Features

Everything you need to run a great quiz

No setup, no downloads, no fuss. Just questions, a big screen and a room full of phones.

Join in seconds

Players type a 6-digit PIN or scan the QR code. No app, no sign-up, no email address. Late arrivals can still jump in.

Speed points and streaks

Right answers score more the faster they come in, with a bonus for answers in a row. Double-points rounds raise the stakes.

Live results on screen

After each question the room sees how everyone answered, then a leaderboard. The game ends on a podium for the top three.

In the room or remote

The question shows on every phone too, so it works just as well on a video call as it does in a lecture theatre.

Questions

Good to know

Is QuickFire really free?

Yes. QuickFire is free while it’s in beta, with no card needed. If we ever add paid plans we’ll tell hosts first, and you’ll never be charged unless you choose to pay.

Do players need an app or an account?

No. Players open quiz.student-tech.com in any web browser, type the PIN (or scan the QR code) and pick a nickname. Only the host needs an account.

How many people can play at once?

Up to 500 players in one game, which is enough for a full lecture theatre or a company all-hands.

Can we play over Teams or Zoom?

Yes. Share your screen as the big screen. The question and answers also show on every player’s phone, so nobody has to squint at a shared screen.

What happens if someone’s signal drops?

They just open the page again. Their phone remembers their seat, so they rejoin as the same player with their score kept.

Is it suitable for schools?

Players only give a nickname, rude names are blocked, and the host can remove anyone or lock the game. Nothing is shown to advertisers and results are deleted after 90 days. Read our privacy notice.
