Local multiplayer trivia · iPhone & iPad
Kweezzie
A local-first party trivia game with quick rounds, tactical power-ups, and live reactions for up to six players.
The product
Built around the job.
Kweezzie turns the devices already on the table into a fast, social trivia game. Friends connect nearby over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, join with a room code, and compete across 14 categories without depending on an internet connection. Speed bonuses, answer streaks, power-ups, reactions, live scoring, achievements, and detailed match stats keep every round moving. Solo practice and SharePlay make it just as easy to sharpen your score or play when everyone is not in the same room.

Problem & decisions
The difficult part is the behavior.
Local multiplayer has to feel immediate while several devices join late, briefly disconnect, or disagree about timing. The game also needs enough tactical depth to stay social without turning setup into work.
- 01
Keep the session local
Multipeer Connectivity moves game state directly between nearby devices, so a room does not depend on an account or backend connection.
- 02
Make one device authoritative
The host resolves timing, scoring, and round state. Clients can recover from a missed update without inventing a second version of the game.
- 03
Design for the table
Room codes, large answer targets, quick reactions, and short result screens keep attention on the people playing rather than on setup.
- Up to 6 players
- 14 categories
- Offline multiplayer
Privacy by design
Your data stays yours.
No accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking. Nearby games travel directly between players’ devices.
Read the full privacy details
Kweezzie does not collect, store, or transmit personal data. There are no accounts, analytics, advertisements, or tracking SDKs.
Nearby play
Local multiplayer uses Apple’s Multipeer Connectivity framework. Game traffic travels directly between nearby devices and is not sent to our servers.
On-device storage
Player preferences, profiles, achievements, and match history remain on the device. Removing the app removes that local data.
Children’s privacy
Because Kweezzie collects no personal data, it does not create or maintain user profiles for children or other players.
