Use our web-based producer console to create and manage a new generation of live, video-based, hosted game show apps.

Over the years, Ex Machina has created and powered dozens of multiplayer trivia quiz show apps enjoyed by millions of players. PLAYTRIVIA is a solution that combines our trivia quiz toolset with new cutting-edge technologies for ultra-low-latency video streaming. It’s a whole new way to quiz, breathing new life into the game show genre: a new breed of live, social, video-based entertainment that turns viewers into players, and vice versa.

PLAYTRIVIA is easy to use for both producers and users alike.

The experience begins with the pre-game, with amongst others the PLAYTRIVIA login, where users create an account by validating their phone number, email, social accounts, or optional custom SSO integration. Once a player is logged in, you will be able to send them push notifications.

During the live game, there are multiple trivia game modes available, like “last one standing” or a points-driven format. You can also configure timing for questions, answers, and results, while tracking the total number of players and player breakdown for each answer. PLAYTRIVIA displays these results automatically.

All of the winners are highlighted post-game, at which time PLAYTRIVIA will display personal records and player stats. There is also a leaderboard per game, as well as an all-time version. Optional: additional leaderboards with points, topics, number of correct questions, region, age group, etc.

Scalability and reliability are key - video lag and server failure can damage your reputation, as well as the gameplay experience. We started with the solid, scalable platform that Ex Machina is known for, then added key components for video-based trivia quizzes. Plus, if you are in need of any customized extensions or integrations to make PLAYTRIVIA your own, you can rely on Ex Machina’s team of development experts, backed by global 24/7 support and SLAs.
