Build Your Own Trivia Show: Custom Themes Are Now Live

Trivia has always been about great questions - but the experience matters just as much.

Today, we’re excited to announce a major upgrade to the Gig Game trivia builder: Custom Trivia Themes are officially live. This update gives hosts complete creative control over how their game looks and feels, transforming trivia from a static template into a fully produced show.

From Preset Themes to Creative Freedom

Until now, hosts selected from a set of prebuilt themes. They looked great, but they were one-size-fits-all.

Now, hosts can build their own visual theme from the ground up, choosing different animated backgrounds for each screen of the game. That means your trivia night can evolve visually as the game progresses - building anticipation, energy, and momentum just like a live production.

You’re no longer picking a theme. You’re directing a show.

Design the Flow of Your Game

With Custom Themes, you can independently set backgrounds for:

• Wait to Start
• Introduction
• Rounds Selection
• Category Selection
• Scores Screen
• Credits Screen

Want a bold, cinematic intro that transitions into a high-energy game night vibe? A dramatic scores reveal? A celebratory finale? You’re in control.

This opens the door to visual storytelling - not just aesthetics.

A Smarter Way to Explore Backgrounds

To support this level of creativity, we completely redesigned the background selector.

Backgrounds are now organized into intuitive categories, making it easy to browse by mood, style, or use case instead of endlessly scrolling. Whether you’re looking for neon game night energy, stage lighting, cinematic effects, or announcement-style visuals, finding the right background takes seconds.

80+ New Animated Theme Backgrounds

We didn’t just reorganize - we expanded.

This update adds over 80 brand-new animated theme backgrounds, giving hosts an unprecedented range of styles to work with. From retro neon signage and cinematic film effects to stage spotlights, disco vibes, and live-event atmospheres, there’s now a visual language for virtually any audience or venue.

The result: trivia games that feel custom-built, branded, and alive.

Trivia, Reimagined as a Show

This release marks a shift in how we think about trivia.

Gig Game isn’t just about asking questions - it’s about creating moments. Custom Themes empower hosts to match their game to their brand, their venue, their audience, and their personality. Corporate events, bar trivia, festivals, private parties - each can now look and feel intentionally designed.

Because the best trivia nights don’t feel like templates. They feel like productions.

Custom Trivia Themes are live now in the Gig Game builder. We can’t wait to see what you create.
