Quick answerUpdated

How do I host a live quiz for a group?

To host a live quiz with QG Playground, make a quiz yourself, ask Granny (the built-in AI) to draft one, or pick a ready-made quiz from the library. Press Go live. The big screen shows a QR code and a 6-character room code. Players open qgplay.live on any phone or laptop, type the code or scan the QR, pick a nickname and join, with no app and no player account. Each question runs on one shared clock: a 3-second countdown, a few seconds to read, then 20 seconds to answer by default. Faster correct answers earn more points, and the leaderboards you place in the quiz show a racing top 10 before the final podium. It works on a projector in the room, or over Zoom, Teams or Google Meet when you share the presenter view. The Free plan hosts up to 20 players a session, Pro hosts 100 and Pro Plus hosts 500.

Where people host live quizzes

Every question, in the same rhythm

The big screen and every phone move together, so the room reacts together. Every timing is adjustable.

  3. Answer20 s on phones, by default
  4. RevealVote counts, then the answer
  5. LeaderboardThe top 10 races

Tested at scale

QG Playground is tested at scale: big rooms, with many phones joining and answering together on everyday venue Wi-Fi. If a phone drops, the player can rejoin and carry on. Each plan sets how many players can join one session, and an event pass covers a single bigger event. Planning a large event? Tell us the date and the expected size, and we'll get ready for your room ahead of time.

Gamification with a switch for everything

Speed points, streaks, four lifelines and a podium, shaped by Quiz Granny's live events. Turn each one on or off per quiz.

Questions people ask

Can't find it? The help centre has step-by-step answers.

Can I run a live quiz in a team meeting on Zoom, Teams or Google Meet?
Yes. Share the browser window that shows the presenter view, and people join at qgplay.live on their phones or in a second browser tab. Nobody leaves the call.
How long does it take to set up?
A few minutes for a ready-made or AI-drafted quiz. Going live is one button, and the room code stays the same for about 3 hours, so you can open the room early.
Can I see what players see before the session?
Yes. Go live, then open qgplay.live on your own phone and join your room as a player. End the test run before your audience arrives.
Can teams share one phone?
Yes. Each team joins on one device and uses the team name as its nickname.
Do players need an app?
No. Players use their phone's browser at qgplay.live with the room code or QR code.
Can I run it on Zoom or Teams?
Yes. Share your browser window with the presenter view, and players join on their own devices.
How many people can play?
20 per session on Free, 100 on Pro, 500 on Pro Plus and unlimited on Enterprise.
What if someone joins late?
They join straight away and play from the next question. Their phone says so.
Can players see the answers on their phones?
After each question, phones show whether they were right, their points and the correct answer. The full leaderboard stays on the big screen.
Can I turn gamification off?
Yes. Each mechanic has its own switch, and without leaderboards the quiz ends with “That's a wrap”.
Do lifelines work in scheduled quizzes?
Yes, except Streak Shield, which is for live quizzes.
Which plan has streaks and lifelines?
Streaks, badges, lifelines and sound are on Pro and above.
