Demo videos

Three narrated videos, with captions and transcripts, show quaesito from both sides: what the host and the big screen show, what teams see on their phones, and how quizzes are made.

There is no online demo to try. The closest is the app itself: download it, and play its Demo quiz on your own with 🧪 Test, which shows the big screen and two phones side by side.

For still pictures, see the home page (the big screen next to a phone), question types and running the game.

Playing a quiz

A quiz played on the test page: the big screen on the left, two teams' phones on the right.

How they are made

The voice is generated with Chatterbox, an open-weight text-to-speech model that can sound excited, and the videos are recorded by just demo-video, which drives the app in a headless browser. Each line starts when its caption appears on screen; recordings placed in assets/voice/ replace the generated voice (see assets/README.md).
