Editing Pub quiz (section)

== Technology ==
In a digital pub quiz, wireless handsets replace the more usual pen and paper. A computer receives and records the answers from each team's handset and the results are exported to a spreadsheet at the end of the quiz. A time limit can be set for each question (e.g. 60 seconds) and it is possible to determine which team answers in the fastest time for spot prizes and tiebreaks. The visual rounds may also use TV screens around the bar to broadcast the clues.

Founded in 1984. [[NTN Buzztime]] was the first company to create and distribute pub quiz software systems to bars and restaurants in 1987.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.buzztime.com/business/the-epic-history-of-buzztime/#:~:text=And%20most%20importantly%2C%20the%20first,Buzztime%20to%20keep%20things%20simple. | title=The Epic History of Buzztime (35 Fun Facts to Celebrate 35 Years) | date=April 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/books/politics-and-business-magazines/ntn-buzztime-inc|title=NTN Buzztime, Inc. &#124; Encyclopedia.com|website=www.encyclopedia.com}}</ref>
