Everything you need to know about using Orchestrated Quiz Night — from getting started to earning tokens and hosting your first quiz.

Getting Started

Orchestrated Quiz Night (OQN) is a marketplace and hosting platform for pub quiz hosts. Browse and download ready-made question bundles, contribute your own questions to earn rewards, and run your quiz directly from the browser — all from one account.

OQN is built for anyone who runs quiz nights — pub managers, freelance quizmasters, and entertainment companies. If you regularly source and present quiz content, this platform will save you time and reward your effort.

  • Register for a free account and receive a welcome bonus of tokens to spend straight away.
  • Browse the marketplace to find bundles by category, difficulty, and topic.
  • Upload your own questions to earn tokens and build your reputation in the community.
Tokens

Tokens are OQN's in-app currency. You earn them by contributing to the community and spend them to download quiz content. Your balance is always visible in your wallet. All token amounts shown on the platform are the current values and may be updated from time to time — your wallet and in-app figures are always the authoritative source.

You earn tokens by actively contributing to the quality of the platform:

  • Sign up — receive a one-time welcome bonus to get you going.
  • Upload questions — earn a reward for each question accepted into the marketplace.
  • Rate and validate content — earn tokens for rating and checking the accuracy and relevance of questions and bundles you own.
  • Vote on difficulty — help the community by refining how questions are classified.
  • Contribute wrong-answer options — add multiple-choice distractors to questions you own.
  • Earn royalties — whenever a bundle containing your questions is downloaded by another host, you earn a passive royalty automatically.
  • Bundle curation royalties — if you build a bundle that other hosts purchase, you earn a share of each sale.

Tokens are spent in the marketplace:

  • Download question bundles — the primary way to build your quiz library.
  • Download individual questions — pick specific questions to build a custom bundle.

Current prices are shown in the marketplace listings and may change over time.

To keep the community fair, token rewards for rating, validation, and similar actions only apply to content you have downloaded or authored — rewards are tied to genuine use, not browsing. A daily limit also applies to these actions; the current limit is shown in your account dashboard and may be adjusted over time.

When someone purchases a bundle that contains your questions, you earn a royalty automatically — you don't need to do anything. The purchase price is split between the platform, the bundle's creator, and all the question authors whose questions are included.

For established contributors with many questions in the marketplace, royalties become the primary source of ongoing token income, potentially covering multiple quiz nights' worth of bundle purchases each month. The exact amounts are subject to change as the economy is tuned — check your wallet for the current rates.

Bundles & Content

A bundle is a curated set of questions on a theme or topic, designed to be run as a quiz round. A typical quiz night uses several bundles across multiple rounds. You can download bundles from the marketplace, or build your own from questions you have created or purchased.

  • Open answer (text)
  • Numeric or year-based answers
  • True or False
  • Multiple choice

Any question can be used as a standard open question. Questions with enough wrong-answer options can also be presented in multiple-choice format, giving you flexibility when running your round.

Questions are organised by category, optional subcategory, and tags to help you find exactly what you need. Current top-level categories include General Knowledge, Entertainment, Music, History, Geography, Science & Nature, Sport, Arts & Literature, Food & Drink, Technology, People & Biography, and Miscellaneous. The category list may evolve as the content library grows.

Question difficulty is initially set by the author when they upload a question. Once the question is downloaded by other users, those owners can submit a difficulty vote to help refine it. Over time, the community-agreed difficulty is displayed on the question, helping hosts build rounds with the right challenge level.

Every question can be used as an open answer question. When a question has enough contributed wrong-answer options (distractors), hosts can optionally present it in multiple-choice format. This increases the question's usefulness and flexibility for all hosts who own it.

You can contribute wrong answers to any question you own access to. The first options you add — those that unlock multiple-choice mode — earn a higher token reward; additional options earn a smaller reward. Exact reward amounts are shown in-app and may change over time.

Hosting a Quiz

From your owned bundles, select a bundle and launch a quiz session. Two views are available:

  • Host Script — your private view, with questions, answers, and pacing notes.
  • Audience View — a clean, full-screen display for your projector or screen, with answers hidden until you choose to reveal them.
Quality & Trust

Beyond a simple star rating, you can perform optional deeper checks on questions you own:

  • Factual accuracy — is the answer definitively correct?
  • Category/difficulty relevance — is it classified appropriately?

These checks earn a small additional token reward each and improve the quality signals that help other hosts find trustworthy content. They are optional — a quick star rating alone is always sufficient.

Ratings, validation checks, and difficulty votes from real hosts who have used the content keep the library accurate and reliable. Users can flag questions they believe are incorrect or miscategorised, and repeated low-quality contributions are subject to review. This community-driven approach means the content gets better the more it is used.

Yes — token rewards, bundle prices, and daily limits are all periodically reviewed and tuned. The figures shown in-app are always current. This FAQ provides a general guide; always refer to the platform itself for the latest numbers.
