Quiz

Quiz is the classic multiple-choice activity. You ask a question, players pick an answer from a set of coloured tiles, and the faster they get it right, the more points they earn. It's the bread-and-butter round for trivia, knowledge checks, and quick competitive fun.

How players experience it

1. The question appears on their screen, along with any image or video you've added.
2. A set of coloured answer tiles shows below it. Players tap the one they think is right.
3. If a countdown timer is running, they can see it ticking, and answering sooner is worth more.
4. Once the answer window closes, the correct answer is revealed, and players find out how they did.

Answering is quick: on a single-answer question, tapping a tile locks it in straight away. If you've set a question up with more than one correct answer, players pick their choices and then tap Submit to confirm.

Points reward both getting it right and being fast. A correct answer scores, and an early correct answer scores more than a last-second one. On an untimed question, only correctness counts. Scores roll up into the leaderboard so players can see where they stand.

Setting one up as a host

When you add a Quiz to your Roo, you fill in:

• The question. Type it in the question box. You can also attach an image or video (including a YouTube link) to go with it.
• The answer tiles. A Quiz starts with four. Tap a tile to type its answer text, and use Add answers / Remove answers to adjust how many there are (up to six).
• The correct answer. Tap the tick on a tile to mark it correct. You can mark more than one tile correct if the question has several right answers.
• The timer. Questions are timed by default (around 20 seconds). Adjust it to give more or less thinking time.

Tips

• Keep answers short. Tiles read best with a few words, not a sentence.
• Use the timer to set the pace. A tight timer makes for a punchy, high-energy round; a longer one suits trickier questions.
• Add a picture. A relevant image or video makes a question more engaging and can be part of the puzzle itself.
• Mix in True/False. For a simple two-option question, the dedicated True/False activity is a faster way to build the same thing.
