Companion app
Put the quiz on the big screen
Quizzy TV shows the question, the timer and the leaderboard on your television while everyone — the host included — answers from their own phone. No more crowding around a laptop, and no more host holding a screen that spoils every answer.
Free on Google Play for Android TV and Google TV. No account, no ads, no in-app purchases. An Apple TV build hasn't shipped yet.
Why a TV app
It fixes the last screen problem
The host stops being the screen
Without a TV, somebody has to hold the host device — and that device shows the correct answer. Quizzy TV moves the shared view onto the television, so the host can sit down, play along on their phone, and stop guarding a screen.
Everyone reads the same question
The question and its options render at TV size, with the countdown running where the whole room can see it. Phones become what they're good at: a private answer pad.
Nothing new to learn
It's the same Quizzy game with the same quizzes, templates and modes — Knockout included. The TV is a second screen for a game you already know how to run, not a separate product.
Optional, always
Quizzy works completely in the browser without it. The app adds a big screen when you have one; nothing breaks when you don't, and no one in the room needs to install anything.
Setup
Paired in under a minute
Install Quizzy TV on the television
Find it on Google Play from the TV itself, or install it remotely from the Play listing on your phone. It runs on Android TV and Google TV devices.
Open the app and read the six-letter code
Quizzy TV shows a pairing code on screen — six letters, no digits. It's only used to link the TV to your host session.
Enter that code on your phone
Start a game at quizzy.earth as usual, open the TV connection control in the host screen, and type the six letters. The TV picks up the game immediately.
Share the join code and play
Players scan the QR or type the 8-digit game code on their own phones. From then on the TV carries the question, timer and leaderboard while every answer arrives from a phone.
Getting the most from it
Notes from real rooms
- Keep the TV and the host phone on the same Wi-Fi — pairing is quickest when both are on the same network.
- The host can now play. Once the TV owns the shared view, there's no reason for the person running the quiz to sit out.
- Knockout Mode reads especially well on a TV: the standings rail is legible from the sofa, so the room can watch itself thin out.
- Pick a theme before you start. Quizzy's themes apply to the TV view too, which matters more at 55 inches than on a phone.
- No TV? Casting a browser tab or plugging in HDMI still works. The app is nicer because it's built for a remote and a ten-foot viewing distance, but it isn't required.
