What is Squad Quiz?
Squad Quiz is a free pass-and-play trivia game for 2 to 5 squads (teams) sharing one screen. Squads take turns picking numbered tiles and answering timed multiple-choice questions. The fastest correct answers score the most.
Is Squad Quiz free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no accounts, no ads and no downloads. It runs in any modern browser.
How many people can play?
Any number of people, split into 2 to 5 squads (teams). Squads can be any size: four players or forty.
Do players need their own phones?
No. Everyone plays on one shared screen and passes it around, or shouts answers to whoever is tapping.
What devices does it work on?
Any modern browser on a laptop, desktop, tablet, phone or a TV with a browser. On phones and tablets you can add it to your home screen for fullscreen play.
Can I make my own quiz?
Yes. On the squad setup screen choose Upload JSON and pick a file with at least 3 questions. Each question has 2–4 options and a zero-based answer index:
{
"id": "my-party-quiz",
"title": "My Party Quiz",
"questions": [
{
"id": "q1",
"text": "Which planet is known as the Red Planet?",
"options": ["Venus", "Mars", "Jupiter", "Mercury"],
"answer": 1,
"explanation": "Iron oxide gives Mars its red colour."
}
]
}
Uploaded quizzes are saved on your device only.
How does scoring work?
Correct answers score between 100 and 1,000 points by default, and the faster the answer, the higher the score. Wrong answers and timeouts score zero unless you set a penalty. See how to play for details.
Is it good for game night, parties and hangouts?
Yes, that's what it's for: game nights, parties, hangouts, family gatherings, classrooms and office socials. There are Halloween and Christmas skins for seasonal parties. See game night ideas.
Is my data private?
Yes. Settings, uploaded quizzes and in-progress rounds are stored only in your browser. There are no accounts and no server.
