🔀 Order question

In an Order question, players must put up to 4 items in the correct sequence.
This round type is great for chronological, ranking, or sequencing challenges.

Example: Order question about animals

📝 How it works​

  • Question: Clearly ask what order is required.
    (Example: “Select the animals in the correct order from least to most legs.”)
  • Options: Enter up to four items. You define the correct sequence.
  • Player view: Options are shown in random order. Players select each item one by one in the order they think is correct.
  • Feedback: After answering, players see the correct order and (optionally) any extra explanation you provide.

🏆 Scoring​

Order questions use time-based scoring by default:
Faster correct answers earn more points, but most of the points are fixed. Time only affects a portion of the score.
You can also turn off time-based scoring per question for fixed points only.

See Scoring options in round settings for details.

⚙️ Expanded settings​

Order questions offer flexible settings:

  • Time limit: Set how long players have to answer.
  • Points: Set how many points are awarded for a fully correct answer.

See writing questions for more.

💡 Tips for great order questions​

  • Be specific: State clearly how you want items ordered (e.g., least to most, oldest to newest).
  • Choose distinct options: Avoid items that are too similar or ambiguous.
  • Explain the answer: Use feedback to clarify the correct order after the question.
  • Mix formats: Try chronological, size-based, or ranking-based questions for variety.
