There are four main types of question that can be used within a quiz. These questions can be grouped together into rounds, allowing you to subdivide the quiz into sections.

 

Single Response

There is only one right answer. All others are wrong. The system can be programmed to accept only the first key pressed or to allow participants to change their mind and choose a different option during the countdown.

Multiple Response

There is more than one correct answer. The order in which they are selected is not important. In this example, handsets that answered one of the two correct answers would receive half the available points. However, you could also require them to answer both correctly in order to receive any points at all.

 

 

 

 

Ordered Response

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here, the options must be put in the correct order to obtain full marks.

Handsets that answered 2134 would obtain 100% of the points for this question. Proportional scoring is available if required to give points according to the number of answers given in the correct order.

After the vote has been taken, the correct order can be displayed.

 

Tiebreaker

The system allows the first handset that answers correctly to stop the vote. This is most useful in tiebreaker situations, or to imitate TV game-show formats. Since the system has accurate timings for all handsets, this can also be carried out without stopping the vote.

An alternative to this is to use the system as a ‘buzzer’ system. Useful when you don’t want to display any options, you can just show the question and ask the audience to buzz in if/when they know the answer. The first handset to buzz in will be identified, and can give their answer out loud. If they get it right, they can be given points or even an on-the-spot prize. If they get it wrong, just ask the question again!
