Players scan a QR code and join on their phones — nothing to download, no account needed. Prefer a live host? You can do that too.
How it works
Set it up once. Your next trivia night runs itself.
Design your night
Answer seven quick questions about your schedule, timing, teams and crowd, including who picks the categories. Trivia Fun builds your regular night around your answers.
Leave the TV ready
Open your venue’s TV page in the TV browser and leave the screen on. The lobby opens before game time with a QR code for players to scan.
Players join. Trivia takes over.
Players scan and join on their phones. Questions, timers, scores and breaks run automatically, round after round, through the final standings. Nobody has to press "next".
Let it run itself. Or bring a live host.
Let it run itself 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. Your TVs just stay on the TV screen. Included in your 30-day Pro trial; subscribe to Pro to keep automatic nights and Open Play.
Want to host it yourself?
Start the night when the room is ready, and your host works the crowd while the game does the scoring. Pause, extend, or skip whenever — and on the Pro plan, read an Emcee round aloud and judge the answers live.
Everything you need for trivia night
Let it run itself
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.
Open Play Pro
Self-serve trivia on autopilot. Players drop in anytime and play at their own pace — no host needed. Today's, this week's and this month's leaderboards rotate on the TV. Optional geofencing keeps it bar-only.
Game Night Defaults
Your saved defaults are the starting point for Quick Start and Start a night. Scheduled nights can use those defaults or another saved plan, with their own timing tweaks. On Home, choose Redesign my night to revisit the seven setup questions.
Night Plans
Build your night once — rounds, timing, teams — and save it as a plan. Next week, start it in one tap; a scheduled night can play a saved plan too.
Make it your night
Game Night Mode
Multiple rounds, breaks, leaderboards, and a structured flow — perfect for a hosted event. Breaks between rounds run on a countdown the TV and every phone can see, and tonight's game can start itself at a set time.
Players Vote
Run a night where the crowd picks: before each round, players vote on the next category from a ballot you control (six options by default). Most votes wins. The crowd steers the playlist.
Emcee Rounds Pro
The host asks questions live, players submit answers on their phones, and the host judges in real time.
Team Mode
Play as 2–12 teams you name, or let each table name its own. Nobody plays teamless, one answer per team is a switch away, and team standings show on the TV and every phone. Perfect for a packed bar.
Quick Start
One tap and you're live: one round on your venue's game night defaults, with your timers and teams already set. For the night someone asks for trivia and you have no plan.
TV Display
A dedicated TV view shows questions, scores, and leaderboards. Works on any screen with a browser.
Themes & Colors
Choose a look for your host screen, players and TVs, from retro and seasonal styles to team colors. Players can follow the venue or choose their own look on their phones. Available on every plan.
Question Bank
73,000+ built-in questions across 530+ categories. Add your own custom questions anytime.
Workplace-Safe Mode
Choose topics cleared for work events from the built-in library, excluding sexual content, drugs, graphic violence, partisan politics and religious doctrine. On every plan, free included. Review any questions you add yourself. How it works →
Bring them back
Leaderboards
Round scores, night totals, and a monthly venue leaderboard — for players and, when a team keeps its name, for teams across nights. Give your regulars something to chase.
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, Google or Apple sign-in.
Also on iPhone and Android
Players who'd rather tap an icon can get the free Trivia Fun app from the App Store or Google Play — the same game, one tap from the home screen, and it can buzz them before each round. Nobody needs it to play. Get the app →
Round Alerts
Stepped away from the table? A player can turn on round alerts and their phone tells them when the next round starts — on Android in the browser or the free app, and on iPhone in the free app or from the Home Screen.

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.
