How to play a live quiz with FlexiQuiz
Live quizzes have a host who starts the quiz and shares each question. All quiz participants (also known as players) view the same pages of the live quiz simultaneously.
You don't need a FlexiQuiz account to play a live quiz.
This guide shows participants how to join and play a live quiz.
Preparation
The objective of a live quiz game is to get the most points in the fastest time. Your quiz host will confirm how points are awarded and the rules of the game.
Before starting, you need the following:
- A seven-digit access code that the host typically shares.
- Access to an online device such as a mobile, tablet, or laptop to enter your answers.
- A good internet connection is a must.

When you're ready, press >
You will now enter the live lounge, and your host is notified that you're waiting.
Your host will start the quiz at the appropriate time or when all the players are in the live lounge.
When the host starts the quiz, there is a 3-second countdown before the first question appears.

You can read the question on your device, enter your correct answer, and press submit as quickly as possible.
This is an example of a single choice question with a countdown timer.

Once all the players have submitted their answers, your response is automatically marked and scored.
If your response is correct, you will see a green tick.
If your response is wrong, you will see a red cross.
In addition, you can view the total number of points you have been awarded for the quiz.
The three second countdown timer appears when your host is ready to move to the next question.
