New here? Answers for new hosts

What to do first, what players need, QR codes and table tents, venue and host pages, scheduling, and what it costs.

  1. Where do I start?

    Answer What kind of host are you? on your dashboard: ๐Ÿ  Friends & family, ๐ŸŽค I host trivia at bars and events or ๐Ÿบ I run a bar or venue. It decides what your dashboard leads with. Then tap ๏ผ‹ New game night: pick the games, tap Create, and the QR shows up right away.

  2. Do players need an app or an account?

    No. They scan the QR (or type the 6-letter code at tipsyrounds.com), pick a name and play in their phoneโ€™s browser. Nothing to download, no signup.

  3. Which QR code do I print?

    Each night has its own code, which ends with the night. For something you print once, use a permanent QR: a barโ€™s table QR (on the venue page) always opens whatever game is live there, and a trivia hostโ€™s own QR opens whatever theyโ€™re hosting anywhere. Both come with the Pro & Venue plan.

  5. Why make a venue page?

    Your bar gets a page with its weekly schedule, leaderboards and a ๐Ÿ”” Follow button, so players hear about the next night. Itโ€™s also what gives you the permanent table QR, the venue TV and rewards for regulars. See Set up your venue.

  6. What does it cost, and how do I cancel?

    Hosting is free, forever, with a few sponsor spots on screen. Paid plans take the ads off and add tools like the permanent QR. Change or cancel any time on Account โ†’ Manage billing, card or cancel. See Free vs paid plans.
