Péter’s a professional Hungarian quiz master with over 8 years of hosting experience under his belt. In 2018 he and a former university friend established Quizland, en live quiz-tjeneste, der bragte folk i deres skarer til pubberne i Budapest.
It didn’t take long before his quizzes become super populær:
Players had to apply via Google Forms, because seats were limited to 70 – 80 people. Most of the time we had to repeat the same quizzes 2 or 3 times, just because so many people wanted to play.
Every week, Péter’s quizzes would revolve around a theme from a Tv-show eller film. Harry Potter quizzer var en af hans bedste kunstnere, men antallet af fremmøde var også højt for hans Friends, DC & Marvel og Teorien om Big Bang quizzer.

In under 2 years, with everything looking up for Quizland, Péter and his friend were wondering exactly how they were going to handle the growth. The eventual answer was the same as it was a lot of people at the dawn of COVID in early 2020 – at flytte sine operationer online.
With pubs shut across the country, and all of his quizzes and team building events cancelled, Péter returned to his hometown of Gárdony. In the office room of his house, he started plotting how to share his quizzes with the virtual masses.
Hvordan Péter flyttede sin pubquiz online
‘Backstage’ at Quizland HQ in Gárdony.
Péter startede sin jagt på det rigtige værktøj til at hjælpe ham vært en live quiz online. Han gjorde en masse research, foretog mange indkøb af professionelt udstyr og bestemte derefter de 3 faktorer, han havde mest brug for fra sin virtuelle pubquiz -hosting -software:
At kunne være vært stort antal af spillere uden problemer.
At vise spørgsmålene på players’ devices in order to bypass YouTube’s 4 second latency on live streaming.
At have en række af tilgængelige spørgsmålstyper.
After trying out Kahoot, as well as many similar bits of kitBesluttede Péter at give AhaSlides siden.
I checked Kahoot, Quizizz and a bunch of others, but AhaSlides seemed to be the best value for its price.
Med henblik på at fortsætte det fantastiske arbejde, han havde udført med Quizland offline, begyndte Péter at eksperimentere med AhaSlides.
Han prøvede forskellige diastyper, forskellige formater af overskrifter og leaderboards og forskellige tilpasningsmuligheder. Inden for få uger efter nedlåsning havde Péter fundet ud af den perfekte forumla og tiltrak større publikum til sine online quizzer, end han gjorde offline.
Nu trækker han regelmæssigt ind 150-250 spillere pr. Online quiz. Og på trods af at lockdowns er lettet i Ungarn og folk på vej tilbage til puben, vokser antallet stadig.
Péter’s most popular online pub quiz to date – Harry Potter, with over 650 live players.

Og hans spillere?
They like my games and the way they are prepared. I’m lucky to have a lot of returning players and teams. I very rarley receive negative feedback about the quizzes or the software. Naturally there have been one or two minor technical problems, but that’s to be expected.
Fordelene ved at flytte din pubquiz online
Der var en tid, hvor trivia-mestere som Péter var meget tilbageholdende at flytte deres pubquiz online.
Faktisk er mange stadig. Der er konstant bekymringer for, at online quizzer vil være fyldt med problemer relateret til latenstid, forbindelse, lyd og stort set alt andet, der kan gå galt i den virtuelle sfære.
Faktisk er virtuelle pub-quizzer kommet på stormskridt siden starten af lockdown, og pub quiz-mestre begynder at se det digitale lys.
1. Kæmpe Kapacitet
For en quizmester, der maksimerer kapaciteten ved sine offline-begivenheder, var den ubegrænsede verden af online quiz naturligvis en stor ting for Péter.
Offline, if we hit capacity, I need to announce another date, start the reservation process again, monitor and handle the cancellations, etc. There’s no such problem when I host an online game; 50, 100, even 10,000 people can join without problems.
2. Auto-administrator
In an online quiz, you’re never hosting alone. Your software will take care of the admin, meaning you just have to proceed through the questions:
Selvmærkning – Everyone gets their answers marked automatically, and there are a bunch of different scoring systems to choose from.
Perfekt tempo – Never repeat a question. Once time’s up, you’re onto the next one.
