Quiz Rush
Fast questions and faster fingers. The quickest right answer wins.
A quiz built for speed. Questions arrive on every phone at once, the clock is short, and answering quickly is worth more than answering safely. It is the format that turns a quiet room loud in about ninety seconds.

How it plays
Everybody joins with a four letter code and answers on their own phone while the question sits on the big screen. Points scale with how fast you get there, so a confident wrong answer costs you twice: once for being wrong and once for the seconds you spent being sure. Between questions the scoreboard moves, which is where most of the noise comes from. Bring your own questions or play a pack, and it works just as well for six people on a sofa as for forty in a hall.

How you can play it
Online room
Everybody on their own phone, in the same room or three hundred miles apart. Guests join with a four letter code and no download.
Party screen
The telly or a laptop shows the game to the whole room. Phones become controllers, so nobody has to squint at somebody else’s screen.
Play it with your own words
Every format runs on a deck, and you can write your own. A deck you make is yours to share with your family by code straight away. Anything you publish to strangers is read by a moderator first.
