🎭 Activity

An Activity round lets you step away from standard quiz questions for a creative or physical challenge. The quizmaster describes an activity or duel, selects teams to compete, and awards points based on performance.

🏆 How it works​

  • Challenge Description: The round begins with a description of the activity (e.g., "Fold a paper plane and throw it as far as possible, furthest wins!").
  • Team/Player Selection: The quizmaster selects which teams or players will participate in the activity.
    • Random selection ensures every team is drawn an equal number of times throughout the quiz. So if you have 40 teams and 10 activity rounds with 4 teams each, every team will be selected exactly once.
  • Timer & Tools: Start a timer and use sound effects (like buzzer or bells) to manage the challenge.
  • Award Points: After the activity, the quizmaster enters the results and awards points to the winning team(s).
