Game nights

Tuesday needs a reason

OlloVue·4 min read

A good quiz night fills a Tuesday. The reason most venues do not run one is that a quiz needs a host, and a host is a person you have to find, pay and replace when they leave.

Strip the host out and what is left is the part people actually came for: questions on the big screen, a phone in every hand, a leaderboard, a prize. That part can run itself.

Four nights, no host

Every phone is a buzzer. Nobody hands anything out, and nobody collects it at the end.

How the room joins

A code in the corner of the screen. Scan it and you are in, no app, no sign-up, a name and you are playing. The screen shows who has locked in. Staff pick the night from the app or tell the agent to start trivia at eight, and it starts at eight whether or not anyone remembered.

A room of people looking up at a quiz on the big screen, phones in hand
The questions on the wall, the answers on every phone, and nobody at the front with a microphone.

The room is the show

Games are one version of a bigger idea. Guests end up on the wall from their own phones: a cheer with a name on it, a photo of the table, a shout-out someone sent, a clip the room votes on. The screen stops being the thing the room watches and becomes the thing the room is in.

And the wall is not only yours. Rooms across the network can play the same night together, from wherever they are, so a quiz between two bars on the same street is one game with two leaderboards.

Tuesday does not need a headliner. It needs a reason to sit down, and a screen that can run the evening without anyone on the door.
