What happens if I don't answer in time?

If the time runs out before you submit an answer, your answer will be marked as incorrect and you won't receive any points for that question.

Can I see the correct answer after each question?

Yes! After each question, there's a reveal phase where the correct answer is shown, along with whether your answer was correct or incorrect.

Game Hosting

How many players can join my game?

The maximum number of players depends on your plan. Free plans typically allow a certain number of players, while premium plans may allow more. Check the game configuration page when hosting to see your current limit.

Can I customize game settings?

Yes! When hosting a game, you can customize:

  • Number of rounds to play
  • Time limit per question

How do I share the room code with players?

Once you create a game room, you'll receive a unique room code. You can share this code with your players through any method you prefer - text message, email, chat, or by displaying it on a screen. Players will use this code to join your game.

Can I pause or stop a game once it's started?

Currently, games run continuously once started. If you need to end a game early, you can navigate away from the host page, but this will end the game for all players. We're working on adding pause functionality in future updates.

Technical Issues

What if I get disconnected during a game?

If you get disconnected, try to rejoin the game using the same room code and name. However, you may miss questions that were asked while you were disconnected. We recommend using a stable internet connection for the best experience.
