How to run a BTS trivia game

Run a BTS trivia game in four steps: pick a host, play the easy, medium and hard rounds from this page, use the chart records as a bonus round, then finish with a round of BTS songs.

  1. Pick a host and a screen. The host reads each question aloud from this page, on a TV, laptop or phone. Answers stay blurred until someone taps them, or tick "Show all answers" to check them at the end.
  2. Play three rounds. Easy, then medium, then hard. A simple scoring: 1 point for an easy answer, 2 for a medium one and 3 for a hard one.
  3. Add a bonus round. The records questions are about real chart history, a good tie breaker.
  4. Finish with music. Host a live BTS blind test: one screen plays the clips and everyone answers on their phone. No account is needed to join.
