🧩 Game behavior settings​

Customize how the question behaves during gameplay:

  • Time-based scoring — Reward players who answer more quickly
  • Multiple correct answers — Allow more than one valid choice
  • Random answer order — Shuffle the options on screen
  • Stop timer when all answered — Continue as soon as all responses are in
  • Show question results — Show feedback after the question (or disable it)
  • Force results after question — Only applies when feedback would normally be delayed (e.g., in lightning rounds or open questions). For standard questions without jury interaction, feedback is shown automatically after each question.

These fields control what appears on the Quizmaster App and big screen:

  • Big screen – Question feedback — Shown to all players after feedback is revealed
  • Presenter – Long question — A version of the question to be read aloud by the host

Question attachments

You can enhance questions with images, video, or audio. Each attachment can be shown at specific points:

  • Before / During / After Question — Shown around the time the question is presented
