Mini games

QuizXpress offers a variety of minigames. Minigames, which are games of luck or skill, will spice up your game show or trivia night by offering something different from trivia! Points can be won or lost with the games.

Mini games can be included in a quiz, they can be started on the fly from QuizXpress Director, or they can be ran standalone using the mini game launcher. Please refer to Majority Rules for more information.

You can buy the mini games in our online shop, after which you will receive an upgrade of your license. Mini games are a one-time purchase; they remain part of the license upon renewal, at no additional cost. Please note that mini games are not available in the QuizXpress home license.

Currently 14 mini games are available, of which 3 are freely available in the QuizXpress installation.

  • A full 3D virtual horse race minigame where the audience can bet on a horse using their wireless keypads, after which a race will run with a random outcome. Points will be added based on the outcome of the race.

  • A card game where the audience needs to survive several cards by correctly predicting the next card (red/black or higher/lower) to gain points.
