Start a Trivia night

New Game takes you from an empty dashboard to a live Trivia lobby in two screens. Then you start the game and move it on with one button.

Every plan

Captions are on the video.

Before you start

You can start a Trivia night on every plan, including the free Home plan. On Home you get the free packs, up to 4 player phones and 2 game starts in any 24 hours. Premium packs need Starter, and hosting your own pack needs Pro.

  1. Choose Trivia

    Click New Game. Under What are we playing?, click Trivia.

  2. Pick tonight's questions

    In English, the Tonight card has a Fresh Pack ready: pick a length, such as 1 hour. Or pick a pack under Packs for you. A pack with a lock needs a paid plan. To play a pack you made, click Open under Your packs. You can build packs on every plan; hosting your own pack needs Pro.

  3. Open the lobby

    Click Play on the Tonight card, or Host this pack on a pack. The lobby opens with your join code. Under Check the game, click Show the running order to check the rounds and minutes.

  4. Put the game on the big screen

    Click Big screen > Open big screen in the top bar. A new window opens with the join QR code. Move it to your TV or projector.

  5. Let the teams join

    Players scan the QR code or type the code on their phones. Each new team appears in the room on the left of the lobby. You need at least one team to start. Until then, Start Game is dim.

  6. Start the game

    Click Start Game at the bottom right, then click Start: with the first round name. Or pick Let Quizado run it under How it runs, then click Start with Auto-Host, and Quizado runs the whole night for you. Auto-Host is part of Pro and Business.

  7. Run each question

    Press the main action button, or the space bar, to move on. Its label tells you what comes next, such as Lock Answers, Reveal Answer or Next Question.

Tips

  • In English, Shuffle on the Tonight card builds a new Fresh Pack from questions your venue has not played, and Preview shows its rounds first.
  • Your first game: the lobby shows a card with three steps, Show it on the TV, Guests scan the code and Press Start. It only shows on a game you open from the first-run screen, and the join code is on it.
  • To play another day, click Schedule for later at the bottom of the lobby and pick the night.
  • Click the copy button next to the join link in the room to share it in a group chat.
  • To close the lobby without playing, click Cancel game in the top bar.

Questions

Why can't I start another game on the free plan?

The Home plan allows 2 game starts in any 24 hours, and every start counts. A paid plan or the 7-day trial removes the limit.

The game would not start. What now?

Quizado says why. If the pack is locked on your plan, the plans that unlock it open; you can upgrade or click Pick another pack. If the pack cannot be played, click Pick another pack. Try again shows only when trying again can work, for example after a short connection problem.

Do players need an app or an account?

No. Players join in their phone browser with the QR code or the code on the screen. They only type a team name.

Can I use my own questions?

Yes. Build a pack under Library, then click Open under Your packs on New Game. You can build a pack on any plan, and hosting it needs Pro.
