How to use the online alarm clock
You are midway through the pub quiz when 9:08 pm arrives, so the alarm needs to pull your attention away from the questions without making you lose your place. It can mark a moment to check the score, speak to your team or prepare for the final rounds before 10:00 pm.
In a lively bar, the right alert depends on how much noise surrounds your table. A soft tone may be enough when your phone is beside the answer sheet, while a more persistent sound suits a crowded room where conversation can drown out a brief chime. The selected volume and sound can be checked before the quiz continues. If the browser page is closed or your phone or laptop goes to sleep, the pub quiz reminder cannot sound, so the moment could pass unnoticed.
Once the final answer has been handed in, the rest of the evening can easily stretch later than planned. Treat 9:08 pm as a useful checkpoint for deciding when you intend to leave, especially if tomorrow starts early. Keeping your coat and belongings together near your seat makes departure simpler and protects more of the sleep still available after the quiz.
Common questions
Can I use this on a phone?
It works in a mobile browser, but phones lock the screen and suspend background tabs far more readily than a laptop does, which can stop the alarm sounding. For anything important, a desktop or a plugged-in laptop is the steadier option.
Does the alarm still work if I close the tab?
No. Everything runs inside this page, so closing the tab — or quitting the browser altogether — ends the countdown there and then. Leaving it open in the background is all it asks, and switching to another tab makes no difference.
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 9:08 pm?
The tab sleeps along with it and the alarm will not sound on time, if at all. If you are relying on it, change the power settings so the machine stays awake, or keep a phone alarm running as well.
Do I need an account or an app?
Neither. Choose a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs in this browser tab. Nothing is downloaded, nothing is registered, and closing the page leaves nothing behind on the device.
