What You Get
Suggested starter topic: Pub quiz night — classic general knowledge mixed rounds
How This Works
The pub quiz is a fixture for a reason: it's the format that turns a quiet midweek pub into a full room of teams arguing over the capital of Australia. The classic structure is well understood — a handful of rounds across general knowledge, music, history, geography, science, sport, and current affairs, usually with a picture round and a sneaky wildcard. The hard part has never been the format. It's the weekly grind of writing fresh questions, printing answer sheets, and marking them by hand while everyone waits.
Trivana collapses that work into about 60 seconds. You describe the quiz you want — "a classic mixed general-knowledge quiz," "a 90s music round," "a hard geography round" — and you get a voice-hosted quiz where an AI quizmaster reads every question aloud, reacts to right and wrong answers, and keeps the night moving. You share one link or a QR code, teams play on their phones, and the scoring is automatic. Nothing to print, nothing to mark.
Round ideas are where this gets fun. A good night mixes a confident-crowd round (music, movies, pop culture) with a couple of harder rounds (science, geography, history) and a curveball or two. Because you can generate any round on demand and dial the difficulty, you can build a quiz that's winnable for a casual Friday crowd or genuinely brutal for the regulars who show up every week to defend their title. You're not locked into one stale question bank.
It isn't only for hosts. Pub quiz teams use Trivana to practice between quiz nights — spin up a mixed-round quiz, drop it in the group chat, and find out who's actually pulling their weight. If your team keeps dying on the science and geography rounds, generate exactly those, on hard, and drill them. It's a low-effort way to sharpen up before the real thing.
For venues, the economics are simple: it's free to try and $11/month for unlimited 20-question rounds with the AI quizmaster — far less than legacy trivia subscriptions, and with no MC fee on top. The bar trivia software page covers the full venue setup and the head-to-head against systems like Buzztime and Crowdpurr. The quickest way to feel it, though, is to play the demo quiz above — that's the exact experience your teams would get, quizmaster voice and all.
How To Launch This
A classic pub quiz runs 4-8 rounds, usually mixing general knowledge, music, history, geography, science, sport, and current affairs — often with a picture or wildcard round thrown in. Each round is typically 5-10 questions. With Trivana you can generate any of these rounds on demand in about a minute, so you can assemble a full night without owning a question bank.
Yes — that's the core of it. Describe what you want ("classic mixed general knowledge," "a 90s music round," "a geography round, hard") and Trivana builds a voice-hosted quiz in about 60 seconds. You share one link or a QR code, an AI quizmaster reads every question aloud and reacts to answers, and the scoring happens automatically. No question sheets to print and nothing to mark by hand.
Trivana generates the questions for your chosen theme and difficulty, and every question is fact-checked before the quiz goes live. You can set the level — easy enough that a casual Friday crowd stays in it, or hard enough to separate the regulars who take it seriously. Each question comes with the correct answer and a short explanation the host can read out.
Yes. Teams use it to practice between quiz nights — generate a mixed-round quiz, play it on the group chat, and see who's carrying the team. Because you can target weak spots ("science and geography only, hard"), it's a quick way to drill the categories your team keeps losing on.
No. You share one link or show a QR code, and players join on their own phones in the browser — no app, no signup, no room codes to type in. That's what makes it work in a noisy pub: people just scan and play.
It's free to try, and Creator Pro is $11/month for unlimited 20-question rounds with the AI quizmaster. For a venue running a weekly quiz, that's far cheaper than legacy trivia systems — the bar trivia software page has the full comparison and the no-host setup details.
