Try one.

Three questions, just as they look on a player’s phone. In a real game the quiz master reads each one out, then opens the answers.
Faster right answers score more, from 500 to 1,000 points
A fun fact to read out after every answer
Scores stay secret until the podium
Question 1 of 3
Sample quiz

Which is the longest river in the UK?

Tap an answer. In a real game, faster right answers score more.
2 · The bit nobody else does

Nobody knows who’s winning. Until the end.

There’s no leaderboard during the game. Each player sees only whether their own answer was right, so nobody gives up halfway and the last question can still change everything. At the end, you reveal the podium one tap at a time.
3 · Four steps

Before you host

Do players need to download an app?

No. Players join in the web browser on their phone by scanning a QR code or typing a 5-letter code at instaquiz.app. They never make an account or give an email address.

How many people can play?

Up to 8 phones for free, and each phone can be a team. The £5 party pass, planned for January 2027, raises that to 50 phones in one game. Playing in teams with one phone each stretches that a long way: 8 phones covers about 40 people.

Why are the scores hidden?

So the ending is a surprise. Each player sees whether their own answer was right, but nobody sees the standings until you reveal the podium: third, then second, then the winner.

Do I need a TV?

No. You can run the whole quiz from your phone and read the questions out. If you want a big screen, open instaquiz.app/tv on a smart TV browser or a laptop and connect it from your phone.

Is it a subscription?

No. The party pass is a one-off £5. It lasts 48 hours from the start of your first game and does not renew.

What do you keep about players?

Very little. Players sign in anonymously and never give an email address. They pick a name for the game, and their private results are cleared from their phone when they leave.
