Live trivia vs host-controlled boards

Pick the one that matches the room.

Option A

Host-controlled board

  • One big screen, one host, room plays out loud
  • No phones needed — best for in-person rooms
  • Jeopardy style 5x5 board format
  • Host decides who answered first
Option B

Live trivia room

  • Each player joins from their own device with a code
  • Built for remote, hybrid and mixed-location groups
  • Real-time scoring and live leaderboard
  • Speed-based bonuses keep the energy up

When to use live trivia

🌐
Anyone is remote
If even one player is calling in, live mode beats the shared screen.
📈
Individual scores matter
Tournaments, classrooms, sales SPIFFs — give each person their own number.
👥
Big crowd
Anything past ~10 players, room codes scale better than "who shouted first".
📺
Streaming or recording
Audience can watch the leaderboard without joining; players join with the code.

Frequently asked questions

+How do players join the room?

You create a room and get a 4-letter code. Players go to kleveroo.com/join, type the code, enter a name, and they're in. No app, no install, works on phones, laptops, tablets — anything with a browser.

+How many players can join one room?

Rooms work great with anywhere from 2 to a few hundred. The leaderboard, scoring and timing all stay snappy at large sizes.

+Does everyone need decent internet?

Each player needs a normal connection — same as joining a video call. The host needs slightly better since they're broadcasting state.

+Can I see who's winning in real time?

Yes. Live leaderboard updates after every question. You can show it on the host screen between rounds for maximum drama.

+What's the difference between live trivia and a hosted board?

A hosted board is one screen, one host, the room playing along. Live trivia is a room everyone joins from their own device with a code — better for remote groups, mixed-location families and any time "each player needs their own answer" matters.

+Can I use my own questions in live trivia?

Yes. Live trivia rooms can run featured trivia categories, AI-generated content, or boards you've built yourself.
