Buzzer App for Trivia

The Buzzer App Every Phone Becomes

Q: Is the buzzer really accurate enough for fair play?

Yes. Quizado uses server-side timestamps to determine the actual buzz order. Even when player phones are on different networks, the system compensates for latency so the actual fastest tap wins. We have tested at sub-100ms accuracy in real bar wifi conditions.

Q: Do players need to install an app?

No. The buzzer runs in any phone browser. Players scan a QR code and the buzzer screen loads instantly. There is nothing to install or sign up for.

Q: How many players can buzz in at once?

There is no practical limit. The buzz-in mechanic works the same with 5 teams or 500 players. Server-side resolution scales horizontally so you can run buzzer rounds at large events.

Q: What happens if a player has a slow connection?

The system compensates for network latency in both directions. A player with slightly slower wifi will not lose to a player with fast wifi if their actual tap was faster. We measure the round-trip time and adjust the timestamps accordingly.

Q: Can I use the buzzer for non-trivia events?

Yes. Quizado supports buzzer-only rounds without any quiz content - useful for game-show segments, debate competitions or any time you need a live first-to-respond moment. Just set up an empty board and use the buzzer round type.

Q: Is the buzzer free?

Yes. The buzzer is part of every Quizado tier including the free tier. There is no per-player or per-buzz fee. Paid plans unlock additional round types and venue branding.

Run live buzzer rounds with millisecond-accurate timing. Players use their own phones, no hardware to rent or own. Free to start.

A real buzzer system without the buzzer boxes

Traditional buzzer systems cost hundreds or thousands of dollars and require batteries, charging stations and hardware that breaks. Quizado turns every player phone into a live buzzer with millisecond-accurate timing - and there is no hardware to manage.

Players scan a QR code to join. When the host opens a buzzer round, a giant buzzer button appears on every player phone. The first tap wins the answer slot. Server-side timing ensures fairness even when phones are on different networks. No more "I buzzed first!" arguments.

Use it for classroom quiz shows, trivia nights, corporate training games, family game nights or any time you need a live buzz-in moment. Works on iOS, Android and any modern smartphone browser.
