Trivia Host Software That Looks Like a Real Game Show
Everything you need to host professional trivia nights: AI-generated questions, QR-code player join, live phone buzzers and big-screen leaderboards. Free to start.
The complete toolkit for trivia hosts
Quizado is the all-in-one trivia host software for bars, restaurants, breweries, schools and event venues. Whether you are running your first trivia night or hosting weekly events across multiple venues, the platform handles every part of the show - questions, scoring, timing, buzzers and the big-screen experience.
Players join with a QR code or short link from their own phone - no app download, no account, no friction. Hosts run the game from a laptop, tablet or our native macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS or Android apps. The big screen shows the questions, leaderboard and team colors while players see their own private view.
Built-in AI question generation means you can spin up a complete themed round - sports finals, local history, holiday-themed - in seconds. Or import your own questions and add images, audio and video for picture and music rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is trivia host software?
Trivia host software is a platform that helps you run live trivia events. Quizado handles question delivery, player join, scoring, timing, buzzers, the big-screen display and the leaderboard. Hosts focus on the room while the software handles the mechanics.
Do I need special hardware to host trivia with Quizado?
No. Quizado runs on any laptop, tablet, phone or modern web browser. You need a TV or projector to display the game screen and players bring their own smartphones. There are no buzzer boxes, tablets or rented hardware required.
How does Quizado compare to paid hosting services like Sporcle Live or Geeks Who Drink?
Sporcle Live and Geeks Who Drink send an outside host to your venue for a weekly fee. Quizado is software your existing staff use to run the night themselves - so you keep the host fee as profit. Most venues find the savings cover Quizado many times over.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Quizado has a generous free tier that lets you host complete games with AI question generation and all six round types. Paid plans unlock unlimited custom games, advanced branding and venue-grade features.
Can players join from any phone?
Yes. Players scan a QR code with their phone camera or open a short URL in any browser. There is no app to download, no account to create and no permissions to grant. Works on iOS, Android and even older smartphones.
Can I run trivia for remote or hybrid teams?
Yes. Share your screen on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams and paste the join link in chat. Remote players join from their phone or laptop while you host the show from anywhere. The leaderboard and scoring work the same as in-person.
