🥧 Piece of pie

In a Piece of pie round, teamwork pays off! The total points available for each question depend on the number of players, and are then split between all players (or teams) who answer the question correctly.

📝 How it works​

  • Total points = base points × number of players (or teams).
    • Example: If a question is worth 100 points and there are 20 players, 2,000 points are at stake.
  • After the question, the total points are divided equally among everyone who answered correctly.
    • Example: If 5 players answered correctly, each of them gets 400 points.
  • If everyone gets it right, everyone gets the same (lower) share. If only one player is correct, they get the whole “pie”!

⚙️ Time-based scoring​

  • Time-based scoring can be enabled (and is enabled by default).
  • In that case, the displayed points are the maximum you could win for a fast and correct answer.
  • Your share of the “pie” will be adjusted for your speed and the number of other correct answers.
  • For details, see the scoring section.

💡 Tips​

  • Encourage unique knowledge! The fewer people who get it right, the bigger the reward.
  • Speed still matters if time-based scoring is on, but sharing the “pie” means you want to be both fast and correct.
  • Works well for questions where there’s a single clear answer, or to reward players who think outside the box.
