Trivia runs on every plan. The free Home plan admits up to 4 player phones per game, so for more teams use a paid plan or the 7-day trial. Audience votes need Starter or higher, and you write the vote questions yourself: hosting a pack you wrote needs Pro or Business. For a remote team, your video call app shares the screen, not Quizado.

Teams guess what the office said
The top pick becomes the right answer, and the teams now guess it on their phones. Reveal the answer and the Game Screen shows what the crowd picked. Nobody can study for this round, so every team has a chance.
- Chapter 7
Play the trivia round
The standings show between rounds. Start the next round and move each question on with the main button: Lock Answers, Reveal Answer, Next Question. The scores update after every reveal.
- Chapter 8
Crown the winner
After the last question, the Game Screen shows the podium and the Winner. The final standings stay up, so the winning team gets its moment and a photo.
Tips
- Keep it short. Two or three rounds of 3 to 5 questions fit in 30 to 45 minutes, and people leave wanting more.
- Mix the teams across departments if you want people to meet, or keep departments together if you want a friendly rivalry.
- On a video call, give the rounds a longer time limit in the round settings. A call can lag by a few seconds.
- Write one or two questions about your own company, such as the year it started. They get the biggest laughs.
- A small prize helps: the winners pick the next team lunch, or they get a trophy on their desk for a month.
Questions
Do my colleagues need an app or an account?
No. They open the join link or scan the QR code in the phone browser and type a team name.
Can remote and office colleagues play in the same game?
Yes. Colleagues in the room scan the QR code on the TV, and remote colleagues open the join link. Everyone answers on their own phone.
Which video call app works?
Any app that can share a window, such as Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. Quizado needs no special connection to it.
How many teams can play?
On a paid plan or the 7-day trial there is no limit on phones. The free Home plan admits up to 4 player phones per game.
