What can we play instead of a pub quiz?
Try Wavelength, Herd Mentality, Chameleon, Taboo, Charades, or other browser games that create discussion without needing trivia questions.
Game night without trivia
Pub quiz alternatives for game night when trivia is tired.
When no one wants to write questions, CardYard gives the group quick games that still feel social. Try debate prompts, bluffing games, word clues, and group votes that work online or around the same table.

Keep the social part
A pub quiz works because people talk between answers. These games keep that feeling, but replace fact questions with clues, votes, bluffing, and debate.

No one has to write a round
Open a game, choose a category, and let CardYard generate the next prompt. The host can play too instead of managing a question sheet all night.

Pick by group mood
Use Wavelength for debate, Herd Mentality for crowd guesses, Chameleon for bluffing, and Taboo when the group wants teams.
Before you start
Questions, answered.
The short version: pick an easy category, set a timer, and let the room do the rest.
Can these games work with friends online?
Yes. One person can share the screen or read prompts aloud while everyone answers on a call.
Are these games trivia games?
No. They are party games built around clues, bluffing, votes, and debate, so the group does not need a quizmaster or a question sheet.
Ready when the room is.
