FAQ
Questions, answered
Everything people ask before their first quiz night β and a few things they ask after.
Getting started
What is The Party Quiz?
A free web app for hosting quiz nights on a TV. You build a quiz β a Jeopardy-style board, a pub quiz or a quickfire round β open it on the television, and guests play from their own phones with a room code.
What do I need?
A screen everyone can see (a smart TV, a laptop on a TV, or a projector), a phone or laptop for yourself, and β if you want buzzers β your guests' phones.
Do I need an account?
You do, as the host: sign in with an email link or Google. Your guests never need one.
How long does it take to make a quiz?
About ten minutes for a short one you write yourself, less if the AI drafts it. The wizard sets up the rounds and teams for you.
Playing
How do guests join?
They scan the QR code on the TV, or go to thepartyquiz.com/buzz and type the five-character room code. Then a first name and a team, and they're in.
Do guests need to install an app?
No. Everything runs in the phone's browser.
How many people can play?
Two to eight teams of any size, or up to 24 players on their own in board and quickfire quizzes.
Can we play without phones?
Yes. Run the board with shouts and hands, or a pub quiz on printed answer sheets. You score everything from the host screen.
Can people play remotely?
Yes, if they can see the TV screen β share it on a video call β and join the buzzer room with the code.
Formats and features
What formats are there?
Three: a Jeopardy-style board answered out loud with phone buzzers, a written pub quiz marked by you, and quickfire multiple choice answered on phones and scored automatically.
Can I mix formats in one quiz?
No β each quiz is one format, chosen when you create it. Build two quizzes and switch between them on the night; each has its own room code, so guests rejoin and the scores start again.
Can I add music and video?
Yes: paste a YouTube link on a board clue or a pub-quiz question and play it audio-only or as a video.
What are action squares?
Tiles on a board that hold a dare instead of a question β hidden, so nobody knows which tile it is until someone picks it.
Does the AI write the whole quiz?
It can: describe a theme, choose a difficulty and it drafts every round in your quiz's language. You then edit anything you like.
Languages
Which languages does it support?
The TV, the buzzers and the host screen come in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Questions can be written β by you or the AI β in any of 93 languages.
Does the TV switch language automatically?
Yes. It follows the language of the quiz, and so do the phones that join.
Pricing and privacy
Is it free?
Yes, completely: no paid plan, no card, no ads. The limits are 50 quizzes per account and, for the AI generator, 10 generations a minute and 150 a day.
What do you store about my guests?
The first name they type, the team they pick and their buzzes and answers β deleted automatically seven days after the party, or straight away when you delete the quiz.
Who is behind The Party Quiz?
EXPX B.V., an innovation studio in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (KVK 70364338).
Can I delete my account?
Yes, from your dashboard. It removes your email, your quizzes and the guest names recorded against them.
