Trivia mode

Trivia.

The classic. Multiple choice, true/false, short answer. The bones of a Tuesday-night pub quiz, except the question pool is 13,000 deep and the grading comes pre-sorted for you to confirm.

A live trivia question on a player phone: four big tappable answer cards

Captured from a live game

How a night runs

Four steps from "doors open" to "winners walk out with the gift card."

01

Pick or generate a question pack

Pull from the 13,000-question library, drop in your own, or have the brains at Brainflood build a themed pack from a single prompt ("80s movie sequels," "Idaho geography").

02

Run the rounds

Mix MC, true/false, and short-answer in the same round. Drop in a picture round or a music clip when the energy needs a shake-up.

03

Grade fast

MC and T/F auto-score. Short answers arrive pre-graded, so "GeorgeWashington" and "george washington" count as the same answer. Team points land when you confirm the scores, and you can overrule any grade.

04

Reveal the leaderboard

Standings hit the projector live. Top three get a confetti pop. The bar tab argument starts on its own.

What makes it shine

13,000+ questions across 15 categories

Curated, imported from open databases, and written by the brains at Brainflood. Sorted by difficulty so you can build a "warm them up, then crush them" arc without staring at a spreadsheet.

Question generation, on demand

Type a topic. Get 10 questions with answer keys, ready for you to review. Useful for the niche corporate ask ("write me a round about our Q3 product launch").

Mix formats inside one round

A round of 10 doesn't have to be 10 multiple-choice. Swap one for a picture, one for a music clip, one for true/false. Variety keeps the room from coasting.

Round timeline + quick-rotate duds

Build the night on a round timeline in Create. Each round shows a live preview as you tune it, and a Cellar pack can fill it in one pick. Mid-build, hit Rotate on any question that lands soft and the platform swaps in a matched same-category, same-difficulty replacement. Bulk-rotate every soft one in the picker without losing your spot.

Picture, audio, and music rounds

Add an image, an audio clip, or a YouTube link. Pictures and videos go up on the venue screen, and audio plays from your console. "Name That Album Cover" and "Guess the Theme Song" without juggling a Spotify tab.

Smart grading for short answers

"Marie Curie" and "marie currie" both get the point. Typos, capitals and a missing "the" are forgiven, and each answer is marked Suggested or Check. You only look hard at the weird ones, and your call is final.

Players join with a QR code

No app downloads, no account creation. Scan, type a team name, you're in. By question 1 they've forgotten the friction existed.

Print Pack for paper nights

Running it on paper, or want a backup for spotty Wi-Fi? Print Pack generates join and check-in posters, answer sheets, a scorecard, the answer key, and a run-of-show in one go. Captains can check their team in from a phone while the answers stay on paper.

Score paper rounds by question

Tick each team's right answers in one grid and the totals add themselves. You see which questions got 20% and which got 95%, and your library remembers it. House rules too: a once-a-night Joker, list questions scored by count, and rounds worth more. The Paper Night Kit

Closest-number tiebreaks

Type the real answer and each team's guess. Brainflood ranks them, with "without going over" if you play it that way, and puts the winner on the TV. Works for estimation rounds too.
