BarParty gives your venue everything it needs to run a packed trivia night: questions written for you, a big-screen show for your TVs, and a host controller that fits in your pocket. Guests just scan and play — no app required.

How it works
No trivia company to book, no questions to write, no answer sheets to tally at the end of the night.
Pick a theme, length, and difficulty and BarParty writes the questions — or roll your own. Preview everything and re-roll anything you don’t love.
Open BarParty on any TV or projector, enter a pairing code, and your show is live — with a giant QR code inviting the room to play.
Teams join from their phones in seconds with a team name and photo. No app to download, no account, no pens and paper.
Start rounds, reveal answers, and bring up the leaderboard with a tap. Scoring happens automatically, so you can focus on the crowd.
Features
BarParty handles the hard parts of trivia so you and your staff can do what you do best: keep the room having a good time.
Choose from a curated question library or ask for a custom theme — '90s cartoons, space & sci-fi, your hometown teams. Swap any question you don’t like, and BarParty keeps track of what you’ve played so your regulars never get repeats.
Mix formats to keep every round fresh.
Multiple-choice answers score themselves. Typed answers are matched automatically, and close calls land on your phone for a one-tap decision.
Bold visuals built for a loud, dim room: questions, countdowns, answer reveals, and leaderboards, with your logo front and center.
Every night ends with quick feedback and an opt-in sign-up, so you can invite the whole room back next week.
Add managers and hosts with exactly the permissions they need, venue by venue. Whether you run one bar or twenty, everything lives in one account, and access disappears the moment someone moves on.
Why BarParty
Trivia is one of the best ways to fill a room on a weeknight. BarParty makes it something you can run every single week — without the busywork.
Turn a quiet Tuesday into a room full of teams who show up early, stay late, and order another round.
No outside host to book or schedule around. Your team gets questions, scoring, and a big-screen show — all run from a phone.
Leaderboards, bragging rights, and a guest list you own turn first-timers into regulars who come back to defend their title.
