What is BrainBolt?
BrainBolt is a real-time quiz platform that turns any room into a live game show.
You launch a quiz from your device — phone, laptop, tablet — and players join instantly with a 6-character code. No apps to download, no accounts to create. They just open their browser, tap the code in, and start answering. Scores update live, leaderboards shift with every response, and within seconds the room is fully engaged.
It works for everything from a quick icebreaker at a team standup to a multi-week league tournament spanning dozens of teams. Solo Sprint for self-paced individual play, Team Clash for group battles, and League Mode for persistent seasons with automated standings. One platform, every format.
2,400+ teams · 120,000+ questions answered · 30+ countries
Why BrainBolt?
Most quiz tools were built for classrooms — one session, one-off, forget about it. BrainBolt was built for the real world: persistent teams, recurring leagues, millisecond scoring, and zero friction for players.
Zero Friction
Play in 10 seconds. No downloads, no account creation. Players join with a 6-character code from any device — phone, laptop, tablet. Just open, tap, play.
Real-Time Core
Sub-second scoring. Answers are scored in milliseconds and leaderboards update the instant a response arrives. Speed + accuracy = every frame matters.
By Hosts, For Hosts
You control the arena — manual or auto-advance, hidden leaderboards, question reveals, audience muting. Every tool a live host needs to build tension.
Team & League Persistence
Unlike one-off tools, BrainBolt carries rosters and standings across sessions. Run a 6-week league, track team progress, and surface cumulative rankings.
6 Question Formats
True/False, Multiple Choice, Image MCQ, Type Answer, Map Pin, and Closest Number slider — six distinct formats keep every round unpredictable.
Free to Start
Spark plan at UGX 0. No credit card required. Upgrade only when you need more players, more questions, or persistent league structures. Pay-per-session also available.
