How it works

The whole setup story fits in 90 seconds. Because that's how long it takes.

LLUMIVIA was designed around one promise: plug in → it plays. No installer, no venue laptop, no host to schedule, no software to learn. Here's how a LLUMIVIA night runs, from the box arriving to your busiest Tuesday ever. We're in early access now — this page describes the launch product our founding venues are getting first.

Day one

From box to playing trivia in under a minute

1

Plug in HDMI + power

The box arrives already bound to your venue — your name on the lobby screen. First boot goes straight to a live trivia loop in under 60 seconds. There is no setup screen. There never is.

2

Connect it (or don't)

Ethernet or your WiFi, set up before the box ships. Internet down? The whole question bank lives on the box, so it keeps playing on the venue network and picks up updates when it is back online.

3

Walk away

That's the whole install. Power cuts, internet outages, someone switching the TV input — it always recovers to playing trivia, never to an error screen.

Every night

Two modes, one leaderboard, zero effort

Autoplay — the show that never stops

Shows of about twenty minutes start themselves, roll into a podium, and start the next one; teams carry over, so a table that walks in mid-show is in from the next question. Seven rounds every show — a warm-up, a category spotlight, Fact or Fiction, a rotating special (flags, Emoji Cinema, closest-wins, Pub Poll and more), a lightning round, the Gauntlet, and a wager finale — with the difficulty tilt and the special round set from the staff console. Between shows, the screen plugs your specials and your events.

Show mode — planned for launch venues

Scheduled flagship nights are on the roadmap. The plan: set a recurring night in the console and the box handles the rest — a countdown attract loop builds anticipation, then a full two-hour, seven-round show runs itself — general knowledge, picture rounds, themed rounds, speed rounds, survey rounds, and a wager finale where teams bet their points (points, never money). Winner ceremony at the end, with whatever prize you've configured — a bar tab, a gift card, bragging rights.

For your guests

  • Scan → team → play in under 15 seconds. No app, no account, no friction.
  • Teams form at the table. One phone answers for the table — huddle, argue, lock it in.
  • The room stays loud. Leaderboards between rounds, an end-of-show podium, and season standings that bring teams back every week.
  • Cheaters lose. Answer-lock windows and speed-weighted scoring make googling a losing strategy.

For you

  • A difficulty dial in the venue console — your crowd, your calibration.
  • Signage that earns its screen time. Promos, specials and local sponsors' ads rotate between rounds, scheduled by day and time — sponsors pay you for that space, on Pro.
  • A Pulse tab that answers one question: is trivia night working? Shows played, average teams, repeat rate, best night.
  • Start, restart, restyle or (on Pro) switch to music bingo from your phone if you ever want to cut in — but you never have to.
  • Local businesses can buy screen time themselves. A shop or restaurant nearby picks an area, pays by card, and its ad runs on bar TVs after we review it — Advertise on bar TVs.

The content

Fresh questions forever — and never a repeat

Most trivia products draw from a fixed library, and your regulars eventually notice. LLUMIVIA's content is built as a pipeline instead: new questions are drafted, put through a hostile verification pass that discards anything it cannot support, and read by a person before they ship — and every reveal on your TV feeds telemetry that retires questions your room proves broken.

  • Your venue never sees the same question twice until the whole pool has played through. Every question shown at your bar is tracked on the box itself.
  • A This Week round, refreshed weekly: light topical questions drafted from the week's headlines that expire on their own, so stale news never airs.

And everything ships clean: PG-13 content, points-only wagering, skill-based prizes, and imagery that's owned or licensed — no gambling exposure, no IP landmines on your TVs.
