For trivia hosts, DJs and entertainers

STOP WRITING TRIVIA.
START RUNNING
A SHOW.

Mind Games Trivia is professional hosting software with a finished, fact-checked game waiting for you every show day. Your laptop runs it. The venue's TVs show it. You host.

Mind Games Trivia Host Dashboard

BUILT BY A HOST,
REFINED OVER THOUSANDS OF SHOWS

There are trivia products where the host reads questions off a phone. This is a two-screen show system, built by a host who ran more than 2,500 shows and refined it after every one.

Tonight's game, ready at 12:01 a.m.

A new game for each show day, Monday through Thursday. Every image, song and video downloads with the question set. Nothing to build.

Fact-checked, sources documented

AI-written questions and unverified packs are everywhere now. One wrong or vague answer costs you the venue. Every answer here is checked, and the host notes back you up.

Preview before you leave the house

Read the whole game with answers, host notes and media. Two validation checks confirm nothing is missing before you load the car.

Two screens

The Host Dashboard stays on your laptop. The Audience Display fills the venue's TVs with questions, pictures, answers, fun facts and standings.

Score a full venue fast

Type the team number and the answer letter, press Enter, next sheet. Wager rounds score with one button. Fix any score at any point in the game.

A finish worth staying for

The final scores count up third, second, first, with medals and music. Teams stay to the end, and they come back next week.

SOMEONE TRIPS ON THE CABLE.
THE LAPTOP RESTARTS.

Both have happened to the person who built this, during a show. The game is on your laptop before you leave the house, so the venue's internet never enters into it. If the laptop restarts, game recovery puts you back on the same question with every team and score intact. If the screen drops, one button restores it.

Also in the box: a master music player with playlists and fades for pregame and breaks, a slideshow for sponsor slides, a text screen for announcements, saved team names for your regulars, and league results that upload after the show.

Answer reveal with fun fact on the audience screen

ORIGINAL MUSIC ON EVERY QUESTION

The quietest moment in most trivia nights is right after the question. In a Mind Games Trivia show, that is when the music starts. More than 350 original tracks, most written around the question categories, with instrumentals for the word puzzles. Teams cannot overhear each other, and the crowd never goes flat.

WHAT YOU NEED

  • A Windows laptop. Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit, with an HDMI or other display output. The software does not run on a Mac, a tablet or a phone.
  • A second screen at the venue. A TV, projector or monitor for the audience display.
  • A sound system and microphone. Original music plays during every question, so the venue never goes quiet.
  • Internet before the show. You download the game at home. Once it is on your laptop, the show runs with no internet at the venue.

A PRODUCT AS GOOD AS YOUR PERSONALITY

Plenty of hosts get by on personality. That works for one host and a few nights a week. It does not scale.

Rick Good has hosted more than 2,500 shows and built game show entertainment businesses in two very different markets: the Research Triangle in North Carolina and the Grand Strand in South Carolina. He built this software by running shows every night and refining it after each one. Whether you want more nights on your own calendar or a company with hosts of its own, he can help with either.
