What is Quizado?

Quizado is a game-show hosting platform that lets a host run live Bar Trivia, Family Face-Off and QuizoParty for a group on any screen. Players join from their own phones with no app or account required, while the host controls the game from a browser, desktop app or mobile app. The company was founded in 2020 in Tallinn, Estonia.

The site reports more than 5,000 hosts and more than 20,000 players entertained across over 150 countries. Beyond bars and pubs, it is pitched at corporate events, DJs and entertainers, classrooms and assisted living activities. Territory, Catch That Tune, Music Bingo and Price Check round out the list of games.

How does Quizado work?

A host opens a ready-made pack, or types a topic and reviews the draft the AI writes, then arranges up to six rounds in order. The join code and QR go on the big screen. Teams scan, name themselves from their seats and start playing. Quizado keeps the clock and the leaderboard while the host runs the room.

The board can run on an Apple TV or Google TV app, a Chromecast, AirPlay or HDMI. Trivia, Family Face-Off and QuizoParty nights run on Quizado's servers, so a host can continue on another device if a battery dies. Results are saved, so a later night can pick up where the last one ended.

Key features of Quizado

Bar Trivia mixes six round types: buzzer race, speed, knowledge, knockout, wager and music or picture rounds. Family Face-Off offers survey reveals with strikes and steals, and QuizoParty offers a clue board with buzzer lockout. Auto-Host can open questions, run the timer, reveal answers and score rounds, with settings for start, pacing and answer times on untimed rounds.

The AI generator drafts questions and wrong answers from a topic in eight languages, and nothing goes live until the host has read and saved it. Hosts can also control a round from the phone lock screen, Apple Watch or Wear OS. Family Face-Off, QuizoParty and Territory can be downloaded for offline hosting on paid plans.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Players join by QR code in a browser with no account, download or buzzer hardware, and pay nothing on any plan.
  • Three game shows plus music rounds run from one host console instead of separate tools.
  • Free plan includes Family Face-Off and QuizoParty, so a host can try a real night before paying.
  • Nights run on Quizado's servers, so a dead host device does not end the game.
  • Family Face-Off, QuizoParty and Territory can run offline on paid plans.
  • Runs on Apple TV, Google TV, Chromecast, AirPlay and HDMI, plus watch controls for the host.

Cons

  • The free plan is capped at 4 players and 2 games per day, so real venue use requires a paid plan.
  • Bar Trivia and phone joining need an internet connection; only three game shows work offline.
  • Leagues, custom branding, slides and bulk import need the €199/month Business plan.
  • Hosts must hold their own music licence for music rounds, and no third-party software integrations are listed.
