Hello friends! In today's video, I am excited to share with you TriviaMaker.
You too can play your own games Family Feud style,
jeopardy, Wheel of fortune.
All of these cool style games on Zoom.
So if that's what you're looking for, up your zoom party game
or your Zoom teacher lessons.
If we're meeting for the first time, hi my name is Shawn.
This video is sponsored by TriviaMaker. Thank you.
On this channel, I am passionate about bringing families closer together
through fun and games, connecting teachers with their students,
connecting church leaders with their kids.
There we go rubber band.
If you're looking for some new game ideas.
People are bored of Zoom.
You need something to kind of spice it up.
Well I did too.
So I invited some neighbors to test out TriviaMaker,
which is a software program that offers free options,
as well as paid options.
I'll leave all their info in the description box down below
for playing on Zoom.
Oh if they also you can also play this game other places
but I'll share more about that later.
So I invited some neighbors to play a free Disney family feud game.
It's really cool.
I didn't even ask my neighbor and her friend to wear their Mouse ears
yet we all showed up with Mouse ears because why not its Disney,
I hosted the game and I could see the answers on my end
with this cool presenter view where it shows me the screen
and I can control like clapping hand noises.
I can control the volume.
I can share my screen through the Zoom share option.
Oh, by the way, TriviaMaker has some great tutorials.
I watched two tutorials before hosting my own game
and they were super easy.
But I do suggest watching their tutorials.
They're very concise and thorough.
You could have up to four teams currently but they're getting ready
to add more teams coming soon.
I'm excited to see that.
After I played the free version, I thought okay this is awesome.
What does the paid version look like?
Now you would think the paid version would be expensive but it's actually not.
There are monthly ways you can pay as well as a yearly option.
And I'll put that info in the description box because
wait wait till you hear about the awesome features for the paid version.
In the paid version, you can create your own game.
There are four different styles of games: grid, list, trivia, and wheel.
So it's kind of like Wheel of Fortune, jeopardy, regular trivia,
and Family Feud style.
So I decided to create a trivia night and get together
with some college buddies on Zoom.
And I literally have not seen since I graduated from my undergraduate.
Which I'm not going to tell you when.
Do you really need to know how old I am?
The way you create the games is so easy.
It gives you options to add questions.
I put in 20 questions.
You can choose different ways to present the answers.
I chose multiple choice.
There were up to four options you could choose.
I picked the three options and then I had four different teams set up.
And it was just so easy.
Although I did have to do research on my undergraduate as well.
I really didn't remember that much about my undergraduate college campus.
I keep switching camera angles because I don't know which one I like.
It's really cool because you can choose like a presenter view
so you share your screen on Zoom.
And you can see a different screen that controls everything behind the scenes.
And then the players actually see the scoreboard
and the questions on a separate screen.
It was super easy to setup.
It may sound complicated but trust me it was really easy.
TriviaMaker has a tutorial for it.
It also shows you how you can share the sound
because in the customize option, you guys, you can customize the music.
You can customize the logo that pops up.
You can change the colors of everything as well as all the questions and answers.
So lots of customization options.
I will definitely be hosting more trivia nights in the future with the paid version
because I had so much fun putting together questions
and the answers for my players.
I can see teachers loving this as a learning tool.
TriviaMaker also has an app.
You can do it on your app, on your desktop, on your laptop,
and on their app it says "people learn best when they're having fun."
I absolutely love that because you know, you all know,
that I wholeheartedly believe that people are connected through fun
and through play.
And through games, play, and laughter brings people together.
A really nifty thing about TriviaMaker, is you don't have to
use it just through Zoom.
You can project it on a huge projector for lots of people.
And there's a tutorial for that.
Or you can also share it to your TV.
And there's a tutorial on how to do that as well, which is really cool.
That it is really versatile.
Can be used for so many options.
Thank you so much TriviaMaker for sponsoring today's video.
Thanks for watching. I'll see you in my next video. Bye!
