Conference trivia
that runs itself.
The evening social is the session people actually remember, and it is usually the one nobody had time to plan. Attendees join from the phone already in their hand, teams form across companies instead of within them, and the scoring happens without a volunteer at the back with a spreadsheet.
How the session runs
One laptop, whatever screen the room already has, and no AV request beyond a browser tab.
Build the agenda
Pick your categories, rounds and timers, then save it as a night plan. The questions are already written, so what you are planning is the shape of the hour, not a quiz.
Attendees scan one code
A QR code goes up on the screen. They join from their own phones with a nickname — nothing to install, no account to create, and nothing for your registration desk to hand out.
Scores settle themselves
Nobody marks anything. Standings move on the big screen between rounds, and the final leaderboard is ready the second the last question closes — which is what you want when the bar opens at seven.
Built for a room that does not know each other
Real questions, not a sample pack

What it costs
A session in your first 30 days costs nothing. After that, room size and branding are the reasons to pay.
Questions
How many attendees can play at once?
One room holds 100 players on Pro, during your free 30 days, or with an Event Pass, tested at the cap; the free Starter plan holds 20. That is a real ceiling rather than a soft one, and conferences are often bigger — past 100 we split you into multiple rooms. Email hello@trivia-fun.com with your headcount before your date and we will work it out with you.
Do attendees need to download anything?
No. It runs in the browser — for the host, the attendees, and the screen. They scan the QR code and they are in the game in seconds, on whatever phone they walked in with.
Our attendees work for different companies. Can we keep the questions safe for work?
Yes. Workplace-Safe narrows the built-in library to topics cleared for work events, excluding alcohol and gambling, sexual content, drugs, graphic violence, partisan politics and religious doctrine. Historical and cultural questions can still appear. It also tightens player and team name filtering. Available on every plan; review any questions you add yourself.
Can we put our sponsors on the screen?
Yes, on Pro. Upload images or a short video and they run between rounds and on breaks, in the same slot your own branding uses. On the free plan the screen carries our “Powered by Trivia Fun” line instead.
Can we write a round about our own conference?
Yes, on Pro. An Emcee round lets the host read questions aloud and judge answers by hand, which is how you do a round about your keynote speaker or your industry.
Can we try it before the day?
Yes. Open a night on your laptop, join it from your own phone, and play a round to walk through the whole thing first. Your first 30 days are Pro with unlimited nights, so a rehearsal costs nothing — worth ten minutes when you only get one shot at the room.
We run one conference a year. Do we have to subscribe?
No. Three ways to do a single event. If your event is within 30 days of signing up, the free Pro trial covers it, no card. After that, the free plan covers up to 20 players if you are happy with a small “Powered by Trivia Fun” line on the screen — one Game Night a month is one session. An Event Pass is $299 once: your logo, no “Powered by” line, for a seven-day window you start when your event is, with no subscription attached. Or take Pro at $149 for the month and cancel after — cheaper, if you will remember to cancel.
What happens if the laptop dies mid-session?
Reopening the page picks up exactly where you left off, scores intact. The same is true if the venue wifi blips — one person drives it from a laptop, the screen is just a second browser tab, and neither needs anyone technical standing by.
Set up your conference session
Pro is free for your first 30 days, no card. After that, Starter includes one manually started night per calendar month for up to 20 players. Scheduled hostless nights require Pro, your free trial, or an active Event Pass.
