Some crowds are there to compete. Most are there to have a good time.
Smarty Pants Trivia is built for the second kind of venue. Every question has three answer choices. There is no wager, no penalty and no risk on any question, so a table that walked in off the street can play the whole night without feeling outgunned by the regulars in the corner.
Before the game, the host picks one to five Random Double questions. They are not announced. They pop up during play and score double, which keeps the standings loose and gives the tables in the back a shot at the prizes right up to the last round.
Restaurants and bars that want trivia as part of the evening rather than the whole evening. Venues with a rotating crowd. Hosts who want an easy night to run alongside a harder format on another day of the week.
Smarty Pants runs on the same software platform: dual-screen output, built-in scoring, music player, preview mode, game recovery. A new game posts at 12:01 a.m. every Monday through Thursday with its images and audio.
$199 a month for one licensed laptop and one host, up to four games a week. 30-day free trial, no credit card, after a setup call and training.
Trivia the whole venue can play, not just the team that always wins.
