Create Your Player Account

You only need to do this once.

Click the “Play Trivia” button on our website (your host venue will also provide a QR code).

Choose Register and create your player account using:

Email and password

Once registered, you’ll log in with the same account at any future Quizzoholics event.

Note: Email verification isn’t required to play, but you will need access to that email if you ever have to reset your password.

Quizzoholics is fully team-based—scores, standings, and prizes are all tracked by team name. Even if you’re playing solo, you’ll still create a team so the system can track your progress.

After logging in, you’ll be prompted to:

• Create a Team

• Join a Team

• Play With an Existing Team (returning players)

Creating a Team

If you’re the one organizing your group:

1. Select Create Team.

2. Choose your team name—this is what appears on leaderboards and standings.

3. You’ll automatically become the Team Captain for that team.

Inside your profile, you’ll see:

• Your Team Details

• A unique Team Key (6-letter code)

• Options to invite teammates by email or phone number

Team Name Tip: Team names work like usernames. If you change yours, the old name becomes available for anyone to claim. So if you landed the perfect pun… maybe don’t give it up.

Everyone on your team needs their own individual login. First-time players will be prompted to register before joining.

You can join a team in two ways:

1. Join by Team Key

After logging in, select Join Team and enter the 6-letter Team Key your captain provides.

2. Be Added Manually

Your Team Captain can add you from their Manage Team section by searching for you via email or phone number.

Once you’ve joined a team, you’ll remain on that roster until you leave or your captain removes you.

When You Arrive at a Quizzoholics Event

Connect to the Game

Scan the venue’s QR code, or

Click the “Play” button on our website

Log in to your Quizzoholics account (if you aren’t already)

Enter the Game Pin announced by the host

• The Game Pin is a 4-digit code unique to that night’s game.

• If you scanned the QR code, this Game Pin will be pre-filled for you.

Choose Your Team

After entering the Game Pin, you’ll see options to:

• Create a new team

• Join an existing team

• Select from a drop-down list of teams you’re already part of (as captain or teammate)

Choose which team you’re playing as for that game—and you’re in.

Game Pin vs. Team Key (Don’t Mix These Up)

• Game Pin = 4-digit code that connects you to tonight’s game

• Team Key = 6-letter code used to join a specific team

What If the Team Captain Isn’t There?

Team captains typically control the team during gameplay and submit answers.
If your usual captain isn’t at the event:

• The first teammate to log in for that team automatically takes control as captain for the night.

Each game features 10 rounds of trivia with a mix of:

• Themed Q&A rounds

• Visual image rounds

• Audio “Name That Tune”–style rounds

• Speed rounds

• A multi-answer challenge

• A big final random knowledge round

Your host runs the show, keeps the pace, and announces breaks and standings.

What You See on Your Device

Once you’re in the game:

• All teammates see each question on their own device.

• For visual rounds, images appear clearly on your screen.

• For audio rounds:

  • Each clip is played over the venue speakers twice.

  • Then, every teammate can replay the audio individually on their own device—as many times as the round timer allows.

Answering Questions

• Only the Team Captain can type and submit answers.

• As the captain types:

  • All teammates can see the answers fill in on their own devices in real time.

  • This makes it easy to collaborate and know if your captain is really listening to your input .

You can change your answers anytime during the round until:

• The captain taps Submit, or

• The round timer runs out

Once either happens:

• Your answers are locked in for that round.

• If you don’t manually submit before the timer expires, whatever you had entered is automatically submitted to the host.

Our scoring model is straightforward: get a question right, earn points. The team with the highest total at the end of the night wins (because… that’s how winning works). Some venues may also award bonus prizes for segment winners (every two rounds).

Rounds 1–8

Each round contains 6 questions, worth 2 points each.

• Round 4 (Name that tune): Each question has two parts—1 point for the song title and 1 point for the artist. You can earn partial credit; you don’t need both to score.

Round 9 — Multiple Answer Question

A single question worth up to 10 points.

Round 10 — Random Knowledge

Ten questions, 2 points each, for a total of 20 points.
________________________________

The highest possible score in a Quizzoholics game is 158 points.
This total is achievable only when teams maximize their scoring using the available power-ups (explained in the next section).

Your cumulative score is updated during scoring breaks:

• Every 2 rounds through round 8

• After Round 9

• And once more at the end of Round 10

You can see the leaderboard at the bottom of your screen during the game, so you always know where you stand

Each team gets two power-ups per game, and you can use each one once. They’re simple—but strategic.

The Wild Card can be played during any of the first eight rounds.

• It doubles your points for that round.

• No penalties, no tricks—just double points.

The Double Down is only available in Round 10.

• Like the Wild Card, it doubles your points for the round.

• But here’s the catch: if you activate it and enter any incorrect answers, your team scores 0 points for the entire round.

• Skipped or blank answers do not hurt you—only wrong ones.

After a team uses a power-up, a ⚡️ icon will appear next to their name on the leaderboard.

• Team Size: Live play is limited to up to 8 players per team (even though the app doesn’t hard-cap it). ***Some venues may have stricter team limits

• Devices: Only one device is required per team for submitting answers, but:

  • It’s highly recommended that all teammates have the game open so they can see questions, images, and audio clearly—especially in loud venues.

• Late arrivals: Teams can join the game late using the Game Pin. You’ll start earning points from whichever round you join.

You can use WiFi or cellular service—if your phone can browse the web, you can play. Slower devices may be a bit laggy, but the game will still work.

We love competition. We do not love cheating.

No Outside Help

Yes, you’re on your phone.
Yes, you could Google or ask ChatGPT for answers.
Please don’t.

• No searching for answers during rounds

• No lifelines; phoning a friend who isn’t present is not allowed.

• No using other trivia apps or detailed notebooks for “inspiration”

The prizes are fun, not life-changing—but playing fair keeps the game fun for everyone.

Be Cool to Staff

Trivia night usually means:

• A full room showing up at once

• Servers getting slammed with orders

So please:

• Be patient if food and drinks take a little longer

• Treat your servers with respect

• At Quizzoholics events, a 20% tip is considered the baseline—feel free to go above and beyond if your server is crushing it.

Coming in 2026, compete across multiple weeks for even more prizes!

Our events are free to play, but tipping your host is always appreciated. If everyone on your team throws in a dollar or two, it goes a long way toward saying thanks for keeping the night fun and running smoothly. We even include a Venmo link(if available) during the intermission screens to make it easy!
