Buzzer Trivia
A buzzer for every team, a tile for every buzzer, and a leaderboard that moves after every question. Everyone answers everything; nobody sits out.
See the answer, hit the buzzer.
- The question fills your screen, then sits in the corner with a countdown ring.
- The answers appear one at a time. When you see the one you think is right, you hit your buzzer.
- One guess per team. The faster the buzz, the more points; a wrong guess knocks your tile out of that question, with a bang.
- The host checks the answer and the leaderboard moves. Between questions we can call out the big mover, or the question that knocked out most of the room.
- Top of the leaderboard when the set ends wins.
The board, one tile per buzzer, on your screen.
Up to 24 teams, a table each.
Up to 24 teams on the board, each known by a color and a symbol, and the tiles you do not use stay dark. A team is one person or a whole table sharing one buzzer, so a banquet room plays as tables. Question sets swap in seconds: the decade your crowd grew up in, your industry, your couple.
The opener, every time.
It teaches a room the rules by playing them, and it is over before anyone is tired of it. At a bar it is the buzzer special; inside a table trivia night it is the buzzer round.
Rooms that want everyone in it.
- Colleges. Orientation week and late-night programming as a drop-in, the leaderboard running while people come and go.
- After-prom and PTO nights. A rotating station with prizes, rounds kept short for the younger crowd.
- Company events. The opener before the Quiz Show, departments on the buzzers, kept short because the fast buzz wins.
- Bars and breweries. A buzzer special, or the buzzer round inside a regular paper quiz.
- Fundraisers. Buzzer rounds inside a table trivia night.
Board, buzzers, and sound.
- The host, and the laptop that puts the board on your screen.
- The buzzers, one per team, on the tables before doors.
- The sound and the microphones.
- The questions, from the library or written about your people.
A screen, power, and tables.
- A TV or projector we can plug into.
- Power near the screen.
- Tables as teams, or players one to a buzzer.
The honest answers.
Is it first buzz wins?
Not quite. Every team can answer every question; the fast buzz scores more, and a wrong one only costs you that question.
Can a table share a buzzer?
Yes. A team is whoever shares the buzzer, so a room bigger than the board plays as tables.
Can it be our weekly bar night?
As the special night, or as the buzzer round inside your regular quiz. Ask us about the weekly night on its own.
