Bar trivia,
without the paper.

How it works

Three steps. Five minutes. You're running trivia.

1

Queue your night in 90 seconds

Pick categories or load a saved template. 73,000 questions across 533 categories. Add your own custom questions anytime.

2

Players scan and play

Show the QR code on the TV. Players are in the game in seconds — no app download, no account needed.

3

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

The host asks questions live, players submit answers on their phones, and the host judges in real time.

Open Play

Self-serve trivia on autopilot. Players drop in anytime and play at their own pace — no host needed. Daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards rotate on the TV. Optional geofencing keeps it bar-only.

Scheduled Game Nights

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.

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.

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.

No app downloads. Players scan a QR code and they're in. Zero friction.
Works on any device. Phones, tablets, laptops — if it has a browser, it works.
Your room code, your brand. Set a permanent room code for your venue. Players remember it.
TV ads between rounds. Upload your own images and videos to show during breaks.
Run it yourself, hire a host — or go hostless. The app handles scoring, and scheduled game nights run start to finish with nobody driving.
Give your staff their own logins. Bartenders get their own sign-ins to run the night — billing and account settings stay owner-only.
Players never pay. No per-player fees, no gimmicks — the venue pays a flat monthly rate. See pricing →
Recovers from crashes. Host's tab dies mid-game? Players auto-reconnect to the same game state — no lost scores. Backed up every 6 hours, Sentry-monitored.
Up to 100 players per room. Stress-tested at the cap with no lag — pack the bar.
