What is Bar Trivia?
Bar trivia — also known as pub quiz or trivia night — is a beloved social tradition where teams gather at a bar, pub, or restaurant to test their knowledge and compete for bragging rights. A trivia host presents questions across categories like pop culture, history, science, sports, and more. Teams huddle together, debate answers, and submit their responses. Scores are tallied round by round, building excitement as the leaderboard shifts throughout the evening. What started in British pubs decades ago has become a worldwide phenomenon, drawing crowds to neighborhood watering holes every week. Quizado brings this tradition into the modern age with smartphone-based answering, automated scoring, and interactive round types that keep every player engaged from first question to final answer.
