Terms.

Last updated: October 2026.

The deal

Thinking Cap is a trivia night app. Hosting and playing are free, with no ads. Use it in pubs, offices, classrooms, clubs and at home, including at nights where entry is charged. Players are never asked to pay.

Your questions

Quizzes you write or import are yours. You are responsible for what you put in them, including pictures you link to, and for having the right to use them in front of an audience.

Team names and answers

The host decides what appears on the screen and can rename any team. Please keep names fit for the room you are in.

Purchases

Hosts can buy extras: AI rounds (each writes one checked AI round, after the free ones each day); a hosting plan, sold on the web at host.thinkingcaptrivia.com, one at a time: Host (monthly), Venue (monthly, or a six-month season that does not renew) or Pro (monthly), each with AI rounds each month, where moving up replaces the plan you have at the end of its period; and Empyreal Games Supporter (one monthly membership for every Empyreal game, with AI rounds each month in Thinking Cap). Monthly rounds refresh each month and do not carry over. Subscriptions need an account. In the apps the App Store or Google Play processes the payment under its terms; on the web, Stripe does. Monthly purchases renew until you cancel them, in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions or, for a web purchase, from Settings; cancelling keeps them until the end of the period you paid for. AI rounds you bought never expire, and are yours whether or not you are a Supporter. Refunds follow the store's rules (Apple and Google handle their own); for a web purchase, write to us. What you buy belongs to the device you bought it on, or to your account if you sign in.

Accounts

Signing in is optional and for hosts. You can delete your account at any time in Settings.

No warranty

Thinking Cap is provided as it is. We work hard to mark answers fairly and to check the questions we supply, but the host has the final say on every answer, and we don't guarantee the service will always be available. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from using it, including the result of a quiz.

Changes

We may update these terms as the app grows; the date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Questions: [email protected].
