Nightcap is a trivia game show that runs itself: a host with real personality, hundreds of ready-to-play nights, and players who join right from their phones. Set it up in five minutes, then just pour.
Runs on the smart TV and speakers you already have. No app for players to download.
▶ Real gameplay on the bar screen · tap for sound 🔊
No app · No hardware · No staff to run it · Just a great trivia night
This is what sets Nightcap apart. Your host isn't a flat voice reading a list. It's a character with timing and charm that learns the room, drops team names into the jokes, hypes the comebacks, and milks every reveal for drama. Same face and voice every week, so your regulars start quoting them.
If your TV has a web browser, you're ready. That's the whole setup.
Browse to nightcaptrivia.com on the bar's smart TV and press start.
A QR code hits the screen. Everyone joins on their phone and names their team.
Questions, countdowns, reveals, scores and winners, all run for you, out loud.
No app, no sign-ups, no fuss. Guests scan the code, pick a team name, and answer from their phones while the big screen keeps the whole room in the game. It's built to be dead-simple for a crowd that's three drinks in and here to have fun.
Sign up and there's already months of fresh trivia queued. Never write a question, never repeat a night.
Uses the screen and speakers you already have. No tablets, no buzzers, nothing to buy or store.
Add your bar's name and logo, and drop tonight's specials into the breaks for the host to plug.
From sign-up to your first question is about five minutes. Any staff member can start the show.
Give people a reason to come in on a Tuesday and stay for one more round. That's the whole idea.
