Multiple choice

A regular multiple choice question lets players select the correct answer from several given options.

Example: Multiple choice question about flags

📝 How it works​

  • Question: State clearly what players should answer (example: “Select the flag of 🐟🐟🐟”).
  • Options: You can provide up to four answer options.
  • Correct/Wrong: Mark one or more correct answers, depending on your settings.
  • Feedback: Players see which answer was correct after answering. Optionally, you can provide extra feedback or explanations.

🏆 Scoring​

Multiple choice questions use time-based scoring by default: faster answers earn more points. For these questions, scoring decreases continuously per microsecond, with most points fixed and only a portion influenced by speed.
You can also turn off time-based scoring per question if you want all correct answers to receive the same score.
You can further adjust this balance in the round settings.

See Scoring options in round settings for full details.

⚙️ Expanded settings​

The Multiple choice question type offers many settings to fine-tune the experience and scoring.
