USE CASE · PUB QUIZ EVENTS
Run the pub quiz. Skip the calculator.
Questions on the pub's TV, answer sheets printed from the host screen, or answers on phones, and marking that takes a tap per team. The leaderboard is up before the next round starts.

How do you run a pub quiz?
Write six rounds of ten questions, put them on a screen the room can see, and give every team a way to answer, an answer sheet or a phone. Read each question out, mark the answers at the end of each round and announce the standings. That's the shape of a pub quiz, and six rounds take about 90 to 120 minutes.
The Party Quiz does the admin: it shows each question on the TV, prints the answer sheets (or takes answers on phones), and adds up the marks as you give them. You still read the questions, crack the jokes and rule on “near enough”. That's the job people come for.
A pub quiz, start to finish
Set up
Six rounds of ten questions, general knowledge, a picture round, music, estimation, connections. Write them, or let the AI draft the rounds and add the pictures yourself.
Doors open
Open the TV link on the pub's screen and print one answer sheet per team.
Each round
Read the questions as they appear on the TV. Teams write their answers down.
Marking
Collect the sheets, or read the answers from the phones, and tap ✓, ½ or ✗ for each team. The leaderboard updates.
PAPER STAYS
Your regulars keep their pens
Plenty of pub quizzes ban phones, and The Party Quiz doesn't argue: choose paper answers when you create the quiz and the phones stay out of it. The sheets print from the host screen, and the scoring still happens on screen.
Answer sheetsHOUSE RULES
Half points, closest guess, all or nothing
Every answer can score full, half or nothing. Set a round to closest-guess-wins for estimation, or all-or-nothing for a round where one slip costs the lot. Finish with a connections round worth extra.
Pub quizPub quiz questions
How many rounds should a pub quiz have?
Six rounds of ten questions is the classic shape, and takes about 90 to 120 minutes with the marking. The wizard sets up anything from one to ten rounds of 5 to 15 questions, and a round can grow to 40 in the editor.
How many teams can a pub quiz have?
Up to 4 teams on Quiz Starter; 20 on Quiz Host, Quizmaster or a Quiz Night event. Connected phones: 10 on Quiz Starter, 100 with those paid offers.
Can I reuse a quiz next week?
Duplicate it and change the questions, teams, rounds and settings come along. Every quiz keeps its own room code.
Does it cost anything for a venue?
For a company or commercial event, Quiz Night costs €9 once and includes 100 bonus Quiz Coins. For ongoing commercial hosting, Quizmaster is €9/month or €86.40/year including the first host. Players never pay to join. 1 Quiz Coin = 1 generated question.
Can two people run it?
Yes. Open the host screen on two devices, say, a laptop by the TV and a phone in the quizmaster's hand. Run the questions from one; marks made on either appear on both.
