Self-hosted quiz-night party game: host questions on your laptop, friends answer by phone — no internet, no accounts, no app installs.
Quaesito is a self-hosted quiz-night party game: the host runs the quiz on their laptop's browser, the questions go up on the TV or projector, and friends join from their phones by scanning a QR code — teams, timed rounds, scoring, a live leaderboard and a winners' podium included. There is no internet requirement, no accounts, and no app to install. Question types cover text, images, video and audio rounds.
In the author's own words, straight from the README: "Fully vibe coded: an AI assistant (Claude) wrote all of its code, tests and docs." The repository — created in October 2026 — already has 145 commits and 3 releases, so this is not a one-shot demo; it is being actively built out with Claude writing the tests and documentation alongside the code.
How a game night worksThe host opens the laptop app and prepares a quiz deck; the board renders on the big screen while each team plays from a phone browser. Rounds are timed, scores roll in live, and the night ends with a podium animation — a full party format without a single install. Because everything runs locally, it works in cabins, basements and bars with dead Wi-Fi.
Under the hoodQuaesito is written in Rust with the Dioxus UI framework, ships as native binaries for Windows, macOS and Linux, and is released as free and open source under the MIT license. The documentation site even walks through exactly how it was made with AI assistance, making the repo a case study in what a fully vibe-coded codebase can look like when tests and docs are written too.
