Wipeout
A ladder that gets harder as you climb, and a pot that grows with every right answer. Bank it and you keep it. Push on, and one wrong answer takes the lot. It's the only round where somebody losing badly can win the whole night back.
An independent Welsh quiz game
The pub quiz moves into your living room.
It runs on your own computer and puts the questions on the telly. Everyone else plays on the phone already in their pocket. Nothing for them to install, no accounts for anybody, and it keeps working when the broadband doesn't.

Twelve kinds of round, so nobody drifts off
A night of nothing but multiple choice dies somewhere around round three. This one keeps changing what everybody is actually doing — betting, drawing, lying, gambling. Every round puts its rules on the screen before the clock starts, so nobody loses points working out how it works.
Slow Reveal
An image uncovers a block at a time. An early guess is worth many times a late one.
Lie Detector
Everyone writes a convincing lie, then hunts for the truth among their friends' nonsense. Points for spotting it, points for fooling people.
Odd One Out
Three belong together and one doesn't — rarely for the reason you'd expect. The explanation afterwards starts most of the arguments.
Real or Fake
Is Crackpot a genuine Yorkshire village? Is that a real paint colour? Two options and no time to think.
Before or After
Were mammoths still alive when the Great Pyramid went up? They were.
Hi-Lo
Higher or lower. Nobody can revise for it, which levels the table nicely.
Horse Race
Back a runner with your own points. Places pay out too — or sit it out and risk nothing at all.
Wager
Decide how much to stake before you see the question. Regret it immediately afterwards.
Hot Potato
Tap to pass it on. Whoever's holding it when it goes off loses points and dignity together.
Draw It
Sketch the prompt on your phone, then everyone votes. You can't vote for your own, sadly.
Guess the Number
No options at all. Type a number and hope you land nearest.
Name That Tune
First to recognise it takes the most. Use your own music if you'd rather.
Fill in the Blank
Finish the sentence. The funniest answer wins the vote, not the most accurate one.
It runs on your machine, and that turns out to matter
Most quiz apps live in somebody else's cloud and want an account from every guest before anyone can answer a single question. This one doesn't, for reasons that show up on the night rather than on a feature list.
The broadband can fall over
Everything happens across your own wifi. If the internet drops halfway through round four, the quiz carries on and nobody notices. You only need a connection to buy packs.
Nobody signs up for anything
Your guests scan a code, type a name and play. No email addresses, no passwords, no data collected about anyone in the room. Your mother-in-law will manage it unaided.
You buy it once
There is no subscription and there won't be one. Packs you buy are yours, they keep working, and updates to them cost nothing.
You can write your own
A pack editor comes with the game. Write questions, add your own photographs for the picture round, build Wipeout ladders, drop in your own sound effects. A round about your own family beats anything we could write for you.
The big screen asks. The phones answer.
Scores, streaks, and a season table that remembers across games.
Setting a night up takes about a minute
Start it on your PC
One button. The big screen opens on its own — cast it to the telly if you can, or just turn the laptop round.
Everyone scans the code
A QR code goes up. Guests scan it, type a name, pick a daft avatar. They're in before the kettle has boiled.
Choose the packs and go
Players vote for the subjects they fancy. You press start, and it runs the whole night — questions, rounds, scoring and the mickey-taking.
Play four full nights before you spend anything
Not a crippled demo. Four complete quiz nights with every round type and every free pack unlocked. If it doesn't land with your lot, you've lost nothing but the download.

Who makes this
QuizNight is built by Allan Harvey, a computer engineer in Wales, and it's one of several things under the Welsh Celtic name. That background is the reason it works the way it does: it runs on your own hardware, on your own network, with no account system and no cloud service behind it that could disappear or start charging monthly.
You buy it once and it's yours. Packs are written by hand, checked, and rewritten when they aren't good enough — nothing is scraped, and nothing is padded out with questions that insult the person answering them. When something breaks, it gets fixed and shipped, usually within the week.

Before you download it
Do my guests need to install anything?
No. They scan the QR code and play in whatever browser is already on their phone. iPhone, Android, an old tablet, a laptop — it all works.
Does it need the internet?
Not to play. The game runs across your own wifi, so a broadband wobble mid-round doesn't touch it. You only need a connection to buy or download packs.
What actually happens in a round of Wipeout?
You climb a ladder of questions that get harder as you go. Every right answer adds to a pot that isn't yours yet — bank it whenever you like and it's safe, or keep going for more. One wrong answer before you bank and the whole pot's gone. Watching somebody decide is better than watching them answer.
How many people can play?
A living room full, comfortably. It's built for a house party and a family gathering, not a stadium.
Can I write my own questions?
Yes, and people do. The pack editor comes with the game: write questions, add your own photographs for the picture round, build Wipeout ladders and Odd One Out sets, then drop the file in. A round about your own family is unbeatable.
Is it all right for children?
Yes. There's a pack written for 10 and 11 year olds that adults genuinely struggle with, and an age gate that automatically hides adult packs the moment a younger player joins the room.
How do I buy the £9.99 option?
Pick whichever pack appeals to you first. Every pack has two buttons: buy it with QuizNight for £9.99, which unlocks the full game and that pack together, or buy the pack on its own if you already own the game. Choose the first and that's it — there's nothing else to pay, ever.
Which pack should I start with?
Whichever suits your crowd, because they all cost the same as a first purchase. The price only varies on packs you add later. If you're stuck, a general knowledge pack suits a mixed room best.
