What it is

Trivia Market is rapid multiple choice trivia where every right answer adds to a guest's bankroll, and the leader is offered a chance to spend some of it on a reward.

It is one step in your Rundown, like any other game. Add it where you want it to play.

  1. Open the Rundown tab and press Add.

Set it up

The settings hold your questions, with the answers after bars and a star on the right one, and your offers: the reward, its cost, and the question number it is offered after.

Choose what a right answer is worth, the question timer, and how long the leader has to decide.

The Sounds tab picks the sound effect for each moment of the game.

Answer the question

The question goes up on the TV, and every guest answers on their phone. The first answer a guest gives is the one that counts.

Bankrolls grow

When you reveal, the TV shows the right answer. Each right answer adds to that guest's bankroll, and the fastest right answer earns double.

The offer

After a set number of questions, the leader is offered a reward for part of their bankroll. On the leader's phone, Buy takes the cost out of the bankroll and puts the reward on their card, and Pass keeps the bankroll as it is. Everyone else watches.
