Why pub hosts look past SpeedQuizzing
SpeedQuizzing helped popularise the live, host-led speed quiz in UK pubs and bars, and it is a well-loved format. But it is an app your players have to install, and its content is sold as paid quiz packs — so a regular quiz night adds up, and you are mostly running someone else’s questions. Qwiz Rush keeps the fast, competitive speed-quiz feel and removes both hurdles: it is free to host with no per-quiz fees, and your crowd joins by code in a browser with nothing to download.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to buy quiz packs to host?
No. Hosting Qwiz Rush is free with no per-quiz fees, and you can write your own rounds with AI generation. SpeedQuizzing sells content as paid quiz packs, so check their site for current pricing.
Do players need to download an app?
No. Players join by entering a short game code in a browser on any device — phone, tablet or laptop — with no app and no account required by default. SpeedQuizzing is app-based, which is one of the main reasons pub hosts look for an alternative.
Is Qwiz Rush a proper speed quiz for a pub?
Yes. Every question runs on a synchronized 10-second countdown, the answer is revealed straight after, and a timing bonus rewards the fastest correct answers, so the fast-and-competitive feel of a live speed quiz is built into the core loop.
Can I run it on the big screen at the venue?
Yes. You host from any screen and show the question and live leaderboard on a projector or big screen, and there is Chromecast/TV support to cast it to a television. Scoring is server-authoritative with anti-cheat, so the results on the screen are trustworthy.
How many teams can join a quiz night?
There is no fixed player cap to host, so a small back-room crowd or a packed venue both work on the same free game. Players just enter the code on their own device to get started.
