A virtual pub quiz only works if somebody is willing to be the quizmaster, and most of the pages you find are just lists of questions to read out while you tally scores in a notebook. This runs the whole thing for you. Open a private room, share the four-letter code in the WhatsApp group or the Teams chat, and the buzzer quiz deals out questions, times each round, decides who got in first and keeps the leaderboard. Everyone answers on their own phone, so nobody has to share a screen and nobody has to be trusted with the answers. It suits the Friday call with mates who have moved to different cities, the office quiz where half the team is remote, the fundraiser where you want rounds to keep moving, and the family get-together where the youngest and the oldest can both join from whatever device is nearest.
How to host your quiz night
- 1.Open a private room - it takes seconds and needs no account.
- 2.Paste the room code or invite link into your WhatsApp group, Discord server or Teams chat.
- 3.Start the buzzer quiz and pick how many rounds you want.
- 4.Play in the browser while your video call keeps running - the site handles questions, timing and scoring.
Why run it here?
Most virtual pub quiz pages give you a question list and leave the hard part to you: reading out loud, spotting who buzzed first, and arguing about the score. Here the game does all three, so the person who organised it gets to play too. Rounds are short enough that latecomers can join between them, and when the quiz has run its course the same room switches to drawing games, word games or social deduction without a new link or a new signup - which is usually what a quiz night turns into by round four.
