How Trivia works

Phones for players. TV for the room. Trivia runs itself.

Tech Town Tavern Trivia uses one consistent Countdown format: three five-question rounds, progressive clues, and scoring that rewards players for answering before the clues make the question easier.

Round structure

3 × 5

Three themed categories per game with five questions in each round.

Progressive clues

Three chances to learn more

The first two clues eliminate different wrong answers. The final clue strongly points toward the correct answer.

Scoring

Confidence has value

Waiting makes the question easier, but the point value falls as the countdown continues.

Venue automation

Choose the behavior that fits the room.

Continuous

Automatically rotate eligible games during the venue’s configured operating hours.

On-demand

Wait until the configured player threshold is reached, then start automatically.

Scheduled

Use venue-managed start times when you want predictable game windows.

TV options

Use the display hardware that makes sense for your venue.

Use your existing system

If your TVs, digital-signage player, smart-TV browser or other display system can reliably open a website full-screen, use it directly. Keep the display open and it follows the automated game state.

Add a simple TV connection

If the TV needs a simple way to get online, compatible display hardware can be added as an optional setup item.

What the room sees

Two synchronized player-facing surfaces

Player phones handle private answers and score feedback. The TV handles questions, timers, clue moments, lead changes, rankings, breaks and sponsor inventory. Venue managers configure applications and schedules separately, and the automation controller runs the game flow.
