Trivia Time

Show questions live on the big screen or over Zoom. Hundreds of players can use their phones to play along, top 20 scores show up on the leaderboard. The game comes with over 200 questions built in, but it is easy to make new questions right inside the game, or import/export questions to share. Customize the look, import questions, and the game calculates all the scores. This has to be the fastest, easiest, most fun way to play trivia.    TUTORIAL This video dives in deep to show you everything you need to know to setup and host TriviaTime.     GAMES SCREEN   CONTROL SCREEN 1.

I will read the question then show the 4 possible answers, you will see all this on your phone. You will have 10 sec to answer, the faster you answer the more points you get. But if you get it wrong... you will loose those points.
