Get started freeSeven formats to keep every round fresh
A great quiz mixes things up. Five scoring formats to build your rounds from, plus two audience activities for the moments when keeping score gets in the way.
- Multiple Choice — four options, one answer. Crowd-pleasing and fast.
- Text Entry — players type from scratch. Ask for two things in one question and score them separately.
- Buzzer — first to buzz in gets to answer. Perfect for dramatic moments.
- True or False — simple and fast. Great for rapid-fire rounds.
- Numerical — set a tolerance range so close answers still score.
- Poll — ask the room's opinion and watch the results build live. No points, no wrong answers.
- Word Cloud — everyone submits a word or three and the answers grow into a live cloud on the big screen.
- Try the audience activities first — Poll and Word Cloud are Plus features. Run them in Test Mode to see how your room reacts before you decide.
Images, audio, video, and YouTube
From picture rounds to music intros, all media types are supported on every plan. Upload your own files directly or drop in a YouTube link to instantly add high-quality video content to your questions.
- YouTube Integration — Simply paste a link to embed any YouTube video.
- Image Uploads — Create stunning picture rounds with direct file uploads.
