About 321Trivia
321Trivia is a flexible, host-led trivia platform built to make live trivia easier to run, more engaging to play, and more fun to experience.
321Trivia was founded by Mark and Ryan Thompson. Development began in August 2022 with a simple idea: give trivia hosts the tools to run the game they want to run.
321Trivia can be used to run traditional trivia without power-ups or challenge rounds. Hosts can also choose to incorporate 321Trivia exclusive features throughout their games to add strategy, competition, and excitement.
The platform is intentionally flexible. Hosts decide how much or how little of the additional 321Trivia functionality they want to use.
Players can join from their phones without downloading an app. Questions, scores, and game information can be displayed on venue TVs or screens while the host controls the experience through the 321Trivia host interface.
321Trivia is designed for independent trivia hosts, bars, restaurants, breweries, entertainment companies, corporate events, fundraisers, private events, and other organizations that want to host live trivia.
The idea
Start with trivia. Add strategy when you want it.
321Trivia does not force hosts into one style of trivia. You decide how much of it to switch on.
Traditional trivia
Questions, teams, scores. No power-ups, no challenge rounds. The night runs the way trivia has always run, with the setup and scoring handled for you.
Traditional, plus a few extras
Keep the familiar format and switch on the pieces you like. Turn a single power-up on for one round, or add one challenge round late in the game.
Full 321Trivia strategy
Power-ups, challenge rounds, wagers and comeback mechanics throughout. Teams at the back stay in it, and the last round can still decide the night.
What the platform does
- Host-led gameplayThe host drives the night from their own screen, question by question.

Founded by Mark and Ryan Thompson, with development beginning in August 2022, it started from a simple idea: give trivia hosts the tools to run the game they want to run.

How much of that to use is entirely the host’s call. Players join from their phones without downloading an app. Questions, scores and game information can be shown on venue TVs while the host runs the night from the 321Trivia host interface.

Using the logo
- Give the logo clear space on all sides, at least the height of the "3".
- Place it on black or a dark, uncluttered background. Every file here carries its own dark background, so it is built for exactly that.
- Scale it proportionally, from the corner.
- Use the PNG files supplied here rather than a copy pulled off a screenshot.
- Ask us for a cut-out version if you need the logo on a light or colored background. We would rather send you one than see it boxed.
Please do not
- Do not stretch the logo.
- Do not distort the logo.
- Do not alter the official colors without a specific design reason.
- Do not place the logo where it becomes difficult to read.
- Do not modify the logo to imply an endorsement or partnership.
