Configure scoring

You can adjust how your audience's scores are calculated for the leaderboard, using our integrated quiz time multiplier.

How scoring works

Each question has a fixed point value (defined by the Creator). Your total score is calculated from all answered questions. The score is multiplied by a time factor – the faster you complete the quiz, the higher your final score.

You can play a quiz or minigame multiple times. Only your best result appears on the leaderboard.

Quiz scoring

For quizzes, the time multiplier uses a formula to calculate points by combining your audience's score with the time taken to answer the quiz questions (in seconds).

1. Go to the Settings section and click on Leaderboard: Scoring.
2. Under Quiz time multiplier, adjust the number on the slider.
   The time multiplier ranges from 0 to 100x and the default multiplier is 100.
   The formula is:
   Points = points x (1 + (1 / (time taken (in seconds))) x multiplier)
   The higher the multiplier, the more you will be rewarded for a faster time-taken and the more variation you will have between entries on the leaderboard. This can also increase audience motivation to be high up on the leaderboard.
3. Here is an example calculation:

   Points = 6

   Time taken (in seconds) = 60.057

   Multiplier = 100

   6 x (1 + (1 / 60.057) x 100) = 16

Predictor scoring

For predictors, points are awarded only after the final result is submitted. Point allocation can be individually adjusted by the Creator. For scoring calculation, your first submitted prediction counts. There is no time factor for predictors.

Minigame scoring

Minigames connect to a leaderboard just like quizzes and predictors, and the time multiplier applies to minigames as well – the faster your audience finishes, the higher the final score. How the base score is earned depends on the block:

• Sudoku and Crossword: You set the point value in the block options (Score, default 1). The points are awarded only when the puzzle is completely solved – skipping an unsolved puzzle awards 0 points.
• Minesweeper: Uses its own scoring system instead of a fixed point value: points per revealed safe cell, a time bonus for fast completion, and an efficiency bonus for precise flagging. In Streak Mode, consecutive wins add a streak multiplier.
• Slot machine: The score is the balance your audience collects while spinning. You set the starting balance in the block options, and players click on Take profit to bank their current balance as their score.
• Wheel of Fortune: Awards prizes instead of points, so it has no score. A minigame that only contains Wheel of Fortune blocks can't be connected to a leaderboard.

Good to know: Participants who finish with 0 points still appear on the leaderboard – like with quizzes, anyone who completes the connected form gets an entry, even without scoring points.
