Quizbits - Play quizzes on any topic with friends anywhere

Play with Remote Family

Distance doesn't matter anymore. Play quiz games with family and friends anywhere in the world using Google Meet, Zoom, or FaceTime.

How It Works

Combine Quizbits with any video calling app. Each location plays on their own devices while seeing and hearing each other. The quiz runs simultaneously for everyone!

Pro tip: Each location can also Chromecast to their own TV, creating a true "living room vs living room" experience.

The Setup

Your Living Room

Laptop with video call running

TV showing Quizbits via Chromecast

Everyone plays on their phones

Grandma's House (5,000 miles away)

Tablet with video call running

TV showing Quizbits via Chromecast

Everyone plays on their phones

Video call connects both rooms while quiz runs on everyone's devices

Step-by-Step Setup

Follow these steps to get everyone connected and playing together.

1

Start Your Video Call

Create a meeting in Google Meet, Zoom, or FaceTime and send the link to everyone. Get everyone connected so you can see and hear each other.

Tip: Each household should join from one device (a laptop or tablet works best). Individual phones are for playing the quiz, not the video call.

2

Host Creates the Game

One person acts as the host. They go to quizbits.app/host, select or create a quiz, and start the game room.

Tip: The host can be in any location - they don't need to be physically present with all players.

3

Share the Room Code

The host shares the 6-character room code in the video chat. Everyone goes to quizbits.app/join on their own phone and enters the code.

Tip: Post the code in the chat so people can copy it, or just say it out loud - "The code is ABCD12!"

4

Cast to TVs (Optional but Awesome)

Each location can Chromecast the host's screen to their TV for a big-screen experience. See our Chromecast Guide for setup details.

The magic: Both living rooms see the same questions on their TVs while everyone answers on their phones. It's like being in the same room!

5

Play and Celebrate Together!

The host starts the quiz. Everyone answers on their phones while watching reactions through the video call. Cheer, groan, and celebrate together regardless of distance!

Which Video App Should I Use?

Google Meet

Free for up to 60 minutes. No app needed - works in browser. Great for families already using Google.

Recommended

Zoom

40-minute limit on free plan, but great quality. Most people are familiar with it from work.

Popular choice

FaceTime / WhatsApp

Easy for smaller groups. FaceTime works great for Apple families. WhatsApp is worldwide.

Tips for Success

Test Your Setup First

Do a quick test call 15 minutes before game time. Make sure everyone can hear, see, and connect to WiFi properly.

One Device Per Household for Video

Join the video call from one laptop/tablet per location. Everyone uses their own phones for playing the quiz.

Mute When Not Talking

Background noise from multiple locations can get chaotic. Mute during questions, unmute for reactions and answers.

Mind the Time Zones

If playing internationally, find a time that works for everyone. Use tools like World Time Buddy to find overlap.

Create a Quiz About Your Family

Personal quizzes are the most fun! "Who can identify Grandma's famous recipe?" or "Match the baby photo to the family member."

Keep It Short

Video call fatigue is real. 15-20 questions is perfect. Leave time for catching up and chatting too!

Perfect For...

Long-Distance Grandparents

Keep grandparents connected with grandkids. Weekly quiz nights become a cherished tradition.

International Family Reunions

Cousins in different countries? Turn your annual reunion into a quiz competition across continents.

Remote Team Building

Make virtual team socials actually fun. Create quizzes about your company, team members, or industry.

Virtual Birthday Parties

Can't all be there in person? Create a quiz about the birthday person and celebrate together online.

Ready to Connect?

Start a video call, create your quiz, and bring everyone together - no matter where they are in the world.
