Sound Familiar?

You've been doing this
the hard way.

Every host knows the routine. Patch together three tools, rebuild everything from scratch, cross your fingers before showtime.

📊

The Scoring Spreadsheet

Tabs for teams, formulas that break mid-game, manual totals you're calculating while also trying to entertain a room full of people.

📽️

The Slideshow Presentation

Rebuilt fresh every week. Questions, categories, transitions, answer reveals — all maintained by hand, separately from your scores.

📄

The Question Document

Your questions live somewhere else entirely. Copy-paste into the slides. Copy-paste into the spreadsheet. Pray nothing's out of sync by showtime.

The Switch

Three tools that don't talk to each other.
One that's always on your side.

From 2+ hours of weekly prep to about 20 minutes. Everything your game needs, connected from the start.

The Best of Both

Players get pen and paper.
You get a production team.

The magic of bar trivia isn't the technology — it's the debate at the table, the team name on the answer slip, the groan when the answer is obvious. We keep all of that.

For Your Players

Familiar, fun, and social.

Players write their answers on paper slips, huddle with their team, and debate every question. The analog experience that makes bar trivia what it is.

  • Answer slips, team names, bucket drops
  • Questions on screen, readable from any seat
  • Scores revealed dramatically, at your pace
  • No app to download, no QR codes

For You

One screen. Full control.

Your console shows the question, your notes, the scoring panel, and a live preview of the venue screen — all in one place, nothing to juggle.

  • Scores tracked automatically as you enter them
  • Live venue display updates in real time
  • Built-in host script for every moment
  • Venue promos rotate on screen automatically

What's Inside

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

ShowVolt Game Builder

Card Bank + Game Builder

Build once. Use forever.

Questions live in a searchable bank by category, type, and tags. Pull cards into a game, drag to order, mark it ready. Done in minutes.

ShowVolt Live Console

Live Console

Whether it's 4 teams or 40 — the software runs it flawlessly.

Score every team with a tap. Handles the math, flags unscored teams, and keeps your attention where it belongs — on the room.

ShowVolt Script Editor

Host Script

Your teleprompter. Your words.

Write your welcome and rules once. ShowVolt surfaces them at the right moment — so your intro is always polished, even on a rough night.

ShowVolt Feud Mode

Multiple Game Formats

Standard trivia. Feud night. More coming.

Full Family Feud-style games with survey answers, placement scoring, and a Final round — same platform, different night.

How It Works

From questions to showtime
in three steps.

1

Build Your Card Bank

Import your existing questions or create new ones. Organize by category, tag by theme, and build a library that grows with your shows.

2

Assemble Your Game

Pull cards into game slots, drag to reorder, and mark ready. Structure, script, and display settings handled automatically.

3

Run Your Show

Console on your laptop. Stage on the venue TV. ShowVolt handles scoring, display, and flow — you handle the room.

The Stage Display

What your players see.

A branded, live-updating display on any screen at the venue. Questions, answers, scores, promos — all controlled from your console.

Fully branded. Your logo, your venue, your background. Players see a professional display. You see your console.

Who It's For

Built for hosts who take their craft seriously.

You've been doing this long enough to know what a good show takes. ShowVolt is for people who are already great at hosting and want software that keeps up.

  • Independent hosts running weekly shows at one or more venues

  • Small hosting companies with multiple hosts and multiple shows per week

  • Hosts building a brand who need their presentation to match the quality of their content

  • Anyone tired of spending Sunday rebuilding the same game they ran last Tuesday

"We've hosted games on paper, on Excel, and on slideshow presentations stitched together the night before. We built ShowVolt because we got tired of the software getting in the way of the show."
