Definitely not. Most quiz apps are basically dull forms on a screen. Chronos is an interactive game show that transforms your living room into a high-end TV studio. We focus on adrenaline, time pressure, and real human interaction. No multiple-choice questions where everyone stares at their own phone, but a verbal battle where people look each other in the eye.
Outsmart the questions. Outrun the clock.
Cozy evenings just got an adrenaline injection. Host the ultimate trivia night.
Cozy, competitive, and thrilling. All the tension of prime-time television, none of the commercial breaks.
TIME IS A WEAPON
Correct answers bank time. Mistakes burn it. Hit zero and you're out. It’s the perfect mix of party game chaos and game show tension.
SIGHTS, SOUNDS, AND MILD PANIC
We extracted the tension of professional game shows and shoved it into your browser. Studio-grade visuals, reactive audio, pure adrenaline.

Stays on your devices. Local-first hosting guarantees that your private quizzes with hyper-specific inside jokes and catastrophic failures never touch our servers. We honestly don't want to know.
NO COMMITMENT, JUST CHAOTIC FUN
No subscriptions. Grab a Day Pass for less than a round of spilled drinks at a crowded bar, host a legendary game night, and we'll see you next time.
THE SETUP
Three simple steps. No IT degree required.
01
1. THE QUIZMASTER
Grab a laptop or phone and claim the master dashboard. You pick the quiz, judge the answers, and control the clock. Absolute power over the evening, straight from your browser.
02
2. THE ARENA
Connect one device to the TV, or scatter multiple screens around the room. Your audience sees the player screen: high-end visuals, a ruthless scoreboard, and seconds ticking away.
03
3. THE PLAYERS
Forget buzzers or controller apps. Instead of staring at screens, everyone plays face-to-face and says answers directly to you. Correct answer? Up to you to beef up their clock. Wrong, stuttering, or panicking? You press the button and their time burns away.
How many people can play? You can start a duel with just two players (plus one quizmaster), or play with up to four individual players. Bigger group? Divide the room into up to four teams. We recommend keeping it under 16 people, purely to keep the rivalries highly personal. If you really love chaos, more is absolutely fine too.
Time is Your Score
Forget complicated point systems. Your clock is your life. Correct answers bank precious seconds, while hesitation and thinking burn them away. Hit zero and you're out.
Speak to Play
No buttons or buzzers. You call out answers verbally to the Quizmaster, who keeps the pace and controls the clock. When playing in teams, you'd better make sure the distinction between a thought and an answer remains clear to the quizmaster.
Merciless Stealing
Think twice before guessing or passing. Mistakes don't just cost you time, they give the next team the chance to steal your precious seconds.

FAQ
Everything you want to know about Chronos, setup, privacy, and support.
Concept and vibe
We analyzed iconic elements from successful game shows like De Slimste Mens, Blokken, and Eén tegen Allen, then translated them to a modern digital experience. The ticking-clock tactics, stealing time, and final-arena tension are all deeply embedded in our DNA. It is the ideal way to experience that TV-level suspense yourself with friends or family.
Typing is slow and kills the game's pace. Saying answers to the Quizmaster creates a much more dynamic, face-to-face atmosphere. The Host controls the chaos and stops the clock as soon as a correct answer lands. That leads to lively, social, and sometimes heated debates, the kind that makes a legendary game night.
Tech and setup
No. Chronos is fully browser-based. You do not need App Store or Play Store downloads. If you have a device with a browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge), you are ready to play. The Quizmaster hosts on a laptop or desktop and shares the screen to the TV. Players scan a QR code and instantly turn their own phone into a controller.
Absolutely. You can easily cast the Quizmaster tab to your TV via Chromecast or AirPlay. You can also use the browser directly on a smart TV, but for the smoothest experience we recommend connecting a laptop over HDMI. That is where the high-end graphics and reactive audio shine most.
No stress. Chronos is built with modern web technology that handles small connection dips. Because we use a P2P (Peer-to-Peer) connection between devices in the room, latency stays minimal. If a player drops out, they can rejoin instantly through the QR code without pausing the session.
Privacy and data
Privacy is one of our core pillars. We use a privacy-by-design architecture. With local-first hosting, your quiz questions and data are exchanged directly between your own devices. Nothing you upload (like awkward team photos) is stored on our servers. That makes Chronos one of the most privacy-friendly options for companies and sensitive data.
No. Never. There are no ads and we do not track behavior to build profiles. The only data we see is what is needed to process payment and technically run the session. As we say on our About page: we genuinely do not want to know your inside jokes.
Roles and gameplay flow
Chronos shines with 2, 3, or 4 teams. A team can be one person or an entire couch squad. The interface scales automatically, so the tension stays optimal for different group sizes. The Quizmaster is the only person not playing, since they run the show from the dashboard.
Yes, and that is where the real magic starts. With our built-in editor, you can build a legendary custom quiz in no time. Add your own questions, images, and audio clips. Prefer to play instantly? Dive into our library full of ready-to-play quizzes with professional quality.
Payments and support
We hate subscriptions you can never escape from. You will probably use Chronos for specific moments: a birthday, a weekend away, or Friday drinks. With our Day Pass, you get 24 hours of full access. You only pay when you actually play. That is just fair.
Hi, I'm Sam! Even though I build Chronos solo alongside a full-time job and fatherhood, I am deeply involved with users. Found a bug or have a brilliant round idea? You can reach me directly via the feedback link or on GitHub. I might not reply within a minute (diaper duty can win), but I always follow up.
Every euro you spend on a Day Pass goes straight to server costs and continued Chronos development. You are supporting an independent developer who believes social quiz nights can be better. No investors or giant corporate machine, just pure passion for the game.
