StockTap TV Quiz machine alternative
Thinking of a pub quiz machine? Put the quiz on every TV instead
Everybody loved the old quiz machine. But a cabinet in the corner is one or two people at a time, it takes up a wall, and a second-hand one is a gamble. StockTap TV puts the quiz on every TV in the pub instead. Everyone plays at once on their own phone, and a new round starts every 20 minutes, all day.
No cabinet to buy, nothing to empty. £34 a month for the whole pub. Nothing extra to pay.
Quiz machine or quiz on the TVs?
| A quiz machine | StockTap TV | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can play | One or two at the cabinet | The whole pub at once, on their phones |
| Where | One corner | Every TV you've got |
| New questions | Depends on the machine | Over 6,000 in, a new round every 20 minutes |
| Space | A cabinet and a plug socket | Nothing new. Uses your TVs |
| Your offers | No | On every TV between rounds |
| Cash | Coins in, cash prizes out | Free to play. Prizes you choose, like a bar tab |
Fair's fair: if your regulars want a cash-prize machine they can feed coins into, this isn't that. There's no money in and no money out.
The same buzz, on every screen
Five quick questions a round, with a timer. The fastest right answers score most, and lightning zaps across every TV and phone when a round starts. A golden round once a day is worth double.
Players see their score on their phone and the leaderboard on the TVs, and there's a weekly and monthly winner with a prize you set.

Your town's daily 5
Five questions a day named after your town, one go each, a score card to share and a streak bonus for playing every day. The sort of thing people used to put a pound in the machine for, except now it brings them back tomorrow.

Quiz machine questions
Do I need to buy any hardware?
Usually not. Any screen that can open a web page will do: a smart TV's browser, a TV stick or an old laptop with an HDMI lead.
Do customers pay to play?
No. It's free for them. The pub pays £34 a month for every TV.
Can I give prizes?
Yes. You choose the weekly and monthly prizes, like a bar tab. We use a £20 weekly bar tab at Teal Farm.
