Take me there: My Trivia Packs

Gig Game runs trivia in two ways. You can play a ready-made pack in a few clicks, or you can build your own from your own questions. This article is the map. Every part has its own article.

The My Question Catalog page with the Quick Trivia, My Question Catalog, Import Shared Catalogs and Trivia Builder Tutorial tabs and a table of questions.
The trivia area. The top row of tabs covers games and packs; the second row covers building.

#How the pieces connect

  • Questions live in your Question Catalog. You write them, import them, or have AI write them.
  • A pack (a Game Show Pack) is a set of questions plus rounds, categories, a visual theme and music. Optionally it also has an AI host and voice.
  • You publish a pack to play it. You can keep it private, or share it in the Community Marketplace.
  • Other hosts' shared packs can be subscribed to and played, and their questions can be imported into your catalog.

#Pick a path by what you want today

  • A quick game tonight: sequential questions, one round, done in minutes. Use Quick Trivia.
  • A show with no live host: the full builder, Automated, can add an AI host with generated dialog and voice (optional).
  • A pack to host yourself: categories and difficulty, ready for the Marketplace. Use the full builder, Host Controlled.

Quick Trivia is the fast lane: one round, no categories, no AI voice, built in one sitting. The full builder is the full toolkit. Both publish a real, playable pack, so you are never stuck with the simpler tool once you outgrow it. Nothing locks you in, and you can use a different path later. See choosing how to build for a side-by-side table and the trivia FAQ.
