Students answer on their own devices
Each student sees the question and four coloured answer tiles on their phone, tablet, or laptop. They tap to answer — results appear on your host screen in real time.

Quiz settings
Include all question types
By default, only multiple-choice and true/false questions run in live mode. Toggle this on to also include matching, ordering, and written questions (AI-marked in the background).
Written questions first
When all question types are included, this option moves written questions to the start — giving the AI more time to mark before the quiz ends.
Student waiting activity
Choose a game or activity students see while you discuss results between questions. Select from Learning, Games, or Creative categories.
Running the quiz
Once launched, the quiz runs full-screen on your display. Students see the same question on their own devices and tap their answer — no projector sharing required, though you can mirror your screen for the class to follow along.
Live answer tracking
The answer count (top right) ticks up in real time as students submit. You can see how many are still thinking.
Reveal correct answer
After the timer, the correct answer is highlighted and an explanation is shown — great for class discussion.
Answer distribution

Next question
Click Next when you are ready to move on. The timer resets and students see the next question.
Wait / Pause
Click Wait to hold on the results screen as long as you need — useful for discussing the answer with the class.
End quiz
Click End Quiz at any time. Results and class insights are saved automatically.
How scoring works
⚡ Speed + Accuracy
Scores are based on both accuracy and speed. Correct answers score points. Faster correct answers score more points than slower correct answers. Wrong answers score zero — not negative points. This rewards engagement without penalising students who take a moment to think.

Choose a waiting activity in the launcher before starting the quiz. Students see it whenever you pause to discuss results or prepare for the next question. Activities are organised into three categories:
Learning
