You stream music. What if your next listen asked a question?

Music streaming changed what it means to put something on. A listening session can start with a mood, a familiar favourite or a little curiosity about what comes next.

Now imagine the next thing you play asks you a question. You listen, think for a moment and answer out loud. Someone else in the room has a different answer. Suddenly, listening has become a game.

That is the idea behind “stream a quiz”.

Your next listen has a part for you

Quizy is a spoken quiz on your iPhone. You set up a game in the app, hear the host read a question and answer after the host finishes. The game keeps track of turns and scores, so the person who organised the evening can play too.

The phrase “stream a quiz” describes that connected listening-and-speaking experience. Quizy needs an internet connection. You choose a quiz pack in the app, then join the game by speaking.

From singing along to answering back

There is a small but enjoyable change when the audio leaves space for your reply. You are no longer only following along; you have a turn.

Try it in the living room after dinner, at the kitchen table with a friend, or on your own when you feel like a few questions. A comfortable place to speak is more useful than an elaborate setup. In a shared game, place the phone where everyone can hear it and the microphone can hear the person answering.

The host reads the question, then you give your answer. Need to hear it again? Say “say that again”. Want to move on? Say “pass”. For a fuller walkthrough, read what changes when a quiz is spoken.

Pick a subject for the room

The best subject is often one that gives everyone a way in. Music knowledge might suit a room full of record collectors; animals or a broader mix might suit a different evening. Browse the current selection in Quizy and choose a pack that fits the people playing.

You do not need to nominate a quizmaster or prepare a list of questions. The host takes that role, leaving everyone else free to play.

Make room for a round

Classic offers 10- and 20-minute sessions. Allow time to set up, choose the people and pack, and get comfortable before starting. Setup uses the screen; the questions and answers are spoken. Background noise can make it harder for the host to hear you, so a quieter spot helps.

Free use is limited, with purchases and plans available in the app. Check the current access details before choosing your session.
