Quiz Runners sells finished quiz files you download, print and score in a spreadsheet. Quizado gives you built-in packs that score themselves on the phones in the room, and from Trivia Pro the tools to write, generate and edit rounds yourself.
Quiz Runners is a shop for ready-made quiz files; Quizado is the software that runs the night, with question packs already included and, from Trivia Pro, AI generation for the weeks when the shelf is empty.
Their store sells packs one at a time and in bundles, listed from $27 for a single quiz pack (quizrunners.com, checked August 2026). A weekly quiz means restocking all year.
Quizado includes question packs with the plan, free packs on the free tier and a premium library from Neighborhood Pub up. Running one more quiz does not add a line to the card statement.
The packs ship with an Excel-based scoring system. It is better than a napkin, but a human still collects sheets, marks them and types the marks in while the room waits.
Phone answers are scored as they arrive. The leaderboard on the TV updates itself, so the gap between rounds is as long as you want it to be.
A bought pack is a finished object. If question four is too hard for your crowd, or the answer has aged badly, you either skip it or improvise on the night.
From Trivia Pro you write your own question sets. Swap the wording, change the difficulty, drop a round, reorder the night, and save it as a template for next time.
General knowledge packs are written for everybody, which means they are written for nobody in particular. No pack contains a round about your street, your brewery or the local side.
From Trivia Pro, AI generation writes a bar trivia round from a prompt and you edit it before anyone sees it. Local rounds are the ones regulars talk about the next day.
Handouts have to be printed before doors, handed out, collected, deciphered and thrown away. Handwriting arguments are a weekly feature.
Answers arrive typed. There is nothing to print, nothing to collect and no debate about whether that letter was an a or an o.
A fixed run of rounds and a final wager is a solid format, and after six months of it your regulars can predict the evening minute by minute.
Mix in a Buzzer Race, a Knockout round or an Everyone Scores round, or move up to Hospitality Group for Music Bingo. Changing the format costs nothing and wakes the room up.
Von Grund auf für modernes Bar-Trivia und Live-Events entwickelt.
You do not have to write anything to start. The free plan comes with free packs and paid plans open the premium library, so the ready-made route is still there when you want it.
Type something like nineties one-hit wonders or the history of this street, and get a bar trivia round back. Monthly AI credits start on Trivia Pro, and you can edit every question afterwards.
Players scan a QR code and answer in the browser. Scoring happens as answers land, so the host never leaves the microphone to go and mark paper.
Buzzer Race, Everyone Answers, Everyone Scores, Knockout and Wager, with Music Bingo as a sixth on Hospitality Group. Build a night that changes pace rather than repeating one rhythm for two hours.
The display window puts the question, the timer and the standings on the TV. The host device keeps the answer key hidden, which a shared slide deck cannot do.
From Trivia Pro, leagues keep a running total across weeks. Teams come back to defend a place in the table, which is the whole point of a weekly quiz.
Quiz Runners is a shop for finished trivia nights. Checked in August 2026 on quizrunners.com, they sell single quiz packs, multi-packs and specialty packs, along with feud-style and bingo kits and a weekly subscription service. Single quiz packs were listed at $27 each. Store pages change, so check their site for current pricing before you order.
That model works well for one thing in particular: a host who wants a proven night with no preparation. The questions are human-written and checked, the categories are balanced, and the file lands in your inbox. For a charity fundraiser once a year, or for a host covering an unfamiliar venue, that is exactly the right purchase.
The strain shows on a weekly schedule. Fifty-two quizzes a year means feeding the shelf, keeping track of which numbered pack you have already run, and remembering not to repeat one when the same twelve teams turn up every Tuesday. The cost per night is not enormous, but it never stops, and it buys the same object every time.
This is the part people miss when they compare a pack shop with software. Quizado is not a blank editor that expects you to write everything. Question packs come with the product: free packs on the free plan, and a premium question library from the Neighborhood Pub plan up. You can open the app, pick a pack, and be running a night in a few minutes without writing a single question.
The difference is what happens after you pick one. From Trivia Pro, a pack in Quizado is a starting point rather than a finished file. You can write your own question sets, rewrite a question that has aged, change the round type from Everyone Answers to a Buzzer Race, add a music question, and save the result. Next week you start from your own edited version rather than from a fresh purchase.
AI generation covers the gap in between, from Trivia Pro and for bar trivia. When you want a round about a film that came out last month, or about the town the venue sits in, you type the topic and read back what comes out. It is a draft, not an oracle, so check it. But a draft you can fix in five minutes beats waiting for somebody to publish a pack on the subject.
Paper trivia has a rhythm set by marking. Ten questions, collect the sheets, mark them, argue about one, type the totals, read them out. That break is where a room goes quiet and people start looking at their phones anyway.
When answers arrive from phones, the marking break disappears. Scores are on the screen the moment a round closes, so the host can move straight into the next one or stretch the gap deliberately to sell another round of drinks. Buzzer rounds become possible at all, because the host console locks the first buzz it receives rather than the host guessing which arm went up.
There is one real trade in the other direction. Paper never goes down. If the venue wifi drops, a printed sheet and a downloaded file carry on and Quizado does not, because there is no offline mode. If your building has a genuinely unreliable connection, that is worth weighing honestly before you switch.
Downloadable quiz files solve some jobs better than any app does.
Weekly hosts tend to move for one of these reasons.
Open a free account and run a built-in pack to see how the console and the round types work. When you want to rebuild a night you already own, that is a Trivia Pro job, because writing your own question sets starts there.
Put the QR code on the screen and the table tents. Keep the printed sheets in a drawer for the first week only. Most rooms need one round to get the idea.
Once the format is yours, use the included packs for the backbone and, on Trivia Pro, generate a topical bar trivia round each week. Start a season table so the standings carry over.
Their questions are written and checked by people, and the file you download is yours forever with no account, no login and no dependency on anybody staying in business. A printed handout works in a basement with no signal. If your priority is a finished, human-written night that cannot fail because of wifi, buying a pack is a reasonable answer and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
New to running a night in-house? Start with the bar trivia software overview, then look at the trivia host app if you would rather run everything from a phone or laptop behind the bar.
Start free with the built-in packs, put the QR code on the TV and see how the room reacts. Writing your own question sets starts on Trivia Pro.