Save paper – Not a single tree wasted in printing materials, and not a single second lost to the circus of getting teams to mark other teams’ answers.
Analyse – Get your numbers (som dem ovenfor) hurtigt og nemt. Se detaljer om dine spillere, dine spørgsmål og det engagementsniveau, du administrerede.
3. Mindre tryk
Not good with crowds? No worries. Péter’s found a lot of solace in the anonym natur af online pub quiz-oplevelsen.
If I make a mistake offline, I have to react to it immediately with a lot of people staring at me. During an online game, you can’t see the players and – in my opinion – there isn’t such a high pressure when dealing with issues.
Even if you run into technical issues during your quiz – don’t sweat it! Hvor i pubben du måske bliver mødt med en forfærdelig stilhed og lejlighedsvis sprøjt fra utålmodige trivia nødder, er folk derhjemme langt mere i stand til at finde deres egen underholdning, mens problemerne bliver løst.
4. Arbejder i hybrid
We get it. It’s not easy to replicate the raucous atmosphere of a live pub quiz online. In fact, it’s one of the biggest and most justified grumbles from quiz masters about moving their pub quiz online.
Hybrid quiz giver dig det bedste fra begge verdener. Du kan køre en live quiz i en murstenvirksomhed, men brug online-teknologi til at gøre det mere organiseret, for at tilføje multimediesortiment til det og til at acceptere spillere fra både de personlige og de virtuelle verdener på samme tid .
At være vært for en hybridquiz i live-indstilling betyder også, at alle spillere har det adgang til en enhed. Players won’t have to crowd around a single piece of paper and quiz masters won’t have to pray that the pub’s sound system doesn’t fail them when it matters.
5. Mange spørgsmålstyper
Be honest – how many of your pub quizzes are mostly open-ended questions with one or two multiple choice? Online quizzes have a lot more to offer in terms of question variety, and they’re an absolute breeze to set up.
Billeder som spørgsmål – Ask a question about an image.
Billeder som svar – Ask a question and provide images as potential answers.
Audio questions – Ask a question with an accompanying audio track that plays directly on all players’ devices.
Matchende spørgsmål – Pair each prompt from column A with its match in column B.
Guestimationsspørgsmål – Ask a numerical question – closest answer on a sliding scale wins!
protip 💡 You’ll find most of these question types on AhaSlides. The ones that aren’t there yet will be soon!
Péter’s Tips for the Ultimate Online Pub Quiz
Tip #1 💡 Fortsæt med at tale
En quizmaster skal være i stand til at tale. Du skal tale meget, men du skal også lade folk, der spiller i hold, tale med hinanden.
En af de store forskelle mellem offline og online pub quizzer er lydstyrken. In an offline quiz, you’ll have the noise of 12 tables discussing the question, whereas online, you might only be able to hear yourself.
Don’t let this throw you – fortsæt med at tale! Genskab den pubatmosfære ved at tale for alle spillere.
Tip #2 💡 Få feedback
Unlike an offline quiz, there is no real-time feedback online (or just very rarely). I am always asking for feedback from my audience, and I’ve managed to collect 200+ bits of feedback from them. Using this data, I sometimes decide to change up my system, and it’s great to see the positive effect that has.
If you’re looking to build a following like Péter’s, you’re going to need to know what you’re doing right and wrong. This is especially vital for brand new quiz masters and ones who have flyttede lige deres trivia-nætter online.
Tip #3 💡 Test det
I always do tests before I try something new. Not because I don’t trust the software, but because preparing a game for a smaller group before going public can highlight a lot of things a quiz master should be aware of.
You’ll never know how your quiz will perform in the real world without some serious test. Tidsbegrænsninger, scoringssystemer, lydspor, selv baggrundssynlighed og tekstfarve skal testes for at sikre, at din virtuelle pubquiz ikke er andet end glat sejlads.
Tip #4 💡 Brug den rigtige software
AhaSlides hjalp mig meget med at være vært for en virtuel pub-quiz, som jeg havde planlagt. På lang sigt vil jeg bestemt gerne beholde dette online quiz-format og vil bruge AhaSlides til 100 % af onlinespil.
