How a quiz night with Huzzah works

  1. Write your rounds

    You see each question as the room will while you write it.

  2. Plug the laptop into the TV

    Press Go live and the quiz opens in its own window for the TV.

  3. Reveal and score

    Show the answer with one key, then tick the teams that got it right.

Your laptop is backstage. The TV is the show.

The host's screen as the night starts: the title card on the TV, a welcome in the notes, Round 1 up next and both teams on 0.
BackstageYour notes, what comes next and the score. Nobody else sees this screen.
The TV showing the quiz's title card: Friday pub quiz.

Write a question

Type the question and drop the picture in. The preview beside it shows exactly what the TV will.

A picture question being written: which continent faces the Moon, a photograph of the Earth rising over the Moon, the answer Africa, beside the preview of the TV.

Thirteen kinds of question.

  • Open question

  • Multiple choice

  • Picture question

And audio question, YouTube clip, act it out, word puzzle, picture puzzle, picture gallery, find the keywords, closest number, who am I and finish the line.

Start from a pub quiz: 3 rounds and a tiebreak laid out, the questions yours to write.

Nine of them are in the sample quiz: host it on your own TV, no account.

Broadcast

Look up together.

One laptop, one big screen and a room watching it. Nobody needs a phone, an app or a code to join, and nobody is looking down.

Plug the TV in as a second screen and Go live can put the show straight on it.

The TV on the wall between rounds: the standings after round three, The Quizzly Bears of Hackney first on 30 and Table Four second on 20.
The host's laptop on the table in front of it: the same standings, with Next round ready and Round 4 up next.
Backstage

Your screen during a question.

The presenter's screen on the last question of round three: the question on the TV, the answer and a note only the host sees, the standings up next, Reveal answer and a tile per team.
  1. On the TVWhat the room is looking at, as they see it.

One press on the laptop. One change on the TV.

  1. Reveal the answer

    One press on Space and the answer is up on the TV, for every table at once.

    The TV with the photograph of the Earth and the answer, Africa, lit green under it.

  2. Score as you go

    Nobody keeps the tally on paper: tick the team that got it, and their total on the TV counts up.

    The TV's score bar: Table Four 10, The Quizzly Bears of Hackney 20.

For when the night does not go to plan.

  • The builder's status, reading Saved.

    It saves as you go

    Every change is saved a moment after you stop typing, and undo is one press away.

  • The green room's buttons: Resume from Q 12, and Start again.

    It picks up where you stopped

    Leave a show halfway and Go live comes back as Resume, from the question you were on.

  • The presenter's notes: One heart for the body and one for each gill. Expect a team to say eight.

    Your notes stay yours

    Answers and notes are on the laptop only. The TV never shows them.

  • Fair colours. Six team colours at one brightness, so no team looks like the favourite.
  • Nothing to install. It runs in the browser on your laptop, and the TV shows its second window.
  • One host, every call. Nothing scores itself: you decide who got it, and you can undo it.
