How to play Qwezmo

1. Create a quiz

From the home screen tap Create game. You pick the topic (anything from World capitals to 90s anime opening themes), the difficulty, one to three vibes for the writing tone (Funny, Professional, Study, Kids, or Adult 18+), the output language, the per-question answer timer, and how many questions the round should have. The backend generates the quiz through Google Gemini as the primary model and silently falls back to OpenAI if Gemini is unavailable, so the whole thing normally completes in a handful of seconds.

The first time you start an Adult (18+) room on a given browser, Qwezmo shows a short age confirmation. That is stored locally on your device so you do not have to reconfirm every game.

2. Share the PIN or invite link

Once the quiz is ready, the lobby shows a six-digit PIN, a one-tap copy button, and a shareable invite link. Project the lobby on a TV or laptop, tell the room the PIN, or drop the invite into your group chat. Guests who open the invite land directly on the join screen with the PIN pre-filled.

3. Join on any phone

1. Open qwezmo.com in your phone browser.
2. Tap Join with PIN and type the host's six digits, or open the invite link directly.
3. Pick a nickname and an emoji. No email, no password, no app install.
4. Wait in the lobby - you can watch the other players land in real time.

4. Play a round

When the host starts the game, every device shows the first question and four answer tiles. Tap the answer you think is correct before the per-question timer runs out. Faster correct answers score more points; wrong answers are worth nothing; timing out is treated as a miss.

Between questions you will see the reveal (which answer was correct and an optional explanation) and then a short leaderboard screen, so everyone can heckle the front-runner before the next round starts. Streaks - consecutive correct answers - pick up extra flair on the scoreboard.

5. End-game results

After the final question the app shows a podium for the top three, a full answer key (with the explanations the AI wrote), and every player's personal rank. From there the host can start a rematch with the same group, generate a fresh quiz on a new topic, or send everyone home.

6. Tips for hosts

• Room size: two to ten players is the sweet spot. With more, consider splitting into two parallel rooms.
• Topic phrasing: specific beats generic. Premier League 2024-25 season will give you sharper questions than football.
• Vibe fit: Funny is the crowd-pleaser, Professional and Study tilt toward drier, more knowledge-forward questions, Kids keeps it family-safe, and Adult (18+) can go much further. Only use Adult with a room of consenting adults, and note that Kids and Adult cannot be combined.
• Keep the host tab open: the host drives the round flow. Locking the screen or backgrounding the tab for too long can stall the room.
• Share the PIN early: post it in the group chat before people arrive so latecomers are not asking you to repeat it during question one.
• Disputes happen: AI questions occasionally miss a detail. As host, you are the tiebreaker - a party quiz is for fun, not for a sanctioned ranking.

Resume a recent game

If you hosted or joined a game recently, the home screen surfaces a shortcut back to that lobby, live game, or finished results page while the server still has it. Hosts can also open My games to replay the answer key for sessions still inside our short retention window. Rooms and their quiz content are ephemeral once that window lapses.

FAQ

Is Qwezmo free to play?

Yes. Qwezmo is free for hosts and players, with no account required. On-site ads and optional affiliate links help cover the Gemini and OpenAI API bills so we do not need to charge for normal party play.

Do I need an account or an app to join?

No. Players open qwezmo.com on any modern phone or laptop browser, enter the host's PIN or open the invite link, and pick a nickname. There is no install and no signup.

How many players can join one room?

Rooms work best with roughly two to ten players. More is still playable, but large rooms get noisy and answer times stretch. For very big groups, consider running two rooms in parallel.

Can I pick the topic of the quiz?

Yes - the host types a topic of their choice when creating a game. The AI generator uses it, together with the difficulty, vibe, and language you pick, to write fresh multiple-choice questions on the fly.

Why did I get a weird or wrong question?

Questions are produced by large language models (Gemini as primary, OpenAI as fallback). They occasionally hallucinate, miss a subtle fact, or phrase something awkwardly. Hosts can choose to overrule the answer key when the room clearly disagrees; treat Qwezmo quizzes as entertainment, not a reference source.

Can I save or replay a quiz I just played?

If you hosted recently, the home screen offers a shortcut back to recent rooms and a My games page lists sessions still inside our short retention window. Rooms themselves are ephemeral: once the retention window lapses, the quiz and scores are pruned and cannot be replayed.
