This is for Trivia, and it works on every plan. The free Home plan admits up to 4 player phones per game. Paid plans and the 7-day trial have no phone limit. Start a Trivia night first, so the lobby is open.
Players scan the QR code
Players point their phone camera at the QR code on the big screen and open the link. Or they go to app.quizado.com/join, type the join code and tap Connect. The join code is the 6 numbers or your venue code, the one word.
Start a new team
On the phone, the player taps Start a new team. On Set up your team they type a team name, or tap the dice for a random one, and pick a mascot. Then they tap Next. On About you they type their name and tap No thanks, just play or Yes, send me these, and they are in.
Teammates join the same team
One phone per team is enough. A teammate who wants their own phone taps Join your team, under Team already playing on another phone?, and taps their team under Which team are you on?. On About you they type their name and tap No thanks, just play or Yes, send me these. The host or the team captain lets them in.
Watch the teams arrive
Each team appears in the room on your control panel and on the big screen. When the room is ready, click Start Game.
Tips
- Under Settings in the lobby, New teams chooses what happens when a team arrives after the start: Let them in, Ask me mid-game or Always ask.
- During the game, click Big screen > Make QR big in the top bar to show the join QR code full screen for late arrivals.
- A player who started a team before sees Join as with that team on the first screen. One tap brings back its name and look. The score starts at zero for each game.
Questions
Do players need to download an app?
No. Quizado runs in the phone browser. Players do not need an app or an account.
How many phones can join?
On the free Home plan, up to 4 player phones per game. Every phone counts, teammates' phones too. A fifth phone sees that the game is full. Paid plans and the trial have no phone limit.
Can a whole team play on one phone?
Yes. One phone per team is enough. Teammates can also join the same team from their own phones.
What if a player types the wrong code?
The phone says the code is invalid. They can check the code on the big screen and type it again.
What if another team already has that name?
The phone says Another team is called and the name. The player taps Pick a new name to play under a new name, or Join that team to ask the captain to let them in. If only the mascot is taken, the phone picks a free one and the player still joins with one tap.
