How to host a quiz night with friends
You don’t need a quizmaster, paper or pens to host a movie and TV quiz night. With Quiz Night it takes five minutes: everyone answers on their own phone and scores are counted automatically.
Step by step
- Pick the packs. Choose 2–4 shows or film series your group watches most. Mixing packs means everyone knows something.
- Choose a game mode. Use "Same room" if everyone is together, "Remote" if you are apart, or "Teams" for one shared screen.
- Set questions and time. 20 questions with 20 seconds each is a good first game; it takes about 15 minutes.
- Set the difficulty. Mixed difficulty is the most fun for most groups. Pick "Expert" for big fans.
- Share the room code. Send the room code or link to the group; everyone joins from their phone.
- Play and check the results. After the game, a detailed report shows who got which question right.
Tips
- With more than 4 people, make teams of 2–4; team mode only needs one screen.
- Switch packs between rounds: one sitcom round, one fantasy round.
- A small prize for the winning team (like picking the next movie) keeps it lively.
- Check each pack’s scope (seasons) if someone wants to avoid spoilers.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions for a quiz night?
20–30 questions per round is ideal. 20 questions at 20 seconds each takes about 15 minutes.
Can you play a quiz with friends online?
Yes. In "Remote" mode everyone joins from their own phone with a room code, so it works alongside a video call.
Can you play without phones?
Yes. In "Teams" mode one screen (a TV or computer) is enough; teams answer in turns.
