🍺 Venues and trivia hosts

Host page or venue page? What each one is for

A venue page belongs to a place: the bar and its weekly trivia. A host page belongs to a person: the quizmaster, wherever they host. Bars want a venue page, traveling trivia hosts want a host page, and the two link up.

  1. What is a venue page?

    A page for a place (a bar, brewery or restaurant) at tipsyrounds.com/v/…: its weekly schedule, upcoming nights, leaderboards and a 🔔 Follow button. It comes with the place’s permanent table QR (print it once, it always opens tonight’s game there), a venue TV that follows every night, and rewards for regulars. It stays with the bar no matter who hosts.

  2. What is a host page?

    A page for a person, the quizmaster, at tipsyrounds.com/h/…: their upcoming nights at every bar they host, the places they host at and a 🔔 Follow button. It comes with their own permanent QR, which opens whatever they’re hosting right now, anywhere. Their crowd follows them from bar to bar.

  3. Which one do I need?

    Own or manage the bar? Make a venue page, even if someone else runs the trivia. Run trivia at bars and events? Turn on a host page. Do both (you host at your own bar)? Have both: your venue page for the place and your host page for you. Hosting friends at home? Neither: just start a game night.

  4. How do they work together?

    A trivia host finds the bar under 🎤 Host page & places → Venues you host at and taps I host here. The bar’s owner approves once. After that the host’s nights at that bar open from the bar’s table QR, play on its venue TV, count on its leaderboard and show on both pages.

  5. Whose QR shows on game night?

    At a venue night, the venue’s table QR by default. The host can switch any night to My QR or Tonight’s code under ⋯ → More → 📱 QR on screen, or make their own QR the default. Every QR opens the same game, so players never end up in the wrong place.
