Host live trivia. Players answer on phones.

TR1VIA puts questions on the big screen, gives every player a private phone answer card, and lets the host run the night from one laptop. Answers shuffle so nobody can cheat.

One press · three surfaces · answers shuffled per phone

    Tap reveal, run the timer, and keep control of the night.

  • Venue TV

    Everyone sees the same question, board, timer, and payoff.

  • Player phones

  • No extra gear

    No app download, buzzers, tablets, or paper answer sheets.

First live host proof

The anti-cheat trickCalling out the answer helps no one.

Every phone shuffles the four answers into its own order. One question on the screen, four different layouts in four hands — so “it’s number three!” means nothing.

How it works in one night
  1. 01

    Pick your categories

    Type your own questions, or let TR1VIA write a whole category for you in seconds. Any topic, fully yours.

  2. 02

    Players join from their seats

    They scan a code on the screen — no app to download, no sign-up. They're in within seconds.

  3. 03

    You run the board off the TV

    Tap a question. The whole room sees it at once and a 20-second timer starts. You set the pace.

  4. 04

    Everyone answers alone

    The four answers are shuffled on every single phone, so shouting “it’s number three!” means nothing.

Whatever your room isOne game. Every kind of room.

For your venue

Fill the slow nights. Regulars come back for the next one — and buy another round while they're at it.

For your night

Look pro with zero prep. TR1VIA writes the questions and runs the clock, so you just work the mic.

For your group

Office, club, or the kitchen table. Free, fair, and no app for anyone to download.

Why it’s different

Solo, never teams

Even a table of nine each plays for themselves. No shared answer sheets, no one strong player carrying the table.

Cheating doesn’t work

Every phone shows the four answers in a different order. Calling out a number helps no one — you read your own screen.

Built for a real room

Your laptop drives the venue TV; players use the phones already in their pockets. No buzzers, no gear to haul in.

It looks the part

Real-time, fast, and genuinely beautiful on the big screen — a long way from a slideshow of questions.

Real nights, running now
I love the new Tr1via platform. It has cut my time in half creating games. I am impressed how it adapts to my type of questions the more I use it.
