Trivia night.
With a personality.

A laptop, desktop or larger tablet for the host controls, one phone per team, and internet access. A shared TV or projector is optional. Players must be 13 or older.

Choose Test Drive or a paid package, verify your email and complete payment if needed. Then open your host dashboard and follow the main next step: name your game and select Open my lobby. Ready starter questions are included. Gift recipients receive a TrivIdiots email with an Open my host dashboard button and verify their recipient email first. Extra settings and question tools are optional.

Look for TrivIdiots from support@trividiots.live in Spam/Junk as well as your inbox. On the verification page, check the address, use Fix email address if needed, or Resend code when the countdown ends. Use the newest code. If a gift invitation is missing, visit trividiots.live/get-started/gift with the same recipient email.

No. Players see questions, picture and emoji clues, answer results, and scores on their team’s smartphone page. Team rankings appear on the leaderboard between rounds and at the end. A TV, projector, or shared computer screen is optional: it gives everyone a bigger view of the same game. Without one, use Copy invite to send the game link, or share the game code. The host still keeps the host controls open to start and manage the game.

New personal libraries prepare normal questions independently. Game setup selects three bonuses from a finite reviewed deck and freezes them for that game. Hosts are shown remaining unseen inventory; if it cannot fill the game, they choose reviewed text wagers or explicitly accepted repeats. The small starter deck is offline-reviewed, not human-playtested, and has no theme-specific visual inventory. Themed text fallback keeps the selected theme. Existing saved preparations and games retain their original bonus rules. No new picture or emoji generation is needed for this workflow.

No. You are more like the bouncer than a quizmaster. Set up a ready question set, invite your teams and press Start. The app runs the questions, timers, judging, scores and reveals. Keep answer spoilers closed and join a team yourself. Your host controls are there for pauses, late arrivals, removing a team or settling an answer dispute.

Both. Compete to win, but bring your sense of humor. Familiar themes, clever emoji rebuses, bonus wagers and spectacularly wrong guesses all have a place. TrivIdiots responds to the teams and answers in your live game: your crowd helps create the show. Choose Friendly, Sassy or Savage-ish commentary to fit the room. It is built for fun, not just showing off obscure facts.

Yes. Use words, emojis or a mixture for your team name. You can answer entirely in emojis too, when their combined meaning clearly gives the complete answer. A correct all-emoji normal answer earns 1.5 points; a correct text or mixed answer earns 1. A vaguely related symbol or several different guesses do not count. For an emoji rebus, decode it instead of copying its symbols. Bonus wagers keep their wager scoring; numeric tiebreakers need a number. Emoji team names do not earn extra points.

A selected wrong answer can get a playful team callout during the reveal. A standout far-out answer may also earn a separate 0.5 creativity point; not every wrong answer or roast earns that award. On the shared screen, the optional cranky AI announcer shouts the team name, pauses, then delivers the burn. Music dips for the voice, and the reveal waits for it within a bounded playback window. The winning team gets a sassy victory announcement too. Voice depends on connection and availability; the game and written reveals still work without it.

Yes—tap Enable sounds and turn up the volume for more fun. Team phones use short question and reveal beeps, plus a three-second warning if you have not answered. Only the roasted team gets the wah-wah-wah sting and vibration where supported. Only the winning team gets the long cheers and happy music. Continuous music and spoken callouts stay on the shared screen, so a room full of phones does not become a room full of competing soundtracks. Keep your team page open; after a phone interruption, tap to re-enable sound or refresh the same page if needed.

Yes. Preview five music styles on the host dashboard and save your preference for new games, or change the current game's Sound check. The shared screen has thinking music, relaxed reveal music, a more intense bonus-wager track and a champion celebration. Set the sass level for your crowd, and switch music, effects or the AI announcer off when you want. Enable sounds on each device you want to hear.

No. Creating a game selects questions from the Ready library you chose. The game prefers unused facts and screens for related subjects across all three rounds. A saved pool is finite, so it eventually repeats. Game allowances count sessions you start; library credits prepare new question sets. Monthly packs are included with eligible subscriptions and do not use a personal generation credit.

There is one bonus per round. You see the question before choosing your private wager, within your earned points and the displayed limit. Once wagers close, you have up to 60 seconds to answer. Correct answers win the wager; wrong answers lose it, with scores never below zero. The host can allow an all-in final bonus.

Yes. Compare hosting packages and choose the allowance that fits your venue. Prepare questions ahead, test Wi-Fi and any screens you plan to use, and explain your house or prize rules. For help, contact support@trividiots.live.
