Can I test a trivia night on my own before guests come?
Yes. After you sign up, Quizado offers a demo game: three questions against three bot teams, about 3 minutes, and nothing is saved. You press what a host presses and see the big screen and a player phone react. Then start a real game, join it from your own phone and put it on your TV.
Quizado is software that your own staff run, or Auto-Host runs a Trivia night by itself. We never send a host.

Start with the demo game
The first time you sign in, Quizado offers a 3-minute demo game. You can open it again later from Settings or from the New Game screen. It works in the browser, the desktop app and the iOS and Android apps.
Three bot teams join, answer and buzz like a real room. A guide points at each button the first time. You can scan the join code with your own phone and play as a fourth team. Nothing from the demo game is saved.
See the other games too
After the demo game, short chapters drop you into the middle of other games with the bot teams: Family Face-Off, QuizoParty, audience votes, Auto-Host and music rounds. Every chapter plays in full on every plan, so you can see paid features before you pay.
Then run a real test game
Pick a free pack and open the lobby. Scan the join code with your own phone and make a team. A game needs one team to start, and your phone is enough. Now play a round from the host panel and watch what your phone shows.
Put the game on the TV you will use on the night. Open the venue's screen link in the TV's browser or on a laptop connected to the TV, or use Chromecast, Apple TV or Android TV. Check that the join code is easy to read from the back of the room.
Test Auto-Host before you trust it
On Pro and Business, and in the 7-day trial of Pro or Business, Auto-Host can run a Trivia night by itself. Turn it on and press Start: it holds on the join screen until the first team arrives. Join from your phone and watch it open answers, run the clock, reveal and score.
Questions venues ask
Do I need guests or staff to try it?
No. The demo game uses bot teams. For a real test game, your own phone joins as the team.
Does a test game count against the free plan?
A real test game is one of the free plan's 2 game starts in 24 hours, so test earlier in the day. The demo game with bot teams does not count.
Can I start a game with no teams at all?
Only with Auto-Host on. Then the game waits on the join screen for the first team. Without Auto-Host, the Start button waits for one team, which can be your phone.
Do my guests need to download an app?
No. Players join in their phone's browser with the code or the QR on the screen. They need no app and no account.
Is anything from my tests saved?
Nothing from the demo game is saved. A real test game is saved like any game, so it shows in your game history.
