🎖️ Best answer question

In the Best answer question type, players write their own answers to an open-ended question.
Points are awarded either manually by the quizmaster, or—if there is no quizmaster—by having players vote for their favorite response.

📝 How it works​

  • Players answer: Each player types their response to the open question.
  • Scoring:
    • In QuizWitz Live (with a quizmaster), the host reviews all answers and assigns points to the best one(s).
    • In regular games (no host), players vote for the answer they think is best. The answer(s) with the most votes get the points.

💡 Tips for best answer questions​

  • Use creative, open-ended questions that invite original or funny responses.
  • For in-person or hosted quizzes, the quizmaster can award points for creativity, accuracy, or humor.
  • In self-hosted games, voting encourages players to read each other's answers and adds a fun social element.
