Table of Contents
Overview
-
Length
3 Questions in each round, for a total of 18 regular, general knowledge Trivia questions. There is a variety of categories and difficulty levels.
There are 3 types of questions in between rounds: 4 Bonus Questions, 1 Halftime Question, and 1 Final Question. Click for more information about how these work. -
Points
You will have three point wagers to use in each round. Once a point wager has been used, the app will remember and gray it out for the remaining questions in that round.
-
Prizes
Ask your host about prizes at the venue where you are playing.
-
Timing
The Trivia Host will read each question aloud once, and then you will have the duration of 1 song – about 3 or 4 minutes – to submit your team’s answer and point wager by clicking the Submit button.

Things to Remember
-
Theme
When you think you have identified the Theme Round, press the Guess Theme button in the top right corner of the app.
-
Two points will be awarded for correct theme guesses.
-
You may guess as many times as you like without penalty and at any point before time expires on the third question in the round.
-
You will see a confirmation notification if the theme guess was submitted.
-
Hints
If you're looking to take your Trivia game to the next level, look no further. Actually, you'll have to scroll down a little bit.
-
Visit www.lastcalltrivia.com for the hints of the week. One of the hints listed on the website will be an answer to one of the questions.
-
You will not be told which hint will be used nor which question it is for, so be on the lookout!
-
Important Note: At Theme Shows, there will be no Theme Round, as the whole game has a common theme and no online hint. Please disregard this section of your gamesheet.
Using the App
-
One Phone
Only one phone per team should be used to answer questions, and all other phones should be kept away. Keep your phone on/unlocked with the gameplay app on the screen to make sure you stay at the same spot as everyone else and are able to submit your answers on time.
-
Auto-Answering
If the Submit button is not pressed by the time the timer runs out, the selected point wager and answer you have typed out will be captured and sent to the Host. We encourage you to manually submit your answer as soon as possible to avoid partial answer submissions. You can only click the submit button once on each answer, so if you accidentally press it before intended, go up and talk to the Host.
-
Troubleshooting
-
Refresh - If at any point during the game you feel like the app is not where it should be, just refresh the page and you will be taken to the correct place in the game.
-
Battery - We encourage you to play around with the gameplay app. Even with everything it does, it still uses very little energy which means it has minimal effect on battery life and data usage.
-
Captain Leaving - The app includes a built-in way for a teammate to sign in to an existing game and pick up where the game left off in case a player’s phone dies. In order for this feature to work, you must add your teammates’ phone number or email to your profile in Settings. You will find Settings by clicking the hamburger stack in the top right corner of your Dashboard.
