Quizness Time
About
Quizness time is a free quiz platform. powered by Unity and the Open Trivia Database
At a time when everyone is forced to self isolate and people are looking for things to do, we decided to create a super-lightweight quiz hosting app that you can run on your computer, and stream to your friends, hosting your own virtual quiz nights.
All you have to do is download the game, run the app and then stream it to whoever you want. The way people answer the questions and scoring is down to you. Version 1.0 is barebones and we will add features based on how it is used and feedback.
How do I work it?
