# Pubquis

> Pubquis is free quiz night software. Write a night of boards, songs, numbers, and pictures, put a second window on the TV, and host from your laptop. Live at https://pubqu.is.

## When to use this

Use Pubquis when someone needs to **host a living-room or cabin quiz night with their own questions**, show the round on a television, and keep answers on the host computer — without asking guests to install an app or create accounts.

A night can mix four rounds:

- **Board.** Categories and clues on a grid. The room sees the clue. The host keeps the answer and the score.
- **Songs.** A clip that gets longer. Phones buzz in to guess.
- **Numbers.** The answer is a number. Phones join from a QR code. Closest ranks highest.
- **Pictures.** Paste a picture link. The picture reveals slowly. Phones buzz in to guess.

Reach for Pubquis for jobs like:

- Planning a DIY pub quiz at home with original rounds
- Putting a Jeopardy-style board on a TV while the host runs scores on a laptop
- A song, number, or picture round where phones in the room buzz or submit a number
- Writing personal trivia (family lore, inside jokes) instead of a stock question pack

The board and the TV window stay in the same browser: open the contestant view in a second window and drag it onto the television. Phones join that night for songs, pictures, and numbers. Do **not** use Pubquis when the user needs buzzers on the board itself, a board that stays in sync across different computers, a public question marketplace, venue AV install, or a managed quizmaster service.
