Your staff drives the questions from a laptop. The questions and the scoreboard show on the TVs. Teams play from their own phones by scanning a QR code — no app, no signup. Here is every screen and every rule, plainly.
Every Soiraye game runs across the same four surfaces: the laptop your host drives, the TVs the room watches, the phone in every player's hand, and the dashboard you check the next morning.
Open it on any laptop behind the bar. It's the only thing your host touches all night — one screen that runs the whole game.
Don't want to stand at a laptop? The same controls live on your phone, so your host can work the room and still run the game from wherever they're standing.
Point one TV (or all of them) at the projector view. It's built to be looked at across a loud bar — not a quiz app stretched to fit.
Players scan the QR, pick a team name and an icon, and they're in. It works on whatever phone they're already holding.
When the host reveals, the answer lands big with a sound cue and the scoreboard re-sorts in front of the room.
After every reveal the standings re-sort live — the podium up front, the rest of the field ranked beside it. This is the thing the room argues about at the bar.
The owner's screen. Start tonight's game, launch the host console and projector, and see who showed up.
Most hosts are comfortable by the second week. There's one button to learn — and you can let it run itself if you want.
Choose a question set in the dashboard, or build your own. Start the game and it mints a public 4-letter join code. The answer order is reshuffled every game, so the right answer never sits in the same spot two weeks running.
The QR and code are already on the TV. Players scan, pick a team name and icon, and they're in. Team names run through a moderation filter so nothing ugly hits the big screen. Returning regulars reload straight into their saved team.
Your host opens a question (about 30 seconds by default), the room answers on their phones, the host reveals, scores update, next question. Pause the timer, skip a dud, or break to halftime whenever the room needs it.
Break to a halftime standings screen, then come back for a final wager round where teams bet their points. The scoreboard swings — and the night has a real finish.
Final scoreboard up on every TV. Teams can save their identity for next time, and the whole night — attendance, winners, standings — lands in your dashboard automatically.
This is the part most "trivia tools" never explain. Here's exactly how the game plays.
Multiple choice, true-or-false, guess-the-year, guess-the-number, sort-the-list, and crowd polls. The night doesn't feel like the same question fifteen times.
On number questions you don't have to be exact — anyone within about 5% of the real figure gets it. Close counts.
Put items in the right order (oldest to newest, smallest to biggest). Get at least half in place and you take the question.
Some prompts are pure crowd-read — no right answer, no points, just the room showing its hand on the big screen.
Straight and legible: a correct answer is worth 100 points, a wrong one is zero. No mystery math the room can't follow.
Final-Jeopardy style. Teams bet any amount up to their current score: nail it and you add it, miss and you lose it. Last place can still steal the night.
Tied on points? The team whose first correct answer came in earliest ranks higher. No coin flips.
Every reveal shows how many got it, who was first, and how all the answers split — the stuff that makes the room react.
Let it auto-reveal when the timer's up and auto-advance after. One bartender can run the whole night without hovering.
Players fire reactions from their phones — fire, hearts, claps — and they surface live on the projector.
Real rooms need a referee. Adjust any score with a note, flip a ruling, or rename a team — all live, no restart.
Push a scrolling line ("$5 shots till 10") or a one-off announcement to the TVs without breaking the game.
Pop divas, drag, reality TV, queer film, the cultural moments people quote without checking. Every question short enough to read in one breath. The set reshuffles fresh each night, so it's unpredictable even for your host — and there's a constant stream of new material, not the same printed pack forever.
The big screen carries your venue's logo and accent color top to bottom, with an optional custom lobby image and a sponsor line (text, logo, or link). It looks like your bar's night — not a sports-bar default someone forgot to rebrand.
No hardware to buy, no install, no AV crew. A screen and a laptop behind the bar is the whole rig.
Open the host console on a laptop, point a TV at the projector view, and you're live. That's the setup.
No app, no signup, nothing to hand out. The room plays from the phones already in their hands.
Pack a dead Tuesday and the covers and bar tabs cover the month. It's not a line item — it's why the night exists.
Get set up and we'll show you the host console, the big screen, and the phone — live, with your bar's brand on it.
Phone cards for every player, the queen pulling each ball, a winning card flagged the second it happens.
