Questions about your own family win

Generic trivia is forgotten by dessert. Questions about your own people start the stories: the year of the flood in the cellar, the cake nobody could finish, the first car. Use the examples as a model and replace every detail with your family.

  • Quiz questions with a timer for family trivia and the funniest memories
  • Guess a number for ages, years and how many came last time
  • Right order and match pairs to line up photos, people and dishes

Short rounds between courses

Play three or four questions between the starter and the main course, then a few more with coffee. The free plan allows five questions per presentation, so one presentation per round keeps the meal flowing. You decide when the answers appear, so the table argues first.

Every age at one table

Guests scan the code or type hopvote.com and the 5-character code. No app and no account, and each phone reads the questions in its own language, handy when the family lives in several countries. Anyone who is not at the table joins from the short link in a video call.

Questions

How many questions for a family dinner quiz?
