Quiz software

The quiz software behind my events.

Quiz Live and Family Fortunes: two pieces of software I built myself for live corporate events, and operate live at every booking — not a subscription tool you run yourself.

Two pieces of software, built for one thing.

Most quiz hosts run a slideshow, a spreadsheet, or someone else’s subscription tool. I built my own: Quiz Live, a Kahoot-style interactive quiz app, and Family Fortunes, a two-team game show board — both designed from scratch for a live room full of people, not a meeting or a classroom.

Neither is a product you sign up for. I operate both live, as part of hosting your event — the same way I run the microphone.

  • No account, no subscription — I build and run it around your event
  • Guests join in their browser, no app-store download
  • Built and load-tested for 200+ simultaneous players

Why build it myself

What that actually gets you.

01

Built in-house, not licensed

Quiz Live and Family Fortunes are both my own software, built specifically for live events — not a rebadged SaaS tool or a template everyone else hires too.

02

No app to download

Guests join in their phone’s browser — scan a QR code or type a 6-digit PIN. Installable to the home screen if they want it, never required.

03

Real-time, not click-through

Every phone in the room is live at once — questions, timers, scoring and the leaderboard update instantly, not on a delay or a refresh.

04

Runs on the night, not in the cloud dashboard

There is no separate account for you to log into and manage. I build the quiz around your event, then run it live from the room.

05

Team mode built in

Guests can play solo or as teams, with the leaderboard and podium tracking whichever you choose.

06

Scales to a real room

Built and load-tested for 200+ players joining and answering at once, not a handful of people in a meeting.

Quiz Live

The interactive quiz app.

A Kahoot-style live quiz: guests answer on their own phone, the big screen shows the question, countdown and live results. Correct answers score more the faster they land.

Family Fortunes

The two-team game show board.

A different format for a different mood — two teams, one big screen, survey questions written around your company, hosted live from the microphone with strikes, a pot and fast money.

The whole library

Eight games. One app. One screen.

Every screen below is the real software, running live — not a mockup. They all share one host control panel, so switching from a quiz to a card game to a scavenger hunt takes a tap, with nothing to plug in and no dead air while a laptop catches up.

Good to know

Quiz software FAQs.

Is your quiz software something we can use ourselves, or do you run it?

I run it. Quiz Live and Family Fortunes are not self-serve tools you log into — I build the quiz around your event and operate it live from the room, the same as any other hosted entertainment.

What is the best quiz software for a pub-style quiz night?

For a hosted corporate quiz night, Quiz Live is built exactly for that: big colour answer tiles, a live leaderboard and a podium finish, running on guests’ own phones. See quiz master hire for booking details.

Is there a free version we can try?

There is a live, playable demo — open the app and play a round yourself, free, any time. Running it at your event is part of a booking.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests join in their phone’s browser by scanning a QR code or typing a PIN. It can be added to the home screen like an app if they want, but nothing is required beforehand.

How many players can the software handle?

It has been load-tested with 250 simultaneous players joining and answering at once with zero errors and zero lost answers — comfortably covers a large conference room.

Can the questions be about our company?

Yes, for both Quiz Live and Family Fortunes — I write rounds around your business, your industry and your in-jokes, alongside general knowledge where it fits.
