For trainers and L&D teams
Check that onboarding actually stuck, wake up a Friday meeting or open the all-hands with an icebreaker. Participants join from their phones in seconds. You get a per-question report on screen and, on the Host Plan, a CSV you can file.
At a glance
How it works
From the handbook to a report you can attach to the training record, in three steps.
Paste the onboarding material, the policy update or the product sheet (up to 15,000 characters) and let the AI draft up to 20 multiple-choice questions with explanations, or write your own with six question types. Set a time limit per question, pick a colour theme and choose how points work. The AI quiz generator page shows what a draft looks like.
Share the host screen on the meeting-room TV or in the video call. The lobby shows a QR code and a six-digit PIN; participants scan it or type the PIN at zappyq.com/join and pick a nickname. The question and the answers appear on their own phones, so remote colleagues play on equal terms.
The report shows the answer distribution for every question and flags the ones fewer than 35 % got right, so you know what to repeat. On the Host Plan you download the results as a CSV with each participant's answers, points and response times, ready for your LMS or the training record.
Use cases
Short, live and on everyone's own phone. These are the sessions the tool was built around.
End week one with ten questions on the handbook, the tools and the people. The report tells you which topics the new hire needs a second pass on.
Short checks after a security or safety briefing. The CSV lists who answered what, with response times, so you can document that the briefing was followed up.
Five questions on the week's news, product trivia or the team's inside jokes. Speed scoring and a streak bonus keep it competitive.
A poll question with no right answer to warm up the room, then a quick quiz on the quarter's numbers. The Host Plan has no player cap.
Close a workshop with a type-the-answer round on the key terms, then put the hardest questions on screen and discuss them.
Quiz the field team on the new release. Image questions let you show the interface and ask what the button does.
Reports
Exactly what the product produces today, nothing more.
Scoring modes: speed (full points for a fast correct answer, falling to half at the deadline), flat (same points for every correct answer, better for assessments) or accuracy (one point per correct answer). A streak bonus is optional in every mode, and polls never score.
Time limit from 5 to 240 seconds per question, optional reading time before answers unlock, randomised question and answer order, and double or zero points on individual questions.
Four colour themes (Classic, Ocean, Sunset, Forest) for the host and player screens, and an image on any question. Lock the game once everyone is in, or remove a participant at any time.

Security and data
What we can say honestly. No certifications are claimed, because we hold none.
Participants join with a nickname. ZappyQ processes only that nickname, their answers and their scores; we do not ask for email addresses or names. Every game is deleted automatically 24 hours after it is created.
Hosts have an account with an email address and a hashed password. Host Plan payments go through Stripe; card numbers never reach our servers.
ZappyQ is operated by Expi AB in Sweden under GDPR. The application servers run on Vercel in Stockholm, and quiz and game data are stored in Upstash. When you use the AI generator, only your prompt is sent to OpenAI (processed in the United States under standard contractual clauses); participant data never goes to an AI service. Transactional email goes through Resend.
We do not hold a SOC 2 report or an ISO 27001 certificate and do not claim one. If your security team needs to review the data flows, the privacy policy lists every sub-processor; write to support@zappyq.com for anything it does not answer.
If you download a CSV, that file lives on your systems and your organisation is the controller for it. Coming from Kahoot!? The Kahoot! alternative page compares plans and limits, and the teachers page covers the same tool in a classroom. Back to the ZappyQ home page.
FAQ
No. ZappyQ runs in the browser. Participants scan the QR code on the shared screen or type the six-digit PIN at zappyq.com/join, pick a nickname and play on their own phone or laptop. Remote colleagues on a video call join the same way. There is no app, no account and nothing for a participant to pay.
Yes, on the Host Plan. ZappyQ's CSV export contains the leaderboard and one row per participant per question with correct yes/no, points and response time. Nicknames are whatever participants typed, so ask them to use their real names if you need to match results to people. On the free plan the same report is shown on screen but cannot be downloaded.
On ZappyQ's free plan, up to 25 players per live game, which covers a team. The Host Plan has no player cap, so a company all-hands joins the same way as a workshop: scan the code or type the PIN. The practical limit is your network and the room, not the plan. You can lock the game once everyone is in.
Partly. ZappyQ offers four colour themes (Classic, Ocean, Sunset and Forest) for the host and player screens, and every question can carry an image, for example a slide or a product screenshot. There is no custom logo upload or custom palette today. If that matters for your event, tell us at support@zappyq.com.
ZappyQ stores your quiz text and live game state on servers in Stockholm (Vercel and Upstash), deletes game data 24 hours after creation and sends only the host's prompt to OpenAI when you use the AI generator. It is not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified. For confidential material, judge it as you would any web tool and read the privacy policy first.
