Nine round types

Enough variety for a whole evening, without it ever getting boring.

Every round feels different around the table. Mix and match them: start with a classic multiple choice and finish with players trying to pick out the very last tile.

Four answers, one clock. Tap the right answer in time and you score.

Top list

A hidden ranking, like the FIFA top 50. Everyone names one answer: the higher it sits in the list, the more points. Miss the list and you get nothing - play it safe or go bold?

Open question

No options to lean on: everyone types the answer themselves. Spelling won't get in the way - capitals, accents and a single typo still count.

The penalty wheel

Losing has consequences.

The penalty wheel is optional. When it's on, whoever comes last spins it at the end of a round. It can be a shot, a dare, a merciful pardon. What a corporate quiz tool would never allow is simply part of the fun here.

Turn it on or off whenever you like - you decide whether the wheel plays along
Set your own penalties, or stick with the classics

Is Kwishetwel free?

Yes, you start for free. With multiple choice and word association rounds you can run unlimited pub quizzes, including the penalty wheel, and your guests play along for free on their phones. Want more round types (estimation, music, tile board, map, ranking, top list) or to build your own quizzes? Then pick a subscription starting at €3.99 per month.

Do players need an app or an account?

No. Players scan the QR code or type the join code at kwishetwel.com/join in their browser. They pick a name and a photo or animal avatar and jump straight in. No download, no sign-up.

Where can I use Kwishetwel?

Anywhere people are together in one room: a night in with friends on the sofa, a weekly café quiz, a company outing or department drinks. You host, everyone else plays along on their phone.

Which screen does the host play on?

On your laptop, tablet or phone, or on the TV via Chromecast or an HDMI cable. One browser tab for you as the host, your guests' phones for everyone else.

How many people can play?

From a small group to a packed room. Running a big or recurring event, like a weekly café quiz or a company outing? Just get in touch and we'll help you plan.

Can I add my own questions?

With the Ultimate subscription you put together your own rounds and quizzes. On Free, Basic and Plus you choose from our curated round library.

Is Kwishetwel suitable for a company outing or team outing?

Absolutely. Plenty of hosts use Kwishetwel for a company outing, team outing or get-together: you put the quiz up on the big screen and your colleagues play along on their phones, with no app or account. Organizing something big or recurring? Get in touch and we'll help you plan.

Can I run a regular café quiz with it?

Yes. Kwishetwel is built for a proper night out, so a weekly café quiz works perfectly too: you host from the screen in your venue and your guests play along on their phones. For a regular or large quiz night, we're happy to help you plan.

Do I need special software or a download?

No, everything runs in the browser. You host on a laptop, tablet or TV, players join at kwishetwel.com/join on their phones. No app, no install, for anyone.

Is Kwishetwel a Dutch alternative to Kahoot?

You could see it that way. Like other quiz tools, you host on a screen and your guests play along on their phones. But Kwishetwel offers far more variety and challenge than just multiple choice and estimation questions: think a tile board with knock-out, word association against the clock, map questions where you pin the right spot, ranking questions and music rounds. It's built for a real quiz night among friends, with a penalty wheel and you setting the pace.

What do I need to host a pub quiz?

A screen to host on (laptop, tablet, or a TV via Chromecast or HDMI), internet and a free account. Your guests only need their phones. Pick a round from the library and you're ready to go.

Is it Kwishetwel or Kwistetwel?

Kwishetwel! The name comes from the Dutch exclamation "kwis het wel!" (roughly "I do know it!"). People often search for kwistetwel or kwist et wel; however you spell it, you'll find us at kwishetwel.com.
