Why people go looking

Three reasons to want an alternative

Phone-controlled party games are a great format. The friction is never the format - it is the console, the price, and the one person who owns it.

“Can you play without a console?”

No console needed

Quizado runs in a browser. Cast from a laptop, tablet or phone to the TV, or plug in an HDMI cable. No Switch, no PlayStation, no gaming PC in the living room.

“Are there free games like this?”

Actually free

Der Home Plan enthält kostenlose Starterpakete, Live-Punkte und Großbildanzeige für bis zu 16 Spieler. Keine Kreditkarte nötig. Wechsle zu einem bezahlten Tarif, wenn du größere Spiele oder Premium-Funktionen brauchst.

“What about 20 people?”

Built for a full room

Guests play in teams, and a team can share one phone - so a crowd fits inside the free 16-player limit. No audience-mode second-class seating.

Side by side

Quizado vs. the party games you already know

All three put the game on a screen and the controls in your hand. They differ on what you need to own and who has to run it.

Custom prompts

Different animals, honestly: a drawing game is chaos and a quiz is competition. If your group argues about answers rather than laughs at doodles, a quiz is the better night.

Questions

Phone-controlled party games: FAQ

Can you play party games like this without a console?+

Yes. Quizado runs in any modern browser, so a laptop, tablet or phone is enough. Cast the tab or plug in HDMI to get it on the big screen - no console, no download, and no install for your guests either.

Are there free games like Jackbox?+

Quizados kostenloser Home Plan enthält Starterpakete, Handy-Buzzer, Live-Punkte und Großbildanzeige für bis zu 16 Spieler, ohne Kreditkarte. Größere Spiele benötigen einen bezahlten Tarif. Eigene Fragen und Medienfragen erfordern Trivia Pro oder Hospitality Group.

Can you play with 20 people?+

Put people in teams and share a phone per team - that is how a room of twenty fits comfortably in the free plan's 16-player limit, and it makes for a better game because teams talk. Bigger crowds are supported on the paid plans.

Does it work over Zoom or a video call?+

Share your screen on the call and everyone still answers on their own phone, so remote players aren't stuck shouting over each other. It is the same game, just with the big screen streamed.

Do my guests need the app or an account?+

No. They open a link or scan the code and they are in - no app store, no sign-up. Only the host has an account.

Is it any good with kids and grandparents in the room?+

That is what it is built for. One tap per answer, questions shown large on the TV, and packs graded easy to hard so you can start somewhere nobody gets crushed.

Everyone's already holding a controller

Put a quiz on the TV and let the room play from their phones. Free tonight.
