Classic
Speed pays off
The mode every quiz night starts with. One question at a time on the big screen, everyone answers on their own phone, and the faster you get it right, the more you score.
- Up to 1000 points per question: faster means more
- Top 5 scoreboard between questions
- Podium and confetti for the top 3
Accuracy
Take your time
No race against the clock. Every correct answer is worth the same, however long it takes. Ideal for maths questions, young children or a class where not everyone reads at the same pace.
- Points for being right, not for being fast
- Unlimited time if you like
- Without a timer, the question closes once everyone has answered
Teams
Stronger together
Split the group into teams, each with its own tile. Teams talk it over first, then everyone answers on their own phone. The scoreboard and podium show the teams.
- 2 to 6 teams, assigned automatically or chosen in the lobby
- Team talk before anyone can answer
- Team score = the members' average, so uneven teams stay fair
Assignment
At your own pace
Not a live game but a quiz players do whenever suits them, up to a deadline. Handy as homework, for revision or for anyone who couldn't be there.
- Deadline up to 90 days ahead
- Via link, PIN or QR code, up to 50 players
- The report fills up after every answer
