Ask on one screen, answer on many phones
You write the questions in plain text, two to four options each, and mark the right one with a star. Players open the room link on their phones and enter a name; each question appears on the host's screen and on theirs, with a countdown. When time is up or you press reveal, the right option lights up and a scoreboard shows who is ahead.
Points go to the players who chose right, and the earlier the database received the answer, the more it is worth. The correct answers stay in the host's browser until the reveal.
How to play
Questions in, link out.
Write the questions, one block per question with a blank line between them, and put * before the right option.
Open a room from this page, share the link and wait for the players to join.
Start the quiz, reveal each answer and move on, then show the final scores.
What the quiz does
Everything a quiz night needs, without a projector app.
- Up to 30 questions with two to four options each
- 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds per question, revealed automatically at zero
- Points for the right answer, with a bonus for answering earlier
- A count of how many have answered and how the votes split
- A leaderboard after every question and a final podium
Where it works
Wherever phones outnumber screens.
Birthday and New Year parties with a family quiz.
Lessons and revision: a quick check of what the class remembers.
Team events and online calls: one screen shared, answers on phones.
How scoring works
A correct answer scores 1000 for the first player, 50 less for each place after it, and never under 500. Wrong or missing answers score nothing. Only a player's first answer to a question counts.
Answers are stored with the database clock, so a slow connection does not matter as much as a fast finger. The scoreboard after each question shows the five best players.
Good to know
The host needs a free account to open a room; players only need the link. Without a room the page works as a one-screen presenter: you ask, reveal and nobody enters answers.
The quiz is multiple choice: free-text answers are not checked.
Tips
- Keep questions short so they fit a phone screen, and put the right option in different places.
- Pick 20 seconds for general knowledge and 60 for questions that need a little thinking.
