Casino and Tabletop
This game show soundboard opens with the game show buzzer, then adds a gong, a referee whistle and the bells that tell a contestant they are right or wrong, plus dice, cards and poker chips for the table. Every game show sound effect plays in your browser, on a phone or a computer, with nothing to install.
Game Show Buzzer and Bell Sounds
The game show buzzer is the sound of a wrong answer, a time out or a hand that was too slow, and it is the first thing most people look for here. Next to it sit the bells and the gong: a ding for a correct answer, a gong to open a round or to close one. Hit them on cue and any quiz night, classroom review or living room trivia game starts to feel like a studio.
Applause, Drumrolls and Sad Trombones
The wins and fails row is for the big moments: a drumroll before the answer, a fanfare or a jackpot for the winner, applause from the studio crowd and a sad trombone, a boo or an aww for the one who got it wrong.
Whistles, Timers and Sports Sounds
A referee whistle stops play, starts it again and settles an argument about whose turn it is. Use it to call time on a round, a tie break or a speech that has gone on too long. It also works for any sports bit, a kids' game day or a party game with rules.
Casino and Tabletop Sounds
For games played around a table there are card shuffles, dice rolls and poker chips clacking together. They set the scene for a board game night, a poker night or a casino themed party, and they make a mock game show feel like the real thing.
Run Your Own Quiz Night
Keep this page open next to a trivia game, a classroom quiz or a family game night and tap the right sound as each answer lands: buzzer for wrong, bell for right, gong for the final round. On a call, play the sounds through your speakers so everyone can hear them. For more reactions, try the podcast soundboard and its applause and rimshots, or the full soundboard.

Questions, Answered
How do I use the game show soundboard?
Tap any button and the sound plays straight away in your browser. Tap it again to stop, press Random game show sound for a surprise, or Stop to cut whatever is playing. It works the same on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
Is there a game show buzzer sound?
Yes. The game show buzzer is the first sound in the buzzers and bells row, the loud, short wrong answer sound from every quiz show.
Is there a correct answer sound?
Yes. Correct answer dings and a ding ding ding sit in the buzzers and bells row, right beside the wrong answer buzzers, so you can switch between right and wrong in a tap.
Can I use these sounds for a quiz night or a classroom?
Yes. Open the board on a laptop or a phone and tap the sounds as answers come in. The buzzer, the bells and the whistle suit trivia nights, classroom reviews, family game nights and party games.
Does it have a referee whistle sound?
Yes. The whistle is in the whistles and sports row, ready to stop play or call time.
Are the game show sounds free?
Yes. Every game show sound on the board is free to play, with no sign-up and nothing to install.
Does the game show soundboard work on a phone?
It works in any browser on an iPhone, an Android phone, a tablet, a Mac or a PC. Phones only play sound after a tap, so the first sound starts the moment you press a button.
For fun and games. Keep the volume sensible so a buzzer does not startle anyone.
