Game types

Every challenge starts from a type you pick under Choose a game type when you click Create on the Challenges page. The type is fixed once the challenge is created. The shared details (points, timing, who sees it, prerequisites, retakes, result screen) work the same for every type and are covered in Create, edit, open and close challenges. These pages cover what each type adds.

Games score themselves: a participant earns a share of the challenge’s Points for how well they did, and never more than the Points. Games and quizzes are created as drafts and can’t go live until their content is saved.

  • Quiz: timed multiple-choice questions, played alone or hosted live.
  • Quiz (Rounds): a multi-round timed quiz.
  • Lottery: a prize draw with one random winner.
  • External game: a game on another platform; you enter the results after.

In-person games played at the venue are on their own page: On-ground games and rounds.
