- Quiz Night is louder than Letter Hunt (loud vs. lively).
- Letter Hunt has more interaction than Quiz Night (you react to each other vs. little contact).

Which one suits you?
Letter Hunt
The classic word game without pen and paper: one letter, several categories, and whoever finishes first calls “Stop!”. You score together – dodgy answers can be challenged and the majority decides.
Pick Letter Hunt when you enjoy playing with words and don’t mind a friendly argument.
Quiz Night
The question on the TV, four big answer buttons on your phone, 20 seconds on the clock. Fast correct answers score more, streaks earn a bonus – and the leaderboard after each question shows who’s catching up.
Pick Quiz Night when you want to test each other’s knowledge in about ten minutes.
