Quiz Granny /kwiz · gran-ee/ · noun

Founded in 2023, it writes, produces and hosts live quizzes for companies, colleges and schools, runs the Quiz Club Bhopal community, and builds QG Playground, a platform for live quizzes and assessments.

We are not an events company.

We are not a tech company.

We are not even, strictly, a quiz company.

We are a crazy team chasing one idea: that the thrill of a buzzer round can make a billion people curious again.

The story so far

From one decision to a company, a club and a platform

Quiz Granny began as a bet that quizzing could be a profession, not a pastime. This is how that bet has played out, room by room.

  1. 2023

    Quiz Granny begins

  8. Next

    A billion curious minds

    The world’s largest community of curious people. We are some way off. We are not slowing down.

What we believe

The Buzzer Effect

The rush of a buzzer round does what a lecture never could. It uses the psychology of play to make the mind adapt, compete and stay focused — turning passive listening into a competitive sport.

It is the idea every Quiz Granny room is built on. In a world where AI can answer anything, the real skill is asking — and a good quiz is the most enjoyable way we know to practise it.

01

Every question written for the room

We never resell a question pack or run the same set for two clients.

02

The person who writes it, hosts it

Your quiz master knows every question, because they wrote it.

03

Measured, not just memorable

A post-event impact report, so a good evening also leaves evidence behind.

nliu quiz

Thirty at an offsite. A thousand at a townhall. Every room gets its own quiz.

Why we built a product

A billion minds will never fit in one hall

A hall holds a few hundred people. The vision needs more than that. So we built QG Playground, our first tech product — to make quizzing accessible to people we will never meet in a room, and to take the power of a good quiz to a billion minds.

  • 01Live quizzing, on every phone in the room
  • 02Exams, minus the exam hall
  • 03Know what your people actually know
  • 04Describe a topic. Get a quiz.
