Why Switch from Quizado to Buzztime?
AI-generated isn't the same as professionally written
AI can create a trivia round in seconds, but generated questions still need to be reviewed for accuracy, difficulty, wording, and quality.
Buzztime gives you 800,000+ questions written by real people. Your staff doesn't have to generate, fact-check, or edit questions before customers can start playing.
Your customers want more than one trivia format
A custom trivia night is great, but customers coming back week after week need variety to keep the experience interesting.
Buzztime offers 19 game types with entertainment running 24/7. Give guests different ways to play instead of relying on the same trivia experience every visit.
Trivia doesn't have to wait for trivia night
Scheduled trivia gives customers something to do for a few hours. What happens during the rest of the week?
Buzztime runs 24/7. Guests can walk in, start playing, compete and climb the leaderboard even when you're not hosting a scheduled trivia event.
Stop building trivia from scratch
Generating a themed round may be quick, but someone still has to choose the topic, create it, review the questions and prepare the game.
Buzztime already has a library of more than 800,000 questions ready to play. Your entertainment is there when you need it — without creating every game yourself.
Give players a reason to come back
A trivia night shouldn't end when the final question appears. Regular players want competition, recognition and another reason to return.
Buzztime includes real-time leaderboards so players can compete, see where they rank and keep coming back to challenge other players.
Turn entertainment into venue marketing
Your trivia screens shouldn't only display questions. They're valuable screen space inside your business.
Buzztime includes custom branding and ad creation, helping turn your entertainment system into another way to promote your venue, specials, events and offers.
Turn gameplay into POS sales with Bar Hero
Trivia should do more than entertain customers. It can also encourage them to order another drink, appetizer, or menu item.
Buzztime Bar Hero connects gameplay with your POS. A winning player spins for a reward that can unlock a limited-time offer for the entire venue — turning a game win into an opportunity to drive more orders.
Games besides trivia
Go beyond traditional trivia with a complete entertainment lineup designed to keep guests playing throughout their visit.
Buzztime includes Trivia Channel 24/7, Bingo, Poker, and Fantasy Sports, giving your venue multiple ways to entertain customers throughout the week.
