FAQ
Questions? We have answers.
What do I need to get started?
A TV, an Android TV or Google TV streaming device for each screen (such as an NVIDIA Shield or a Google TV Streamer), and internet at your venue. Guests just need a phone with a camera; nothing to download. We'll help you get the TV app installed.
Do I need a host or staff to run it?
No. Once a TV is paired, rounds run automatically during your opening hours: questions, answer reveals, leaderboards and breaks. Your staff never have to touch it.
What happens if our internet goes down?
The TV keeps playing. Each TV keeps its own supply of questions and your ads, so a Wi-Fi hiccup doesn't freeze the screen. Phone scoring picks back up as soon as the connection returns.
How do guests join?
They scan the QR code on the TV (or type the short code at the web address shown), choose a nickname and start answering. It works in any modern phone browser.
Can I choose the questions?
Yes. Skip any category, pick easy, medium or hard questions, and add your own. You can also have AI draft questions on any topic; nothing plays until you approve it.
Can I show my own ads and specials?
Yes. Upload images or videos and schedule them by day and time. They play during breaks between questions and rounds, and on screen while you're closed.
Will other companies' ads play on my TVs?
SmartyPints may show a small share of network ads between rounds; that helps keep the price low. Ads that local businesses book specifically at your venue only run if you approve them, and you earn 50% of what they pay.
How does billing work?
One monthly subscription per venue, which includes your first TV. Add more TVs for a small monthly fee each. Pay by card; cancel anytime from your billing page.
Is there a contract?
No. Plans are month to month. If you cancel, trivia keeps running until the end of the month you've paid for.
Is it suitable for restaurants and family venues?
Yes. You control the categories and difficulty, and player nicknames are filtered for profanity.
