Quiz without login

A live quiz where nobody, not even the host, has to create an account.

Most live quiz tools ask the host to create an account before anything happens, and some ask players to install an app. That is reasonable for a platform that saves your quizzes and reports. It is a hurdle when the whole point is a spontaneous game.

Pling has no accounts at all. Not for the host, not for the players. Here is how a game actually goes:

  1. The host opens pling.theill.com on a phone, laptop or a screen in the room and presses Be the host, then Start quiz.
  2. A six-digit pin appears. The host reads it out or shows the screen.
  3. Everyone else opens the same page, presses Join, types the pin and a name.
  4. The host presses start. Ten questions, twenty seconds each. Correct answers score and faster answers score more.
  5. After every question the leaderboard shows who moved up and down. After the last one, a podium.

Why no login is also good for privacy

Because there are no accounts, Pling has nothing to profile. The only things stored are the name you typed, your answers and your score, tied to the game pin, and they are deleted automatically 24 hours after the game was created. There are no cookies, no analytics and no ads. The full details are on the privacy page.

Does it work on every phone?

Yes. Pling is a plain website, so it runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and laptops. Nothing to install and nothing to update.

How does that compare to Kahoot?

Kahoot players can also join in the browser without an account, but the host needs a Kahoot account to create and run a game. If you already have one and a quiz prepared, Kahoot is quick too. If you have neither, Pling is faster. See Pling vs Kahoot.
