Quizify: a party quiz that uses the TV as the board and everyone's phone as the buzzer

Quizify is a custom integration that turns Home Assistant into a quiz host. The TV shows the question and a QR code, everyone scans it and answers on their own phone. No app, no account, nothing leaves your instance.

1.9.0 finished Spanish — English, German and Spanish now have the same themed packs. The join screen also shows your own record for the household, and you can request a question pack from inside the app instead of writing the JSON yourself.

4,597 questions across 33 packs. Needs HA 2024.1 or newer, installs through HACS, MIT licensed:

Two things I would like to hear. Which subject is missing for your household — the pack list grows from what people ask for. And whether the join flow works on your network: the QR code carries the address the phones need, and guest WiFi that isolates clients is the one setup where it reliably fails.

Is there native support for other languages?

Yes, three: German, English and Spanish. Each phone picks its own, so two people in the same game can be reading different languages.

The question library is split evenly across them: 36 packs, 12 per language, about 1,580 questions each. The Spanish packs were written as Spanish packs rather than run through a translator.

One gap: the optional spoken narration only has German and English phrases, so a Spanish game gets narrated in English.

Adding a language needs no code change, just an i18n bundle and the pack files. Say which one you want and I will check what the packs would take.
