How to play Quiz Night with Gather

What makes Quiz Night work

  • Nine categories to switch on or off, and 10, 15 or 20 questions.
  • A leaderboard after every question keeps it tense to the end.
  • Works on your own, but it’s best with a crowd.

Pick Quiz Night when you want to test each other’s knowledge in about ten minutes.

Skip it when younger kids are playing – you need to read the questions and answers.

Frequently asked questions

Which categories does Quiz Night have?

Nine: General Knowledge, Geography, Nature & Animals, Science, History, Sports & Games, Film & Music, Food & Drink, and Words & Language. Before you start, you pick which ones to include on the game table.

How many questions are in a Quiz Night?

10, 15 or 20 – you set that before you start. You get 20 seconds per question.

Do faster answers score more points?

Yes. An instant correct answer is worth 1000 points, one just before time runs out 500. Each further correct answer in a row adds 100 bonus points, up to 300; a wrong or missing answer ends the streak.

Can I change my answer in the quiz?

No, your first tap counts for each question. So think for a moment before you press – speed only pays off when you’re right.

Do quiz questions repeat?

While the app is running, Gather remembers the most recent questions and picks new ones first. There are several hundred questions per language, in German and English.

Can you play Quiz Night on your own?

Yes, from one person up to ten. You do need a game table, though: the question and answers appear on the Apple TV, iPad or Mac – your phone only shows the four answer buttons.

Variants and house rules

Gather plays by the rules above. Anything you can set in the app is marked – the rest are agreements you make at the table.

Only your favourite categories setting in Gather

Before you start, switch categories on or off on the TV – say, only Geography and Nature & Animals. That fits the quiz to the group instead of letting each player shine only in their own topic.

Short or long setting in Gather

Choose 10, 15 or 20 questions. Ten are done in a few minutes; twenty make a proper quiz session.

Questions in German setting in Gather

You can switch the question language between English and German. Good for mixed groups or as a challenge if everyone speaks German.

Teams on one phone table agreement

If there are more than ten of you or kids are joining in, two or three people share a phone and confer quietly. Gather sees a single player while you play as a team. The leaderboard then shows the team name you enter as the profile name.
