Take me there: My Trivia Packs

You can start any published pack, a ready-to-run pack or a subscribed one from its Play Now button (or the green play button in the Marketplace).

  1. Choose Play Now on the pack.

    The Choose Your Game Mode window opens: Pick the player experience that fits how you want to run this game.

    The Choose Your Game Mode window with Trivia Night (Automated) and Bar Trivia (Host Controlled), each with a play button.
    Choose Your Game Mode.
  2. Choose Automated Play for Trivia Night, or Manual Play for Bar Trivia.

    The game starts and the Host Console opens, as in any other game.

Mode How it runs
Trivia Night (Automated) An automated, streamed game show with an optional AI host. Best for hands-off play: sit back and let the host run the show.
Bar Trivia (Host Controlled) A manual, host-controlled experience. You drive the pacing, answers and reveals, and it is built for live MCs.
