Trivia Host App - Run Bar Trivia From Your Phone or Laptop
The trivia host app for bars, venues and groups. Host from a phone, tablet or laptop, players join by QR code, and Quizado scores every round live on the big screen.
The complete toolkit for trivia hosts
Quizado is the all-in-one trivia host software for bars, restaurants, breweries, schools and event venues. Whether you are running your first trivia night or hosting weekly events across multiple venues, the platform handles every part of the show - questions, scoring, timing, buzzers and the big-screen experience.
Quizado is a bar trivia app and a trivia hosting app in one: the host runs the show from the app, and every player joins from a browser on their own phone. As a live trivia app it keeps buzzers, answers and scores in sync in real time, so a group trivia app session works the same for eight friends around a table as it does for forty teams in a pub.
Players join with a QR code or short link from their own phone - no app download, no account, no friction. Hosts run the game from a laptop, tablet or our native macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS or Android apps. The big screen shows the questions, leaderboard and team colors while players see their own private view.
Built-in AI question generation means you can spin up a complete themed Bar Trivia round - sports finals, local history, holiday-themed - in seconds. From Trivia Pro you can also write your own question sets and add images, audio and video for picture and music rounds. Bulk import from a spreadsheet is on Hospitality Group.
