Put a quiz on the taproom TV, let guests answer from their phone and give Tuesday a reason to exist. No kitchen, no PA system and no buzzer boxes required.
Most trivia tools were written for a sports bar with a stage, a sound desk and a paid quizmaster. A taproom is a different room. There is often no kitchen, no house PA and no raised platform to stand on. There is a bar, a cold room, a garage door and rows of long tables. Quizado is built to run in that room, from one laptop or tablet, by whoever happens to be pouring that night.
Guests scan a QR code on the table and answer in their phone browser. Nobody installs an app and nobody needs to hear you shout across a concrete floor, because the question is already on the screen in front of them. Scores update on the big screen after every question, so the room can see who is ahead without anyone reading a scoreboard out loud.
The free plan covers a full quiz for up to 16 players in one venue with the built-in packs, which is enough to test a Tuesday before you commit to anything. Writing your own question sets starts on Trivia Pro, together with media rounds and leagues, and paid plans lift the player cap.
Gemacht für Moderatoren und Locations, die vom ersten Tag an professionell wirken müssen.
Push the game to the TV or projector you already own through the external display window. Questions, timers and live scores on the wall, the host controls on your own screen.
Every question appears on the guest phone and on the big screen at the same time. You never have to read a question twice over the noise of a fermenter or a food truck generator.
Type a topic such as hop varieties, Belgian styles or brewing history and the AI generator writes the round. Monthly AI credits start on Trivia Pro. Edit any answer that does not match how your brewers talk.
Communal seating means strangers end up on one bench. Teams register themselves on their phones, so a table of six can split into two teams or play as one without a clipboard.
Buzzer Race, Everyone Answers, Everyone Scores, Knockout and Wager, and six with Music Bingo on Hospitality Group. Change the pace when the taproom fills up or thins out.
Answers are scored the moment they land and the leaderboard redraws itself. Nobody behind the bar is adding up paper slips while a queue forms.
The free plan gives you Bar Trivia, free question packs, big-screen themes and one venue with no card. Run two nights before you decide whether the quiz has legs.
Tuesday and Wednesday are the shifts that lose money. A quiz gives regulars a reason to come in.
When food comes from a truck outside, the quiz has to hold the room between deliveries.
Build a themed round around the beer you are launching and let the quiz do the education.
Run the same quiz across several sites and keep the question library in one account.
A pub quiz assumes a landlord with a microphone and a room that already goes quiet when he taps it. A taproom rarely has either. The ceiling is high, the floor is polished concrete and the tanks are right there behind the glass. Sound bounces. If your format depends on everyone hearing a spoken question, half the room will miss it and the other half will ask you to repeat it.
The fix is to move the question onto two screens: the wall and the phone. Quizado shows the question on the external display and on every joined handset at the same moment. Guests read rather than listen. You still talk between rounds, because that is the fun part, but nothing important depends on your voice carrying to the far bench.
The other difference is the crowd. Taproom guests often arrive in twos and threes and end up sharing a bench with strangers. Let teams form on the night rather than fixing them in advance. Guests name their own team when they join, so a bench can enter as one team or split into two without anyone at the bar rewriting a list.
One beer round per quiz is the sweet spot. Any more and the people who came with a friend who works in beer will feel shut out. Keep it to five or six questions and make at least two of them answerable by a curious drinker rather than a certified cicerone. Hop origins, what makes a lager a lager, which country a style comes from: those land. Precise IBU figures do not.
Use your own beers as material. A round on the names of your core range, the year each one launched, or the artwork on the cans gets regulars competing on knowledge they picked up in your room. It also quietly teaches newcomers your line-up, which is worth more than any table tent.
For the other rounds, mix general knowledge in so the quiz is not a specialist exam. Our free bar trivia questions page has ready-made sets you can lift, and AI credits on Trivia Pro fill any gap in about a minute if a round comes up short on the night.
A laptop or tablet for the host, a screen the room can see, and working wifi. That is the list. Quizado runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPad, iPhone, Android and in a browser, so the device behind the bar is almost certainly enough. Internet is required for the host device and the guest phones. There is no offline mode.
Print the join QR code and put one on each table rather than relying on a single sign at the door. Guests who arrive halfway through the first round can still join, and you avoid a queue of people squinting at the projector. A short bit of tape and a laminated card per table is the whole investment.
Set an end time and stick to it. Taproom crowds drink earlier than bar crowds, and a quiz that runs past the point where people planned to leave costs you the last round of sales. Six rounds of eight questions is a comfortable ninety minutes including the pauses.
