The Quiz Bru Roadmap — QB Breaks It Down

Not in a vague 'we're working on exciting things' corporate way. In a 'here's the actual list, here's why it matters, here's when you can expect it' way. Because you deserve that. And because I am tired of roadmaps that read like a horoscope.

Quiz Bru is South Africa's live multiplayer quiz platform — the one where you create a quiz, hand players a code, and watch them compete in real time on a timer-driven leaderboard. No downloads. No accounts required to play. No faff. That part isn't changing. What is changing is everything around it — and honestly, it's going to be proper.

Before we talk about what's coming, let's take a second to appreciate what's already here — because some of you are sleeping on it.

Right now, you can create a quiz in minutes, add as many questions as you want, bank your favourite questions to reuse across multiple quizzes, and run a fully live session where players join via a code on any device. There's a timer. There's a live leaderboard. Scores are calculated based on how fast you answer correctly — not just whether you got it right, but how fast you pulled the trigger.

That's already more than most platforms offer without charging you first. And on Quiz Bru, the free tier covers three full quizzes. Three complete quiz nights, three classroom tournaments, three corporate team-builds — on the house. But three quizzes is just the start of what this platform is going to do.

Here's the one everyone's been asking about: AI-generated questions.

The current flow works fine — you type your questions, add your answers, mark the correct one. It's not broken. But it is work. Especially when you're hosting a 30-question quiz on South African geography at 17:45 and the session kicks off at 18:00.

What's coming: you type a topic. You pick a difficulty. QB writes the questions. Think 'South African History, medium difficulty' → ten questions, four answer options each, correct answer already flagged. You review, tweak what you want, delete what you don't — and you're done. The heavy lifting moves from your brain to mine. That's a better arrangement for everyone.

The goal isn't to remove the human from quiz hosting. It's to remove the boring parts — the blank screen, the 'wait, what were the actual dates of that thing' Googling, the 45 minutes of setup for a 20-minute quiz. AI handles the draft. You handle the vibe.

This one's simpler to explain: you'll be able to drop a photo or diagram into any question.

Right now, Quiz Bru is purely text. That works for most quiz formats, but the moment you want a round of 'name the flag', a map-based geography round, or a picture round at a pub quiz, you're stuck. Not for much longer.

Image questions open up an entirely new category of content that's currently impossible to host on the platform. Logo identification rounds. 'Which city is this?' satellite photo challenges. Historical photo rounds. Science diagram questions. Even memes, if that's the energy your audience has — and honestly, some audiences absolutely have that energy.

The implementation will be clean: add an image to any question the same way you'd add a question or an answer option. It lives above the question text. Players see it during the timer. No special setup required.

Teams Mode is the feature that turns Quiz Bru from a platform for competing individuals into a platform for collaborative group competitions — and that is a much bigger market than it sounds.

Right now, if you want to run a team-based quiz, you have to manage it manually. 'Table 3, you're Team Blue.' It works, but it's duct tape. The platform doesn't know about your teams. The leaderboard doesn't reflect them. You're doing mental arithmetic to figure out who won while also hosting a quiz.

With Teams Mode: players join and are assigned to a team. The leaderboard shows team scores, not just individual scores. The winner is the team at the top when the dust settles.

Consider the use cases this unlocks. Corporate team-building events — now you actually have team scores, not just fifteen individuals competing for themselves. School inter-house competitions. Pub quiz nights where tables compete rather than people. Family gatherings where someone inevitably puts the Aunties against the Cousins. Individual scores still matter — they contribute to the team total — but the frame shifts from 'who's the smartest person in the room' to 'which group figured it out together.' That's a different and genuinely more fun experience for a lot of contexts.

Look. Sometimes you want to host a quiz at 18:00 on a Friday but you also want to be doing something else at 17:58 instead of sitting at your laptop waiting to click Start.

Scheduled Quizzes solve this. Set a date, set a time, and the session opens automatically. Players can already be in the lobby, entering their nicknames, getting hyped — and the quiz starts the moment the clock hits your scheduled time. No babysitting required.

This is particularly powerful for recurring events. A weekly office trivia tradition. A monthly pub quiz. A classroom quiz that runs at the start of every Friday period. Once you've set the schedule, it runs itself.

It also opens up proper event marketing: 'Quiz Night — Friday 18 Jul, 18:00 SAST. Join code: GECKO.' You can put that on a flyer, a WhatsApp group, a newsletter — and the quiz will be there when your players arrive, whether you are or not.

The final piece of the near-term roadmap is twofold: Leaderboard Embeds and the Pro tier.

Leaderboard Embeds let you share a dedicated link that displays the live leaderboard on a screen — a TV in a pub, a projector in a boardroom, a second monitor in a classroom. Right now, the leaderboard lives inside the host view. That's fine for small groups, but for events with 30+ players, you want it big and visible. This makes that possible without anyone squinting at a phone.

The Pro tier is the commercial side of this — unlimited quizzes, access to premium features as they launch, and support that keeps the platform running and improving. Exact pricing and feature breakdown will be confirmed closer to launch, but the structure will be straightforward: free tier stays exactly as it is today, Pro adds more of everything.

Here's the honest summary: Quiz Bru is already a solid platform for live quiz hosting. It does what it says — create quizzes, run sessions, compete in real time.

What's coming turns it into something significantly more powerful. AI generation removes the biggest friction in quiz creation. Image questions expand the content types you can host. Teams Mode opens up a whole category of events that the platform currently can't fully support. Scheduled Quizzes remove the need for a human to babysit the start button. Leaderboard Embeds make the experience work for larger venues.

Each of these ships as an addition to the free multiplayer experience. The core — create a quiz, share a code, compete — doesn't change. Everything on this roadmap is layered on top.

So if you haven't created your first quiz yet: do that now. It's free. Your account will be ready and waiting when each of these features lands — no waitlist, no re-signup, no migration headache. And if you're already hosting: the version of Quiz Bru that exists in six months is going to make the current version look like it was running on dial-up. In a good way.
