⚠️ Live Crash Recovery

Did your game freeze? Did the tab close by accident? QuizWitz Live includes a built-in recovery system to help you get back on track — without losing your progress.

🔄 How game recovery works​

If your game crashes, hangs, or is interrupted for any reason — whether it’s a browser issue, system restart, or accidental tab closure — you can resume the session easily.

Just reopen the same browser tab or game screen you were using to display the main game view. This is the screen you project or stream to your audience.

When it loads:

  • You’ll be prompted to resume the previous session or start a new one
  • If you choose to resume, the game will restore your progress as closely as possible

▶️ Resuming the game​

Select “Resume game” to:

  • Continue from the same question or round
  • Restore the quiz state and visuals

✅ This is the best option if your game crashed, froze, or was accidentally closed.

🆕 Starting a new game​

You can also choose to start a new game instead.

  • This will completely clear the previous session
  • You’ll return to the beginning of the quiz setup

⚠️ Only choose this if you’re certain you don’t want to continue the existing game.

💡 Good to know​

  • Recovery only works if you return to the same game screen in the same browser
  • Do not navigate to a different page — reopen the exact URL you were using to host the game
  • This feature helps recover from:
    • Browser crashes
    • Freezing or hanging mid-quiz
    • Accidental closure or refresh

With game recovery, you can host confidently — knowing that even if something goes wrong, you can pick up right where you left off.
