Why TV games work in a pub
Everyone has a phone in their pocket: one QR code on the TV and every table is playing together, with no app and nothing to hand out. Tables take each other on, the leaderboard shows between rounds, and you start or stop a game whenever you like.
6 nights you can run
Every game launches from the same account, and you can play several in one evening.
- A music quiz: 80s, 90s or 2000s, with ready-made playlists
- The Thursday quiz: a new theme every week, created in one sentence
- Giant Categories: one letter, a few categories, the whole room writing at once
- Draw Guessr: everyone draws, then guesses each other's doodles
- GeoLoc: find the city on the map, closest pin wins
- A theme night (St Patrick's, the pub's birthday, a big match) with a custom quiz and playlist
A weekly fixture
A games night catches on when it comes back at the same time: Tuesday's music quiz, Thursday's pub quiz. Regulars come back for the rematch and bring their friends.
Who runs the night?
You, a member of staff or a quiz host you book: Unboared shows the questions, plays the music and keeps score, and whoever's on the mic sets the pace. You can also run everything from a phone, behind the bar.
Ready in 2 minutes. Really.
