TriviaMaker

What it is

TriviaMaker is a browser-based trivia and quiz game maker. Its home page describes it as "a free online trivia game maker that lets educators, corporate trainers, and event hosts create interactive quiz games in 7 game styles", and the comparison page adds team leaders to the audience. Players join on any device with a code, and the pages stress that no student accounts are required. It is a live-game and self-paced quiz tool for classrooms, training sessions and events, not a general app builder. The pages do not say where the company is based.

What you build and how

You build a question set, pick a game style and run it. The home page says you choose a game style, then add questions manually, import them from a spreadsheet or use the AI generator, then share a join code with your players and launch. Only the host needs a TriviaMaker account. Players join with a 6-digit code or a QR code in a phone or laptop browser, with no app download.

The 7 game styles named on the site are Grid Style, a category board that the quiz maker page calls Jeopardy-style, List Style with survey-style answers, Trivia Style for multiple choice, Wheel Style with spin-based gameplay, Tic-Tac Style for strategic, turn-based trivia, Hangman Style for word guessing, and Fusion Style, which mixes formats in one game. The company says each style works with the same set of questions, so there is no reformatting. The quiz maker page suggests Trivia, Wheel and TicTac for quick rounds and Grid and List for longer ones.

Getting questions in is where the product leans on AI and imports. The quiz maker page says "Type any topic for instant quiz generation, or upload a PDF/URL", and a separate answer says you can upload a document, or paste its text, and the AI extracts questions and answers. It also says you can paste a spreadsheet or upload a CSV or Excel file, with a ready-made template so your columns match. Images can be used as the question itself or as answer options. The page says the interface and games can be localized, and one quiz can be shared with audiences in different languages.

There are several modes beyond a standard live game. The comparison page describes Crowd Mode as the large-audience mode with audience participation, and Buzz Mode as a competition mode with buzzer functionality for fast-paced play. The quiz maker page describes Assignment Mode, where participants complete quizzes at their own pace, and the comparison page mentions Embedded entries. For remote sessions, the home page says it works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and any screen-sharing platform: the host shares the screen and players answer on their own phones. During play the page lists a live leaderboard and real-time analytics, including per-participant and per-question results.

On the forms side, TriviaMaker is a quiz and survey-style tool, not a lead form builder. List Style is described as survey-style answers, and the pages mention importing questions and reading results, but not email capture, form fields or CRM connections. So the forms membership here means a quiz you send out as an assignment and read results from.

Branding is a paid feature. The quiz maker page says paid plans include logo, colors, backgrounds, music, fonts and videos, and that white-label options are available. The home page says the web app works on phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.

The evidence from the pages

Pricing is published, and it is the clearest part of the entry. The home page says "TriviaMaker has a free forever plan with no credit card required. The free plan supports up to 20 participants in Crowd Mode and includes 3 game styles. Paid plans start at $6.99/month (or $19/year)." The same answer says paid plans include all 7 game styles, up to 50 participants, AI question generation and full custom branding.

The comparison page lists the tiers in a table. Basic is free at $0 and covers 20 participants. Premium is $6.99/mo with 50. Premium Plus is $39.99/yr, labeled as an introductory price, with 200. Enterprise has custom pricing, with up to 2,000 Buzz and Crowd participants and up to 2,000 Assignment and Embedded entries, and the page says it adds priority support and custom integration. The FAQ on that page repeats the Crowd Mode limits: 20 on the free plan, 50 on Premium, 200 on Premium Plus and up to 2,000 on Enterprise. Buzz Mode has the same step-ups.

Two details need a second look before you buy. The home page says AI generation is available on paid plans, while a comparison passage on the quiz maker page says TriviaMaker "also includes AI question generation and seven game styles, which most free tiers restrict to paid plans". The pages do not reconcile the two, so confirm what the free plan includes. The comparison page also publishes a transparency note that it is written by TriviaMaker, a competing quiz platform, so its comparisons with Kahoot and Quizizz are the company's own view.

Terms are stated plainly: "7-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. No setup fees." You can upgrade or cancel anytime from your dashboard. The quiz maker page gives no certification claims and the pages name no SOC 2, GDPR or similar standard. They do not mention an API or a self-hosting option. Usage claims are general: the comparison page says it is used by educators, corporate trainers, event hosts and team leaders, and the quiz maker page invites you to "Join thousands of educators, HR managers". It names no customers.

Who it suits and who it does not

TriviaMaker suits a teacher, trainer or event host who wants to run a game tonight, with a join code, a projector or a Zoom screen share and no accounts for the players. The free plan with 20 players and 3 game styles is enough to test it with a class or team, and the stated 2,000-player ceiling on Enterprise means a conference crowd is covered. The AI and spreadsheet import options help when you already have study material or a question bank.

It is a weaker fit for formal assessment, lead capture or anything that needs integrations. The pages show no form fields, no email collection and no named CRM connections, and the Premium limit of 50 participants is small for large sessions unless you move up a tier. Branding and AI sit behind the paid plans according to the home page, so a team that wants a branded game needs at least Premium. Anyone who needs compliance paperwork or an API should ask the company, since the pages are silent on both.
