Why people look for an alternative
Paying by audience size
Event pricing is reasonable for events and awkward for a house. A small group is not the customer those tiers were drawn for.
For a family night the thing worth paying for is not capacity, it is whether the show is about your people.
Strangers need general knowledge, friends do not
A crowd has no shared history, so the questions have to be neutral. That is a constraint, not a feature.
A group with shared history can be asked things no trivia pack could contain, which is where the laughs actually live.

Frequently asked questions
What works for a group of about ten?
Quizriella is built for that size. Scoring can be per person, or players can be paired into teams when there are enough of them to make that worthwhile.
Is Quizriella free?
Yes. A whole show plays for free with simple avatars, coloured discs and emoji for each player. Generating AI photos or clips of your players inside the questions is the paid part, and the cost for the whole show is quoted before anything is generated.
Can we play it on the TV?
Yes. The host can present fullscreen from their phone, or share the show link so it opens on a laptop or a TV browser while the host keeps the controls.
