Community Guidelines
Trivzip is for fun, friendly, live quizzes. These rules keep it that way for everyone, including the many players who are teenagers. They’re part of our Terms of Use.
The one-line version: host and play the way you would in a room full of strangers, some of them 13.
Never allowed, anywhere
These get content removed straight away and usually an account banned, without a warning:
- Anything that sexualises or endangers a child. We report it to the US National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and keep what the law requires.
- Nudity or sexual content, including sexual jokes aimed at players.
- Hate: attacking people for their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or serious illness.
- Threats, harassment and bullying, including targeting a player by name.
- Graphic violence, or encouraging self-harm, suicide or eating disorders.
- Illegal activity, including selling drugs, weapons or stolen goods.
- Sharing someone’s private information (address, phone number, school, private photos) without their permission.
For hosts
On camera (live video)
- You must be 18 or older.
- Dress and behave as you would for a public event.
- Only show people who’ve agreed to be on camera. Don’t put children on camera unless they’re your own and you have the right to.
- No alcohol or drug use as the focus of the show.
- No smoking, vaping or weapons as the focus of the show.
- Don’t play music or show films, TV or sport you don’t have the right to broadcast. Background music from a streaming app usually isn’t licensed for broadcasting.
Questions and answers
- Write your own questions, or use ones you have permission to use. Don’t copy a whole quiz from a book, show or website.
- Questions can be cheeky but not cruel: no questions designed to mock a group of people or a specific player.
- Keep questions and topics suitable for a 13+ audience in public shows. Private shows can be more grown-up, but the “never allowed” rules still apply.
- Do your best to get answers right. If you spot a mistake, use the correction tool during the show.
Show titles, descriptions and promos
- Say honestly what the show is. No clickbait that promises something the show isn’t.
- Promo photos and videos follow the same rules as live video. Only use music, footage and images you own or have permission to use.
- No adverts for other products or services in a promo, except a simple mention of your own channel or business.
- No links, phone numbers or QR codes in promos that send players somewhere unsafe.
Prizes and money
- Never charge players to join or to win.
- If you offer a prize, deliver it. You’re responsible for following contest laws where you are.
- No gambling, betting with real money, or “pay to play” schemes. Wagers in Trivzip are only points.
For players
Names
- Pick a nickname that’s fine to read out loud to a room of strangers.
- No slurs, sexual names, or names that pretend to be the host, another player, a celebrity or Trivzip staff.
- Don’t use your full real name or anything that identifies your school if you’re under 18. A fun name is fine (leave it blank and we’ll give you one).
- Rude words in names are automatically hidden with symbols.
Answers and reactions
- Typed answers are for answering. Don’t use them to send messages, insults or links.
- Reactions are for cheering, not for spamming. Hosts and we can see if reactions are being misused.
- Don’t use bots, scripts or extra devices to win.
For everyone: profiles and following
- Your @username, display name, picture and bio must follow these rules. No impersonation.
- Your one profile link must go somewhere safe and legal: no adult sites, scams, malware or hate.
- Follow people because you enjoy their quizzes. Don’t use following to stalk, pressure or contact someone who doesn’t want it. You can remove followers and block people.
- Don’t create extra accounts to get around a ban or a limit.
What happens when rules are broken
We look at what happened, how serious it was and whether it’s happened before.
| How serious | What we usually do |
|---|---|
| A mistake or a borderline call (a rude nickname, a mislabelled show) | Hide or change the content and tell you why |
| A clear break of the rules | Remove the content, end a live show if needed, and give a warning. Public hosting may be paused. |
| Repeated or serious breaks | Remove public hosting, suspend or ban the account |
| Anything in “Never allowed” | Remove at once, end the show, ban the account, and report to authorities where the law requires |
- We’ll tell you what we removed and why, unless the law or someone’s safety stops us.
- You can appeal. Reply to our message or write to support@trivzip.com within To be confirmed days. A person will look again and tell you the result.
- Copyright complaints follow the takedown process in the Terms of Use (section 10). People who repeatedly infringe copyright lose their account.
How to report
- In a show: open Report or block (on the website under the show; in the app from the show’s menu). Choose a reason, add details if you like, and send. You don’t need an account.
- A promo: choose “The promo photo or video” in the same report form. It’s hidden straight away while we check it.
- A profile: use Report on the profile. A reported profile photo is hidden straight away while we check it.
- Reasons you can choose: Inappropriate or offensive · Hate or harassment · Spam or a scam · Pretending to be someone else · Something else.
- Block a host from the same menu so their shows stop appearing for you.
- Child safety emergencies: if a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number first. In the US you can also report to NCMEC’s CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678.
- Anything else: email support@trivzip.com.
We review every report, usually within To be confirmed, and faster during live shows when we can. A report never takes a show down by itself; a person decides. Reporting is confidential: we never tell the host who reported them.
