Quizzes and quiz battles

Open Quizzes

• On a computer, open More in the left menu and choose Quizzes.
• On a phone, tap Explore at the bottom, then Quizzes.

The Quizzes page shows three ways to play, a link to change the game settings, History, your numbers (Played, Correct, Accuracy and Best), a Rematch row, your Recent rounds, and the Who can challenge you setting.

Ways to play

Change the questions, timer or subjects

Tap Change questions, timer or subjects. The Custom game page opens.

• Number of questions: 5 to 25, in steps of 5.
• Seconds per question: 10 to 60, in steps of 5.
• Difficulty: Mixed, Easy, Medium or Hard.
• Subjects (optional): Math, GK, English, Reasoning. Leave all unselected for a mix of everything.

Then choose how to play at the bottom: Play Self, Play Randomly or Challenge Friend. The quick buttons on the Quizzes page always use the standard settings: 10 questions, 20 seconds each, mixed difficulty.

Answer the questions

• Each question shows its subject, topic and difficulty, the question and four options, A to D.
• A timer at the top counts down the seconds. It turns red in the last 5 seconds.
• Tap an option. The right answer turns green. If you picked a wrong one, it turns red.
• Tap Skip to move on without answering.
• If time runs out, the question counts as skipped and the next one comes up.

Accuracy is the share of your answered questions that were right. Skipped questions do not count towards accuracy.

2. 2You see Looking for an opponent…. If nobody joins within about 45 seconds, the page says so and keeps looking. Tap Cancel to stop.
3. 3When someone is found, the match starts. A score bar shows your score and your opponent's score as you both play.
4. 4If you finish first, you see Waiting for your opponent to finish, with the question they are on. Your score is saved.
5. 5At the end you see You won!, It's a draw! or Better luck next time, with both scores.

The round uses the settings of the player who joins the match second. If you were already waiting when your opponent arrived, their settings are used.
