Quizimodo is a free real-time pub quiz platform built for bars, parties, corporate events, and any social gathering where groups want to play a live quiz together. A host creates a quiz — either by generating questions with AI in seconds or by uploading their own file — and runs the game from a Host Dashboard on a laptop or phone. Players join instantly on any device by visiting quizimodo.online and entering a 6-digit game code; no app download or account is required. A Display screen, shown on a TV or projector, shows live questions and a leaderboard so everyone in the room can follow along. Quizimodo supports groups from 2 to hundreds of players and generates quiz questions in 8 languages including English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian, making it suitable for international audiences.

How do players join a Quizimodo quiz?

Players join a Quizimodo game without needing an account, app download, or any technical setup. To join, a player opens quizimodo.online on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop — and taps the Player button. They type the 6-digit game code displayed on the host's screen or on the room's TV. After entering the code and creating a team name with a chosen emoji, they are immediately in the lobby and see a live waiting screen on their phone. When the host starts each round, questions appear directly on the player's screen and they type or select their answers. Players can rejoin mid-game if they lose their connection by entering the same code again — the host approves or declines rejoins from the dashboard. No email address or password is ever required for players to participate.

Yes. Quizimodo has a permanently free plan that lets you host live quizzes for up to 50 players, with 5 AI-generated quizzes per day. The free plan is ideal for small pub nights, birthday parties, or first-time hosts trying the platform. When you reach the daily AI limit, you can still host from the pre-built quiz library. The Pro plan removes all limits: unlimited AI quiz generations per day, unlimited players per game, custom event branding with your venue name and logo on the display and join screens, quiz file uploads, and a saved quiz library for reusing your best rounds. Pro is available as a €5 single-day pass for one-off events, a €19 per month subscription, or a €165 per year subscription — the annual plan works out to under €14 per month.

Can Quizimodo generate quiz questions automatically?

Yes. Quizimodo uses Google Gemini AI to generate complete pub quiz rounds in seconds. When creating a quiz, the host sets a topic — anything from World History to 1990s Pop Music to Company Trivia — along with a difficulty level (Easy, Medium, or Hard), the number of rounds (1 to 10), and the number of questions per round (5 to 20). The AI generates a full set of questions and answers instantly. Question types include open-answer, multiple choice, yes/no, and image rounds where players identify photos from Wikimedia Commons. AI-generated quizzes are available in 8 languages: English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian. The free plan includes 5 AI quiz generations per day; Pro users get unlimited generations and can save generated quizzes to a library.

What types of questions does Quizimodo support?

Quizimodo supports four question types that can be mixed across rounds in the same quiz. Open-answer questions require players to type a free-text response, which the host reviews and marks — built-in fuzzy matching automatically handles common typos, abbreviations, and minor spelling variations. Multiple choice questions present four options on the player's screen with one correct answer, ideal for faster-paced rounds or mixed-ability groups. Yes/No questions are the simplest format: a single proposition that is either true or false, good for quick warm-up rounds. Image rounds display a real photograph sourced from Wikimedia Commons or Openverse, and players guess what they see — popular for recognising famous faces, landmarks, logos, or animals. All four question types can be generated automatically by the AI quiz generator or written manually when uploading a custom quiz file.

How many players can join a Quizimodo quiz?

The free plan supports up to 50 players per game — enough for most pub nights, birthday parties, and small team events. Players can join individually on their own device, or multiple people at one table can share a single device and play together under one team name. The Pro plan removes the player limit entirely, supporting unlimited simultaneous participants. Large pub quiz competitions, company all-hands events, or festival quiz stages with hundreds of players are all supported on Pro. The platform uses WebSocket connections via Socket.io for real-time synchronisation, so even with many players connected, all devices receive questions, answer notifications, and score updates at the same time. On the Display screen, the leaderboard updates live after each question, showing the top teams by score regardless of how large the group is.

Can I use Quizimodo for a corporate team building event?

Yes. Quizimodo is widely used for corporate team building events, both in-person and remote. The host generates a quiz in seconds on any topic — company trivia, industry knowledge, pop culture, or general knowledge. Employees join on their own devices by entering a 6-digit code; no software download or IT department involvement is needed. For remote teams, the host shares their screen while players answer on their phones from any location. For in-person events, a TV or projector shows the live Display screen with questions and a real-time leaderboard. The Pro plan adds custom branding: your company name and logo appear on the display screen and the player join screen. Quizimodo works for teams of 5 to hundreds of players and runs entirely in the browser on any operating system.

Does Quizimodo work in languages other than English?

Yes. Quizimodo generates and hosts quizzes in 8 languages: English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian. When creating an AI quiz, the host selects the language and all questions, answers, and explanatory text are generated in that language. The host dashboard and player interface can each be switched to any of the 8 supported languages independently — so a Polish host can run a Polish quiz while players may view their interface in another language. This makes Quizimodo suitable for international corporate events, multilingual pub nights, or venues in non-English-speaking countries. Multiple rounds within the same quiz can be in different languages, allowing a host to create a mixed-language quiz night as an additional challenge.

50 Pub Quiz Round Ideas That Keep Your Crowd Engaged All Night

Classic knowledge rounds (the foundation)

Speed rounds (tension builders)

Creative twist rounds (the memorable ones)

One creative-format round per quiz night is enough to make the whole evening feel produced rather than formulaic. These are the rounds people talk about on the walk home and mention the following week.

→Two Truths and a Lie — host reads three "facts" about a topic; teams identify the lie

→Music Bingo — host plays 15 seconds of 10 songs; teams mark off a bingo card
→The Expert Round — each team nominates one expert per topic who answers solo for double points
→Wipeout Round — teams score points but a wrong answer wipes their entire round score
→Steal-a-Point — teams can challenge another team's answer; if right, they steal the point
→Photo Finish — the final question is an image only the winning team sees; they describe it to the host

Using AI to generate these rounds

Quizimodo's AI generator can create a full question set for any of the round ideas above in under 30 seconds. Enter the theme, choose Easy / Medium / Hard, set the number of questions, and pick your language. The AI generates questions, answers, and (for multiple choice) distractors automatically. You can regenerate any question you don't like before the game starts.
