This Isn’t Quiz Night. It’s a Live Game Show Experience.
Most people hear “trivia” and picture someone reading questions while everyone scribbles answers. PlayPad Mania is a professionally hosted trivia game for large groups, built like a real game show.
Teams and departments go head to head through fast rounds and mini games like Horse Race and Cups and Balls. The lead changes hands on the live leaderboard, and the top players finish in the winner’s circle.
No app needed. Guests scan a QR code and their phone becomes the game controller. Prefer phones away? We bring handheld keypads.

Let’s Turn Your Company Message
Into a Live Game Show
Is there something leadership wants people to remember? A new product, company values, a milestone year, training content? We build custom rounds around it.
Instead of sitting through another slide deck, your team competes on the material, sees the answers on screen and keeps talking about it afterward. It’s a high-energy alternative to a keynote speaker, because people remember what they competed on.

“We had over 100 people, so I was a bit nervous, but they kept every single person engaged and entertained. She handled everything from the coordination to the setup, lighting and prizes. It was so easy and fun. Everyone at this meeting said this was the best part of the meeting.”

“I received news on a Sunday that the vendor I secured had to cancel due to a family emergency. The team builder was on Monday… Without hesitation, she confirmed. It’s PlayTyme turned a section of our cafeteria into a mini Game Show set… By the end of the event, the entire room was filled with laughter and smiles.”

“They did a Family-Feud type game show and catered the questions to suit our group of 100+. Our group is more on the conservative/shy side, but Lisa and her team brought on the energy and got everyone pumped up and excited!”

Why Book a Game Show Provider Instead of Running Trivia Yourself?
Sure, you could open a free trivia app and run it yourself. Here’s how that tends to play out in a room of 200 people.
| Doing it yourself | It’s PlayTyme Game Shows | |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs it | Someone on your team reads questions off a laptop | Our production team runs the whole show: a professional host, a game operator and crew |
| The planning | You write questions, build slides and test the app | We plan the show with you, build custom rounds and handle every detail |
| The tech | Logins, screen sharing and glitches are on you | We bring the game system, AV equipment and prizes, and test everything before guests walk in |
| The energy | Starts strong, fades by round three | Mini games and a live leaderboard keep the room competing to the end |
| Your night | You’re running the game instead of enjoying your event | You enjoy the show with your team, and we wrap up right on time |
| The track record | First time running it for this crowd | 3,000+ events since 2012 and a 5.0 rating on Google |
A free app gives you questions. We give you a full game show production.
