Host quiz

Host quiz: whoever opens it is the host. The host asks out loud from their own knowledge, does not play and does not earn points. Anyone in the room joins, and the host gives each player "Full" or "Partial".

How to start

  1. In a game room: tap "New table" and choose Host quiz. In a regular room, whoever manages the game starts it.
  2. Whoever opens it is the host, and picks the points scale, the number of questions and the timer (details below).
  3. Anyone in the room joins by tapping "I'm playing", including in the middle of the quiz.

How to play

  1. The host asks out loud, and can add a short title to the question.
  2. The players answer aloud or in the chat.
  3. The host taps "Full" or "Partial" next to the player's name — once per player per question. "Undo last" cancels the last award.
  4. "Next question" moves on to the next question, and "Finish" ends the quiz.
