Here's a quick guide on best practices when running a Trivia Game
What type of game should you choose?
For Trivia games, you can choose between:
Quiz — a traditional question-by-question Trivia experience.
Bingo — players answer Trivia questions while making progress toward Bingo patterns.
Category Clash — players choose questions from a board of categories and point values.
These are different experiences within the same Trivia game.
If you want players to answer questions together at the same time with a host controlling the experience, use Live Trivia.
If you want players to play independently at their own pace, use a current Trivia game and choose the experience that works best for your event.

Playing on different devices
Trivia is responsive and can be played from phones, tablets, and computers using the same player experience.
You don't need to choose between separate Mobile/Web and Tablet/iPad Kiosk versions when creating a Trivia game.
Older Trivia games may still use Legacy device-specific workflows. Those games will continue to work as originally configured.
Are you collecting Data?
What type of information are you capturing from players? Navigate to Trivia Home and click the Edit button on your game to find your Login Mode settings. Here's what you should take into consideration:
Is it a casual game? You'll want to collect Names only and disable Lead Capture
Do you want to gather contact information? Choose Lead Capture
Giving access to your players
How are players accessing the game?
Trivia is responsive, so players can use the same game experience on supported phones, tablets, and computers.
You can give players access by:
sharing the player link;
displaying or printing the game QR code;
opening the player link on a tablet or kiosk-style device at your booth.
You do not need to create separate Mobile/Web and Tablet/iPad versions of a current Trivia game.
For more information, see Using Trivia on phones, tablets, and computers.
Legacy Trivia
Legacy Trivia games may still use separate Mobile/Web and Tablet/iPad Kiosk options.
If you are working with an existing Legacy Trivia game, see the Trivia (Legacy) documentation.Displaying the Leaderboard
