About and privacy

Room Trivia is a free set of trivia games for families, classrooms and parties. One screen hosts the game; everyone answers on their own phone.

Family-friendly by design

Every question was written and checked to be suitable for children. Faith categories are written respectfully, describing what each tradition teaches in its own words, and hosts can turn any category on or off.

Player names and typed answers are checked against a list of blocked words, including common misspellings and look-alike letters. Emoji and links are not allowed. Room codes use only consonants, so they can never spell a word.

What we store

There are no accounts, email addresses or passwords for players. We store only what the game needs:

• The nickname you type, your answers and your score while a game is running. Rooms and their answers are deleted a few hours after the last move.
• Final scores above zero, with the nickname and date, for the public high-score boards.
• If you rate a question with a thumbs up or down, that vote, tied to the game's room code but not to your name, so the site owner can improve or remove questions.
• Anything you choose to send with the feedback form. An email address is optional and is used only to reply, then deleted.
• Short-lived counters of how many games and joins come from an internet address, to stop abuse. These are deleted after a day.

Your phone remembers your nickname, current game, party colors and sound setting in its own browser storage so you can rejoin after a refresh. There are no trackers and no third-party scripts. If the site shows ads or sponsor links to cover its costs, they will not be targeted using information about you.

Please use a nickname rather than a full name, especially for children. If a name on the high-score board needs to come down, the site owner can hide or delete it; just use the feedback form.

Terms

Using the site means you accept the Terms of Use: free to play, provided as is, and please don't abuse it.
