Any room · any Tuesday · doors at 7
Real games. Real rooms.
Real nights out.
The live-events community for any room with people in it: bars, breweries, backyards, banquet halls, firehouses, and the family reunion. Trivia, karaoke, bingo, sports pick'em, and four more. Out in the world, with people.
Round 1 · straight from a live game
Their phone. Your screen.
The whole room playing.
These are real screenshots from a live game. Players scan a QR code and play from their phone browser. The venue TV shows the question, the reveal, and a leaderboard with everyone's name on it.
In their hand · trivia: tap, lock, talk trash
On the big screen · every team, every round, live
Round 2 · two ways in
The game is the excuse.
The friends are the point.
Brainflood works on both sides of the mic. Show up to a room and find your people, or run the room and turn it into a real gig.

Round 3 · eight modes, one Event
Pick a night, mix the modes
Same dashboard, same crowd-tested mechanics. Trivia Tuesdays, Karaoke Thursdays, Pick'em Sundays. Or all three of them in one night, because Brainflood treats a night as an Event that holds whatever activities you want.
12,000+ questions across 15 categories. MC, T/F, short answer, plus picture, audio, and music rounds.
Full KJ dashboard with four presets. Trivia between songs earns skip-the-line passes. Tip jar built in. The queue mostly runs itself.
A clip plays, teams name the artist and the song. Each half scores on its own, so half-right still gets on the board.
5×5 grid, Daily Doubles, Final round with team wagers. This is the one that works for corporate nights.
Live NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and soccer. Pick the games, lock one for double points if you nail it.
Speed-buzzer trivia. Phones turn into buzzers. Answers under three seconds. The room gets loud.
Bracketed championship nights. Same teams, real rivalries, one trophy on the line.
One standings table teams climb all season. Points pile up week to week, and a public page keeps the race live.
Teams write fake answers. Everyone votes. The room loses its mind. Balderdash energy without the $40 box.
5×5 cards, four ways to win. Sometimes the question is the call.
Intermission · one night on tape
Anatomy of a Tuesday
A night is one Event that holds whatever you book into it. The host taps next. The room never sees the seams.
Swap in bingo, pick'em, or a bracket. The tape is yours. Tap a beat to see it up close.
Round 4 · for players, the full community
A community that follows you across every venue you walk into
Everyone needs a third place. This is one: a QR code, your name, and regulars who know it by week three.
Public venue directory. Search by city or venue, see what's coming up, RSVP to save your spot. No login required.
Make a permanent team with a 6-letter code. Roster, rivalries, season stats. Same crew every Tuesday.
Climb a league table that carries over week to week. Check where your team sits any time on a public standings page.
Earn Glory in trivia, karaoke, sports picks, and tournaments. One leaderboard across all of them.
After a few games your profile shows which categories you crush and which ones need work. Beginner through expert.
Public boards, team-only boards (auto-created), reactions, mentions, threaded replies. 1-to-1 and group DMs with mute controls.
Badges for milestones, global Glory leaderboard with paginated standings, post-game recaps with color commentary.
Weekly trivia, biweekly karaoke, monthly tournaments. RSVP with party size, get notified of changes, never miss your spot.
Permissions by role, soft-delete with reasons, board-scoped or global bans, automated content screening. Safety isn't an afterthought.
Round 5 · for hosts, the full gig
Real venues. Real money.
One good gig pays for the whole year. Everything after that is yours.
Base pay + crowd tips + venue bonus + tournaments + corporate gigs + sponsors + recurring team subs. Side hustler ($800/mo) to full-time pro ($8,000+/mo).
Tell it what the night is. Wedding, brewery trivia, office party. It builds the rounds, writes the questions, makes a slideshow from the photos you drop in, and hands you a run-of-show. The project sticks around so you can pick it back up later.
Run weekly nights at three different venues without juggling three logins. Per-venue branding, slideshows, tickers, and skins.
Run a recurring season on top of your normal nights. Points accrue on their own when a night ends, and a public standings page keeps regulars coming back.
See which categories hit, which nights grow, and which venues actually keep people coming back. Then do more of what works.
Drag rounds around on a timeline and watch a live preview. Hate a question? Hit rotate and get a matched replacement from the same category. Save a night that worked and run the same shape next week.
Run it fully automated, hybrid, or all you. Auto Host can read the questions, grade answers, and keep the pace. Or grab the mic whenever the room needs a human. Four voices: Witty, Professional, Casual, Snarky.
Your own public page at app.brainflood.com/h/yourname. Schedule, venues, and a Follow button so regulars get notified when you post a new night.
Design promo flyers with an auto-QR pointing to your host site. Print everything to run a paper game night: answer sheets, scorecards, bingo cards, run-of-show, answer key.
12 deep articles: hosting craft, equipment, finding venues, marketing, taxes & LLC, scaling to multi-host. Free, no email gate.
Legacy hosting platforms charge $49–$150+/mo and take a cut of your gig. Brainflood charges $19/mo, takes nothing else, period.
