Custom Jeopardy games, $7.3K a month, self-reported: phone buzzers

Buzzinga is a platform for creating and hosting custom Jeopardy games with phone buzzers, automatic scoring, and remote host controls. Its $7.3K a month was reported by the founder in an interview (not independently verified), as of July 18th, 2025.

What it actually sells

Buzzinga is an online platform for creating and hosting custom Jeopardy games. Its listed users are game hosts, classrooms, corporate trainers, organizations, and social-event hosts. The site describes it as “Perfect for game nights, classrooms, corporate trainings, and social events.”

Players tap their phones or devices to buzz in. Buzzinga handles buzzer lockouts and resets, updates scores automatically, and lets hosts modify or undo a score with one click. Hosts can run the show from a device, with answers visible at a glance.

How it charges

The free plan supports up to 3 players. Buzzinga Pro adds unlimited players and customization, including logos, images, audio, video, AI-generated categories, and unlimited players. Buzzinga Teams provides shared workspaces, seat management, private libraries, role-based access, and organization branding.

Where customers come from

The pages show a game preview, a free-to-try game called Spinorama without signup, and an FAQ section. They also present Buzzinga Teams as “One shared workspace for your whole team.”

Where it sits in the data

Buzzinga's $7.3K a month is higher than 63% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, demand would come from hosts who need a structured Jeopardy-style activity for classrooms, corporate training, game nights, and social events. The buyer can be an individual host, classroom, trainer, organization, or social-event host, with the product serving both casual sessions and team workflows.

Distribution would need a clear path to those buyers through search, communities, events, partnerships, and direct outreach. Building it would require reliable real-time participation, device compatibility, content editing, scoring, hosting controls, and support. A free preview and free-to-try experience can reduce the first-use barrier, while organizations require permissions, shared libraries, and dependable administration.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Buzzinga packages a specific activity into a focused product: custom Jeopardy games, phone buzz-ins, automatic buzzer management, automatic scoring, remote host control, customization, and shared team workspaces.
