🎮 Mode & scoring​

  • Question timer - Adjust the time limit using the slider

🧩 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.

🎤 Quizmaster content​

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

  • Game screen - Question feedback - Shown to all players after feedback is revealed
  • Quizmaster - Long question - A version of the question to be read aloud by the quizmaster

📝 These fields help make live presentations feel dynamic and polished.

📎 Attachments​

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
  • Before / During / After Feedback - Shown when results are revealed
  • ...

🧠 Attachments are especially useful for building suspense, illustrating answers, or giving context.

You can add multiple attachments in each slot.

⚡ In QuizWitz Live (PRO): the quizmaster can choose which attachment to display at each moment.
🎮 In games without a quizmaster (Party Game, Conference mode, Single player): all attachments in a given slot are shown at once.

📘 Learn more about supported file types, timing tips, and limitations in the attachments guide.

💡 Pro tip: Choosing the right moment​

  • Show the correct answer visually? → Use After Question
  • Build suspense before revealing feedback? → Use Before Feedback
  • Add extra trivia or depth? → Use After Feedback
