🧑‍⚖️ Jury app — Reviewing open answers in QuizWitz Live

If your quiz includes open answer questions, you'll need to use the Jury app to manually review and score responses.

🗂️ Using the Jury app​

The Jury app is a separate interface used by jury members to evaluate answers and manage scoring.

To open the Jury app:

  1. At the start of the quiz, a Jury Code is generated.
  2. On a separate device, go to catlab.tv
  3. Enter the Jury Code to access the app

💡 You can open the Jury app on any browser — it's a web app, no installation required.

Once inside, the Jury app provides several useful tools:

  • Judge questions — Open question results will appear once a question is completed.

    • The game does not wait for the jury to finish — unless it’s the last question of the round or the quiz settings say otherwise.
    • Once judged, results appear after the next question.

  • Edit scores — Grant or revoke points manually per player or team.

  • Game control — Adjust question timers or add streaming delays if needed.

  • Report — Generate a full game report with results and player answers.

✅ Judging open questions​

After each open question, the Jury app displays all submitted answers. Jury members must:

  1. Review each answer carefully
  2. Tick the checkbox next to each acceptable answer
  3. Click ‘Confirm’ to lock in the results

QuizWitz will automatically detect exact matches and mark them as correct. Jury members are responsible for reviewing:

  • Partial or alternate answers
  • Phonetic matches
  • Common spelling variations

🎙️ QuizWitz was designed with phonetic matching in mind — but the final decision is always up to the judges.

With the Jury app, you can fairly assess open responses, adjust scores, and ensure a balanced quiz experience for all players.
