A family quiz every age can play
Questions the seven-year-old and the grandparents can both have a go at, the answers kept for you, and a way to run it: the questions on the TV, each person answering on their own phone, and a podium at the end.
How it works
- 1
Start with the round below
Ten questions for the whole table, easy ones and harder ones mixed. Host them as they are, or ask for a round on animals, films, football or whatever your family argues about.
- 2
Mix in your own people
Add a question only your family can answer — a baby photo on the screen, the name of the first family dog — and split the quiz into rounds with their own names.
- 3
Put it on the TV
The PIN goes on the screen, everyone joins from their own phone, and the scores are kept for you. The little ones can share a phone with a grown-up.
One quiz, every age at the table
A family quiz has a problem a pub quiz does not: a six-year-old and a sixty-year-old are playing the same game. Everyone answering on their own phone helps more than it sounds — nobody has to read the questions aloud, nobody can see what anyone else pressed, and a quick right answer scores more than a slow one, so the youngest can beat the oldest on the easy questions.
Mix the difficulty on purpose: an animal question, a film question, a number to guess, a map to tap. A slider question gives points for being close, which keeps a child in the game on a question they could not have known exactly.
Family who live somewhere else
For the cousins abroad or the grandparents two hours away, open an online room instead of a screen in the living room. Everyone plays from their own place, the whole game on their phone — the question, the clock, the answer and their place — and you all finish on the same podium.
Or send the quiz as a link with a deadline and let each household play it in their own time; you see every name and score afterwards.
Questions only your family can answer
The round people remember is the one about themselves: who got lost at the zoo, which uncle supports which team, whose wedding the photo on the screen is from. Write those in the builder with a picture, mix them in with the general rounds, and check every answer the AI wrote before the night — trivia is exactly where it can be confidently wrong.
A family round to try
Ten questions for every age at the table — animals and planets for the children, a number to guess, animals to sort by size, a country to find on the map and a couple for the grown-ups. Play it here, or put the whole round on a big screen in one press and change anything first.
1.How many legs does a spider have?
- ASix
- BEight
- CTen
- DTwelve
Show the answer
Eight. Spiders have eight legs. Insects, like ants and beetles, have six.
2.Which planet is known as the Red Planet?
- AVenus
- BMars
- CJupiter
- DSaturn
Show the answer
Mars. Mars looks red because its surface is covered in rusty iron-rich dust.
3.A tomato is a fruit.
True or false?
Show the answer
True. To a botanist a tomato is a fruit: it grows from the flower and holds the seeds. Cooks treat it as a vegetable.
4.Put these animals in order of size, smallest first.
Put in order: Cat · Elephant · Horse · Mouse
Show the answer
Mouse → Cat → Horse → Elephant. A mouse fits in a hand, a cat on a lap, a horse carries a rider, and an African elephant is the largest land animal alive.
5.How many bones are there in an adult human body?
Guess the number (between 100 and 400).
Show the answer
206. An adult has 206 bones. A baby is born with around 300, and many of them fuse together as the child grows.
6.What is the largest animal that has ever lived?
- AThe African elephant
- BThe blue whale
- CThe giraffe
- DTyrannosaurus rex
Show the answer
The blue whale. The blue whale can reach about 30 metres and 150 tonnes — bigger than any dinosaur we know of.
7.The three primary colours of paint are red, _____ and yellow.
Words to choose from: blue · green · orange · pink · purple
Show the answer
blue. Red, blue and yellow are the painter’s primary colours: mixed in pairs they make orange, green and purple.
8.In which country would you find the Eiffel Tower?
Find it on the map.
Show the answer
France. The Eiffel Tower stands in Paris, the capital of France. It was built for the World’s Fair of 1889.
9.How many strings does a standard guitar have?

What ages is this for?
The round below mixes easy questions for children of about seven and up with harder ones for the grown-ups. A younger child can share a phone with an adult, and you can write your own round for any age in the builder.
Can family in another country play?
Yes. Open an online room and everyone plays from their own phone wherever they are; each phone shows the whole game, so nobody needs to see the TV. Or send the quiz as a link to play by a deadline.

Yes. Add your own questions in the builder, with a photo if you like, and mix them with the rounds the AI writes about anything else.
