A challenge is a quiz with an amount of questions about a subject (TV, geography, art, current affairs, IQ tests, music, etc.). Every question has a number of possible answers, and only one is the correct one.
A challenge is created by a user, and can contain images associated to the question and to the answers. After playing a challenge, you get a result, which is a score depending on if your answers have been correct or incorrect.
A trivia game is a set of questions (typically a high number of questions) about a subject. Each question has a correct answer. By default, these answers are of the same kind. This means that the correct answer to a question could be used as the correct or incorrect answer to another question. For example, countries and capitals, countries and flags, NBA players and teams, a true/false trivia game, etc. This default model can be changed with the restriction tool. When a trivia game is created, this tool can define answer subsets, and assign these subsets to questions. The questions with answer subsets associated will only use possible answers that are present in those subsets, so using restrictions allows making more complex and flexible trivia games (in the same trivia game you can mix questions with different types of answers, for example, true/false, years, names, etc.) When you play a trivia game, you will answer questions randomly selected from the trivia game database, and you will find randomly selected answers for each question. Of course one of these answers will be the correct one for the question, and the others could be correct answers for another questions, or answers not associated with any question. If restrictions for some or all questions are defined, they will be taken into account for the selection of the possible answers for those questions.
There are 2 game modes for a trivia game: custom quiz and survival. In custom quiz mode you can select the number of questions you want to answer, and you will get a score depending on the questions you have answered correctly, and on the number of possible answers to each question. In survival mode, you answer questions until you answer one incorrectly, and your score will be the number of questions you have answered correctly in a row. In custom quiz and survival mode you can also select the number of answers you want for each question (random or a number from 2 to 6), if you want no time limit or a time limit for the whole trivia game or for each question, if you want to see the correct answer when you answer a question, etc.
In custom quiz and also in survival mode, every time you play a trivia game you get a different quiz, so enjoy and try to beat the high scores!
You can create a challenge with a lot of questions with very few clicks and in a couple of minutes. In order to make this even easier, you can use enter and tab key to speed up the addition of questions and answers and the navigation between them. Just choose a subject for your challenge and create it!
If you want to create a trivia game, copy the questions and answers from a document you have and paste them on MakeQuestions. You have to make sure that each question and its answer are pasted in the same position, so the system can recognize them as a pair, and that every question has an answer. You can also enter answers not related to any question. For the questions or answers you enter, use a separator that is suitable for the texts you are pasting (default is ',') You can of course enter your questions and answers directly on MakeQuestions, with a separator or one by one. You can also add images to every question and answer, and another useful options to make trivia game creation process even easier. If you have your questions and answers well prepared and you paste them on MakeQuestions, your trivia game will be created in seconds!
No. You can create a challenge or a trivia game with the number of questions that you want (go ahead and create a 1000-question challenge or a 10000-question trivia game!) You can also create a challenge with only one question. All challenge questions must have between 2 and 6 possible answers.
When you published a challenge or a trivia game on MakeQuestions, it is public for everybody. However, you can assign a password for a challenge or a trivia game if you want that only the people who know it can play that challenge or trivia game.
No. The challenge is available for everyone (unless you have protected it by a password)
Yes. You can manage your challenge and you will find that option.
There is an option for that when you manage a challenge or a trivia game. Mark it as inactive, and when you have made your changes, activate it again. This option is also useful when you are creating a new challenge or trivia game and you want to save it incomplete to finish it later.
The maximum is 100 points, regardless of the number of questions the challenge has. The result is normalized to a 100-point base.
If you fail a question in a challenge, you get a negative result from this question, depending on the number of possible answers that the question has. This is to avoid that someone that answers at random get a good score.
If the question has 2 possible answers, the result when you fail is -1 for that question; if 3 possible answers, -0.5; 4 possible answers, -0.33; 5 answers, -0.25; and 6 possible answers, -0.2 if you fail the question. You can skip a question if this option is enabled in the challenge. In that case the result you will get in that question will be 0.
Yes. You can find or create a challenge with a time limit for the whole challenge, or for each question. If you do not answer a question with a time limit, it will be counted as if you had answered that question wrong. If you play a challenge with a time limit for the whole, and time expires, all remaining questions will be counted as wrong answered.
You can play a challenge all the times that you want. The result that will be counted for you will be the result you got the first time you played the challenge. In the case of trivia games, you can beat your own high scores in custom quiz and survival mode, and the new high score you get will be the result that counts for you in each game mode.
