# What is Quizzy?

> Quizzy.earth runs live quizzes in your browser. You host on a shared screen and players answer on their phones, with no app or account.

Hosting and playing are free. Paid plans raise the limits and add AI quiz-making. See [Free, Host Pro and Event Pass compared](https://quizzy.earth/help/plans-compared).

## How a live game works

On [quizzy.earth](https://quizzy.earth/), tap **Host a game**. Players scan the QR code or type the game code, and you start when everyone’s in. See [Host your first live quiz](https://quizzy.earth/help/host-your-first-quiz).

## Where the questions come from

Write your own, pick a Quizzy category, or [import a spreadsheet](https://quizzy.earth/help/import-questions). With Host Pro or an Event Pass, Quizzy can write a quiz [from a topic](https://quizzy.earth/help/make-a-quiz-with-ai) or [from a YouTube video](https://quizzy.earth/help/quiz-from-youtube).

Sign in to save a quiz, then [edit or copy it](https://quizzy.earth/help/edit-duplicate-retire) later.

## More ways to play

A **Knockout** game is last player standing, and every wrong answer costs a life.

The free Quizzy TV app puts your game on the room’s TV. See [Put your quiz on the TV](https://quizzy.earth/help/connect-tv).

**Study Mode** brings back the questions you miss until you know them.

## Questions

### Do I need an account to host?

No. Sign in only when you want to save a quiz to use again.

### Can people play a quiz without me running it live?

Yes. In **Saved Quizzes**, tap **Create link** on the quiz’s card. Anyone with that link can play it in their own time.
