Round 1 · straight from a live game
Their phone. Your screen.
The whole room playing.
These are real screenshots from a live game. Players scan a QR code and play from their phone browser. The venue TV shows the question, the reveal, and a leaderboard with everyone's name on it.
In their hand · trivia: tap, lock, talk trash
On the big screen · every team, every round, live
And 30 seconds of it moving · more cuts
Round 2 · two ways in
The game is the excuse.
The friends are the point.

Round 3 · the part nobody else has
Tell it what the night is.
It builds the show.
Most platforms hand you a question bank and wish you luck. Brainflood hands you a finished night: the Event Builder assembles it from a plain-text brief, and the Auto Host can run it while you work the room.
Event Builder
Tell it what the night is. Wedding, brewery trivia, office party. It builds the rounds, writes the questions, makes a slideshow from the photos you drop in, and hands you a run-of-show. The project sticks around so you can pick it back up later.
Auto Host
Run it fully automated, hybrid, or all you. Auto Host reads the questions, grades answers, and keeps the pace - and you grab the mic whenever the room needs a human. Four voices: Witty, Professional, Casual, Snarky.
The output is one Event on one tape. The host taps next. The room never sees the seams. Tap a beat to see it up close.
Swap in bingo, pick'em, or a bracket. The tape is yours.
Round 4 · the whole menu
Pick a night, mix the modes
Same dashboard, same crowd-tested mechanics. Trivia Tuesdays, Karaoke Thursdays, Pick'em Sundays. Or all three of them in one night, because Brainflood treats a night as an Event that holds whatever activities you want.
13,000+ questions across 15 categories, from straight MC to picture and music rounds.
Full KJ dashboard, tip jar built in, and a queue that mostly runs itself.
A clip plays, teams name the artist and the song. Half-right still scores.
5×5 grid, Daily Doubles, Final wagers. The corporate-night favorite.
Live NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and soccer. Lock one pick for double points.
Phones turn into buzzers. Answers under three seconds. The room gets loud.
Bracketed championship nights. Real rivalries, one trophy on the line.
One standings table teams climb all season, live on a public page.
Teams write fakes, everyone votes. Balderdash energy without the $40 box.
5×5 cards, four ways to win. Sometimes the question is the call.
Round 5 · for hosts, the full gig
Real venues. Real money.
One good gig pays for the whole year. Everything after that is yours.
Base pay + crowd tips + venue bonus + tournaments + corporate gigs + sponsors + recurring team subs. Side hustler ($800/mo) to full-time pro ($8,000+/mo).
Run weekly nights at three different venues without juggling three logins. Per-venue branding, slideshows, tickers, and skins.
Run a recurring season on top of your normal nights. Points accrue on their own when a night ends, and a public standings page keeps regulars coming back.
See which categories hit, which nights grow, and which venues actually keep people coming back. Then do more of what works.
Drag rounds around on a timeline and watch a live preview. Hate a question? Hit rotate and get a matched replacement from the same category. Save a night that worked and run the same shape next week.
Your own public page at app.brainflood.com/h/yourname with a Follow button for regulars, plus promo flyers with an auto-QR and a full paper print pack.
12 deep articles: hosting craft, equipment, finding venues, marketing, taxes & LLC, scaling to multi-host. Free, no email gate.
Legacy hosting platforms charge $49–$150+/mo and take a cut of your gig. Brainflood charges $19/mo, takes nothing else, period.
