The 7 Round Types

Speed: Time pressure. Faster correct answers score more points.

Music: Audio plays, players name the song or artist.

Picture: Image-based questions, identify what's shown.

Wager: Players bet points before answering. Bet more, gain more if right, lose more if wrong.

Pressure: Shrinking timer. Tense.

Recommended Order

Round 1 - Standard. Warm the room up with classic Q&A.
Round 2 - Music or Picture. Variety, audience feels involved.
Round 3 - Estimation or Wager. Mid-quiz drama. Wager especially shakes leaderboards.
Round 4 - Speed. Energy boost.
Round 5 - Pressure (final). Tense finish, big point swings.

5 rounds of 8-10 questions each runs about 60 to 75 minutes total.

Add Polls Between Rounds

Live audience polls between rounds keep energy up. Use them for non-scoring fun questions ("Which is the better James Bond?"). Players vote on phones, results animate on the audience screen.

Variety Tips

  • Don't run two of the same round type back-to-back unless you want to lean into the format
  • Wager rounds are best mid-quiz when teams have a sense of their position - not first, not last
  • Music and Picture rounds work even better in Paper Play - players love to debate at their tables
  • Pressure rounds make great finals because the timer fits the "moment of truth" feeling
  • Use AI question generation for niche topics not covered in the library
