This works the same on every plan, including the free Home plan. Start a Trivia night first and let at least one team join, then click Start Game.
Start the round
The round briefing shows the round name and its rules. Click Start: with the round name, or press the space bar. The first question goes up on the big screen and on every phone.
Watch the answers come in
Under Scores, each team shows the letter it picked as soon as it answers. The clock in the header shows how long the question has been open and its time limit, for example 0:03 / 0:30. While the join QR is big, the clock waits and the panel says Clock paused while the join QR is big.
Lock, then reveal
Click Lock Answers to close answering, then Reveal Answer. The right answer lights up and the scores move. When the time limit runs out, answering locks by itself.
Take back a step
Pressed too soon? Press U or Ctrl+Z to undo the last step, and Y to redo it. The keys are listed under the question. Redo still works when a phone answers or a timer runs out after the undo: it does the step again, and the new answers stay.
Move on
Click Next Question. To skip a question the room cannot play, click Skip question. A skipped question scores nothing.
Show the standings between rounds
On the last question of a round the main button reads End round - show standings. After the last question of a round, the round break shows the standings. Click Start Next Round: with the next round name when the room is ready.
End the game
Click End Game at the top of the panel and confirm. The final standings go up on the big screen and the phones.
Tips
- Press S to show or hide the scoreboard on the big screen, and J to show the join QR code full screen.
- While a question clock runs, Pause next to the clock (key P) stops it on your panel, the big screen and every phone. Teams can still answer. Click Resume (P) to go on. +30 s (key T) adds 30 seconds each time, also while the clock is paused. In the mobile apps the pause button and +30 s sit next to the clock.
- Click a team's score to type a new one, or use - and +.
- Pick Let Quizado run it under How it runs in the lobby, and Auto-Host runs the questions for you. Auto-Host is part of Pro and Business.
- During play, Undo sits in the top bar. Redo shows under it for 6 seconds, and stays in More. The keys are U and Y. In the mobile apps, Undo and Redo sit in the top bar next to Dashboard at every stage of the game, the lobby included.
- On the last question of a round with Leaders play the last question for double, the question header shows x2 for the leading teams, as the big screen does.
- Press ? for all keyboard keys, or open More > All keyboard keys. The keys are the same in every game.
Questions
What does the space bar do?
It presses the main button, whatever its label says: start the round, lock answers, reveal the answer or go to the next question.
Can I undo a reveal?
Yes. Press U or Ctrl+Z right after the reveal. The question goes back to locked, and the points it gave are taken back.
What happens when I end the game early?
Every team stops playing and the final standings go up. You cannot undo it, so the panel asks you to confirm first.
Can I pause the clock or give the room more time?
Yes. While a question clock runs, click Pause next to the clock or press P. The clock stops everywhere, teams can still answer, and the big screen and the phones say the clock is paused. Click Resume to go on. Click +30 s or press T to add 30 seconds; you can tap it as often as you need. Lock Answers still works while the clock is paused.
Can I end a round early when I am running late?
Yes. Open More and pick End round now, the first item under This game. The panel asks you to confirm and says what happens. If answers are open on the question on screen, they lock, and you reveal and score that question as usual. Answers given score as usual, but a team that said nothing loses no points on it. The rest of the round is skipped and nobody loses points. Then End round - show standings brings up the standings and the next round. The big screen and the phones say how many questions were skipped. Press U to undo it. In the last round the item reads End the last round now and the final standings follow. In the mobile apps it is in the More sheet too.
