Frequently Asked Questions

Everything people usually ask before their first game.

Getting started

Is Wedgie Trivia free?

Yes. Hosting, joining, and every game mode are free — no purchases, credits, or subscriptions required to play.

Do I need to make an account?

No. You can play as a guest — just pick a display name and you're in. Signing in with email or Google saves your profile and display name between sessions, which is mainly useful if you want personal questions to remember your answers game to game.

How many people can play?

There's no fixed player limit on a lobby. Some modes have a minimum to start — Wedgie and Classic need at least 2, Imposter needs at least 3 — but there's no cap on how many friends can pile into one lobby.

What do I need to play?

Just a browser. Wedgie Trivia works on desktop and mobile with no install — open play.wedgietrivia.com, pick a name, and host or join a lobby.

Playing on a TV

Can we play on a TV or big screen?

Yes — open play.wedgietrivia.com/tv on any screen with a browser and enter your lobby code. The board and questions display there while everyone answers privately from their own phone.

How do people join if it's on a TV?

Everyone scans a QR code shown on screen, which drops them straight into the lobby on their phone. No typing a code required, though the code is also shown if someone would rather type it in.

Questions and AI

Where do the trivia questions come from?

They're generated live by AI for every game, across eight categories: history, science, geography, entertainment, sports, art, literature, and technology. Because they're generated on the fly rather than pulled from a fixed bank, the same group can play repeatedly without seeing the same questions twice.

Can we make the questions about a specific topic?

Yes. A host can rename any category to a theme — "90s movies," a shared hobby, an inside joke — and the AI builds questions around that instead of the default category.

What are personal questions?

An opt-in feature where players fill out a short profile (favorite movie, hometown, go-to order, etc.) and the game asks other players questions about each other — "What's Sarah's favorite fast food spot?" It only uses information players choose to share, and it's off by default; a host turns it on per lobby.

Accounts and privacy

What happens to my data if I play as a guest?

Guest identities aren't tied to an account and may be cleared after a period of inactivity. See our Privacy Policy for the full details on what's collected and how it's used.

Can I delete my account?

Yes — account deletion is available from the profile page, and we also provide a dedicated data deletion page outlining what's removed.
