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
The Home plan includes free starter question packs, live scoring and big-screen play for up to 4 players. No credit card required. Upgrade when you need a larger game or premium features.
“What about 20 people?”
Built for a full room
Guests play in teams, and a team can share one phone. Try it free with 4 phones, then a paid plan fits the whole crowd. No audience-mode second-class seating.
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.
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.
