You've made your first game, now you want to play it for your next classroom activity! This post will show you all you need to know when playing a QuizWhizzer game, either live in a classroom environment or remotely.

This video demonstrates the basics of how the gameplay works. There are a few extra things to consider though, so read on if you want to learn more (the video is also a little dated, so this post has the most up to date information).

Start a game

Click on the quiz you would like to play to open the detailed view. You will then see a green start button which you can click to launch the game:

Game mode

You will then be asked to select a game mode. You can choose either "Live Race" or "Homework":

• Live Race - a race to the finish, everyone starts at the same time and first to the finish wins.
  • If a player reaches the end (last space on the board), they will finish the game and their finish place will be locked. If there are still questions left, the player can continue them for academic purposes, they won't count towards their score.
• Homework - players work until all questions are finished. The winners are decided based on how far on the board they are AND highest score, so if there are multiple players on the last space, the player with the highest score will win, not who arrived first.
  • Use this mode if you want to play more questions-focussed rather than a race. It also works better when players are joining at different times.

Now once you have decided on the game mode you want to play, press the continue button to move to the map selection screen.

Maps are the race setting for your game. Players will race each other on the map while answering questions. If you click on the “Community made” tab you can browse all the maps created by QuizWhizzer members. This tab also fetches maps based on the number of questions in your quiz and the forward movement you select:
