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 template. 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 — no app 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
Three straight from the built-in library — the same ones your attendees would see.

What it costs
A single conference session fits inside the free plan. Branding is the reason to pay.
Questions
How many attendees can play at once?
One room holds 100 players, tested at the cap. 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 mode is a switch you set per night, and it draws only from a hand-vetted allowlist of categories — about 67,000 questions across 485 of them. It fails closed: a category nobody has reviewed is treated as unsafe and sits out. It works at the level of whole categories rather than scanning question text, and it is available on every plan, including the free one.
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, two ways, both 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. Or import a written set as JSON and let the app run it.
Can we try it before the day?
Yes. Practice runs a round against bot players so you can walk through the whole thing on your own laptop first. Scores are not saved, and it is on every plan — 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. The free plan covers it if you are happy with our name on the screen — one Game Night a week is one session. An Event Pass is $299 once: your branding, your imported round, 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.
