How it works
Pick a game, pair the screen, and the room plays.
Choose what to play, put it on the big screen and let everyone join from their own device. You move it on one step at a time.

Choose a pack
Start with a ready-made starter pack, or write your own rounds with pictures and sound, or import a spreadsheet of questions.

Everyone joins in
Guests scan the QR code or type the game code on their own phone or computer. No app and no sign-up.
The games
Five ways to fill the room.
Mix them in one night or build a whole evening around one. Every game goes up on the big screen and plays on every device in the room.
Trivia
Quick-fire questions on the big screen, answered on every phone and computer. Points for being right, a little extra for being quick.
- Multiple choice, true or false, or type the answer
- Picture and sound questions
- A tiebreak question when the top spot is shared
For the host
Calm behind the bar. Loud on the screen.
Everything players see is big, clear and fair. Everything the host does is one step at a time, from a phone, a tablet or the admin.
Hosting
Run it from your phone
One big button moves the game on. Players, scores and the screen are a tap away, and a tablet or laptop works just as well.
Packs
Write your own rounds
Multiple choice, true or false and typed answers, with points, a time limit and a bonus for speed. Import a spreadsheet to start faster.
Media
Pictures and sound
Add a picture or a sound clip to a question for a picture round or a music round, straight from your media library.
Teams
Play alone or as a table
Players start a team or join one as they arrive. The captain answers for the table and everyone else follows along.
Results
Every answer, kept
Final standings, how each question went and the full score history, with corrections when a mark needs fixing.
Reports
See what each night did
Games held, players, formats and answer times for every outlet, ready to export when the owner asks.
On every screen
The big screen, the phones and the laptops too.
The TV shows the room what to play. Players answer on whatever they brought with them, and nobody installs a thing.
The big screen
Open the display page on a smart TV, a projector or a laptop plugged into one, and pair it with the code it shows.
Phones
Players scan the QR code or go to play.cornybits.com and type the code. A dropped connection keeps their place.
Computers
Laptops and desktops get a full-size layout and answer with the keyboard, which suits a function room or a team social.
Who it’s for
From quiz night to the year-end function.
Built for the venues that host the night: the regulars on a Thursday, and the private bookings on a Saturday.
Bars and pubs
Turn a quiet midweek into the night everyone plans around.
Venue groups
Every outlet with its own hosts and games, all under one organisation and one set of reports.
Functions and events
Year-end functions, team socials and private bookings, with guests on their phones or on laptops when the room has them.

Questions
Questions, answered.
No. CornyBits runs in the browser on any phone or computer. Players scan the QR code on the screen or type the game code, and play under a display name for that game.
A CornyBits organisation, a TV or projector with a web browser, and a phone, tablet or laptop to host from. Players use their own phones, or the computers in the room.
They open the game again on the same phone and browser, or scan the code again, and carry on as the same player with their answers and score. The game keeps time on its own clock, so a question that closes while they are away is missed.
The game lives on the CornyBits server, not on your device. Open the host controls on another device and take over. Only one device controls a game at a time, and timers keep running while you switch.
Yes. Offensive names are refused as players join, and you can rename, remove or ban anyone. Captions and player quotes wait for your approval before anyone else sees them.
Yes. Build packs in the editor, add pictures and sound clips, or import questions you already have in a spreadsheet. Ready-made starter packs are there for your first night.
