Play with your friends using gamepads and mobile devices



Askutron Quiz can be played locally with 8 players on one (preferably big) screen. It supports not only most gamepads with Xbox-compatible layouts, but also the original "Buzz!" Playstation 2/3 controllers (Windows/Mac). Don't have 8 gamepads lying around? No problem, just scan the lobby QR code with your phone and play using the Askutron Buzzer app!

Your friends are not in the same room right now? Don't worry, just invite them via Steam or use the online* match making to find other players! (*: Online mode is still experimental)

Asynchronous Online Multiplayer (Quizatars)



Play against your friends even when they are not online! The game remembers every given answer and allows you to play against your friends' "Quizatars" who will answer exactly like they would.

Or Play Alone: You Against the Community



If you'd rather play alone we got you, too! Play against the latest "Communi-tron", an advanced AI that uses sophisticated machine learning algorithms and is trained on input vectors of all Askutron players (Or in layman's terms: The bot picks the answers that on average have been picked most often by players). Find out if you are above the average!

Various Quiz Modes



Currently the game has five selectable quiz modes that can be mixed freely and will be extended in the future.
  • Point Hunt - Speed is not important, just select the right answer within 25 seconds to get the points
  • Blitz Quiz - The faster you answer, the more points you get
  • Cut the Cake - Players are divided into two team and the first answers decides for the team while answers are only gradually revealed
  • Viewpoints - Players first answer a opinion question and then have to guess the most popular answer
  • Finale - In the finale players get a podium position based on their total score, then every wrong answer can cost you a rank!

Create and share your own quizzes, or play quizzes uploaded by other players



Using the included quiz editor you can create your quiz in any of the supported 18 languages (see below)!

Using Steam Workshop you can upload your own quizzes for other players and download quizzes created by other players.

As many reviews have already stated, this game is not fully working and is longer being supported, so YMMV. Personally, I wanted it to create custom quizzes and also play using original Buzz! controllers. However, and quite unexpectedly, the problems I had were not specifically related with my particular use case. [b] I was able to create custom quizzes and use the Buzz! controllers without much of an issue.[/b] [b] What didn't work was actually loading the quizzes [/b] (some of the game types would not load because of insufficient questions or unknown errors) [b] and [/b], undoubtedly the most unexpected, [b]loading the answers to the questions[/b] (I would start a quiz, the question, host and participants would show up but not the answers, meaning the game would not go on). At first I tried with my custom quiz, but also tried with the standard quizzes and got the exact same results. Also, I tried it on multiple devices (a gaming PC with W10 @ 1440p) and a Steam Deck (on both SteamOS and W10 @ 800p) and noticed the game would take significantly longer on my gaming rig (loading the game and each quiz). On SteamOS, in gaming mode, the controllers were not registered s…

I think this is a great game. And I've tried a lot of online trivia/quiz games. I think it's weakness is the questions. You need better questions and some are not that good. I would love to contribute questions. I think I could really help.
