What's New & how we work

Always shipping — and always straightforward.

We add features constantly and keep the basics simple: players join free from any phone, hosts build games for free and only spend tokens when a game goes live. Here's how it works, and what we've shipped lately.

Everything runs in the browser. Nothing to install for hosts or players.

Build for free

Kept simple

No account required to play, and no clutter — just fast, live trivia.

Today's Trivia — a quick-start game, ready every morning

The quickest way to get a night running. Pick Daily on the host page and a game is already built for you: 15 questions written that morning from yesterday's news, this day in history, and our own library. There is nothing to set up — rename it if you like, create it, and it lands in your games with a join code, a QR poster and a live leaderboard, exactly like a game you built yourself. Tomorrow it is a different set.

New

Every question now says which pack it came from

Questions carry their pack name on the player's screen, on the reveal, on your host stage and on the TV overlay. A Middle-earth or Star Wars question now announces the world it belongs to instead of landing with no context — which matters most on the packs where knowing the universe is half the fun.

Improved

Rounds draw a better mix of questions

A round with no difficulty set now pulls a spread that leans easy-to-medium with a few hard ones, instead of a flat random draw — so a themed pack no longer opens with a run of deep cuts that empties the room. And if you click straight through the host form without picking banks, you get a mix of several categories rather than the same one every time.

Improved

A steadier countdown between questions

The “next question in…” countdown is now a single band across the top of the player screen. It used to be a floating bubble that changed size with every phase and nudged sideways each time the number ticked down.

New

Build a whole game in one API call

For hosts driving Trivia1 from Claude or their own tooling: a game with several rounds, each drawing from different packs at different difficulties, can now be created in a single request. A new banks_list call reports every pack you can use with its size and difficulty spread, so an assistant can plan a round it is actually able to fill.

New

Every question bank is now free 🎉

Free accounts now get our entire question library — every category, from General Knowledge and Geography to Music, Movies & TV, Sports, Science and History. And game size is no longer capped: build as many rounds and questions as you like. You only pay tokens for what you use — about 0.1 token per question in your game, and 1 token to spin up a brand-new question with AI. Want to build and save your own custom question banks to reuse? That's Pro.

There's now a Support tab in your account. Send us a question about hosting, credits, or billing, see your full ticket history, and get a reply straight to your inbox — usually within 24–48 hours.

Patriotic Trivia — free for the holiday weekend 🎆

Celebrate the Fourth of July with our new American History trivia bank — 270+ hand-checked questions on the founding, the flag, presidents, and national landmarks. New members who join through our Patriotic Trivia page get two ready-to-run games dropped straight into their account: a 3-round Patriotic Trivia Night and an endless Infinite Patriotic feed. Both are free to run all holiday weekend — no tokens, no metering, through July 5. Fire up the TV overlay for a full red-white-and-blue theme.

New

Private Royale — host your own knockout game

Pro hosts can now run their own single-elimination trivia game. Players join with a code, a wrong or missed answer knocks you out, and the last player standing wins.

Improved

Trivia Royale gets tougher as it goes

Questions now ramp up in difficulty over the course of a game, with surprise “expert” spike questions that narrow the field — so surviving to the end actually means something.

New

Star Trek category + an expert difficulty tier

Added a Star Trek question category, plus a brand-new “expert” difficulty level with exceptionally hard questions across every category.
