Host your first live quiz

Open the host screen, add a few questions, and leave the game code on screen. Players join on their phones, and you start when everyone’s in.

You don’t need an account to host, and players don’t need one to play.

  1. 1

    Open the host screen

    On quizzy.earth, tap Host a game. A new game opens with its own game code and QR code.

  2. 2

    Start adding questions

    Tap Questions in the panel above Start game, then Add questions.

  3. 3

    Choose how to add questions

    Pick Write your own, or From a category for ready-made ones. Generate with AI and Generate from YouTube need Host Pro, Education or an Event Pass.

  4. 4

    Write a question

    Type it in Your Question, fill in the options, and tap the correct one.

  5. 5

    Add it to the quiz

    Tap Add Question. Repeat for each question, then tap Done.

  6. 6

    Let players join

    Leave the game code and QR code on screen. Players scan the QR code, or type the code at quizzy.earth. See How players join.

  7. 7

    Start the game

    When everyone’s in, tap Start game.

No questions yet? You can still tap Start game. Players write the questions on their phones first.

Player limit

PRO

Up to 10 players on the free plan and 50 on Host Pro. An Event Pass removes the limit for 4 days. Anyone over the limit sees Game Full. Compare plans.

Can players join after the game starts?

Yes, in a Classic game. A Knockout game locks its player list at the start, so latecomers watch instead.

How do I use the same quiz again?

Sign in, open Questions and tap Save this quiz to reuse later. Next time, pick it from Saved quizzes there. While your quiz has no questions, it’s under Add questions too.

Can I switch to another tab during the game?

Yes. The game keeps running while you use another tab or window, so you can open your slides or notes. The timer keeps counting and players stay connected. Just don’t close the Quizzy tab.

Will my screen lock while I host?

No. From the lobby to the final results, Quizzy keeps your screen on, whether you host on a phone, tablet or computer. There’s nothing to turn on. Once you leave the game, it locks as usual again.

Can I write a quiz in Arabic or Hebrew?

Yes. Questions and answers in right-to-left languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu, read and line up from the right during the game and in your reports, even when the rest of Quizzy is in English. While you type them into the question box, they still start on the left.
