Open questions and score changes work on every plan, including the free Home plan. You write open questions in your own pack, and hosting your own pack needs Pro. A typed answer that matches the reference answer is marked for you.
Watch the answers arrive
While the question is open, each team's answer appears on its own card, and it updates when the team changes it. A card that waits for you says Needs you. Switch between All at once and One by one at the top.
Mark each answer
Click Lock Answers first: the mark buttons work once answering is locked. Then click Correct or Wrong on each card. Or use the keys: the right arrow marks correct, the left arrow or N marks wrong, and the up and down arrows move between cards.
Reveal the answer
Click Reveal Answer. The marks turn into points on the scoreboard. An answer you did not mark counts as wrong, so the panel asks first.
Change a mark after the reveal
To change a mark, undo the reveal first. Press U or Ctrl+Z, click the other button on the card, then click Reveal Answer again.
Type a new score
Under Teams, click a team's score. Type the new number and press Enter. Escape cancels. The - and + buttons take off or add 10 points.
Tips
- Add a reference answer to an open question in the pack builder. Answers that match it are marked for you, and the card says Auto:. Check them before you reveal.
- When two or more teams type the same answer (capitals, spaces and accents do not count), their cards say 3 teams typed this answer. Click All 3 correct or All 3 wrong to mark them all at once. One undo puts them all back.
- A drawn answer shows as a picture on its card, so you can judge it like a typed one.
- Type whole numbers only. The score you type replaces the old one.
- A typed or drawn answer you mark wrong costs the round's penalty, like a wrong multiple-choice answer. In a Buzzer Race round, marking the team that buzzed wrong hands the buzzer back.
Questions
Can I mark answers before I lock the question?
Not on answers that send themselves: typed, number, drawn, pick-several and order answers. Teams can change those until you lock the question, so the panel shows them live but marks only work after Lock Answers. This holds in every round except one-shot rounds (Fastest Finger and Buzzer Race), where you can mark early. If you try earlier, it says Lock answers before you mark them. Single-choice questions can be marked at once. A team can still change its answer for about 1.5 seconds after the lock, and that change counts. Until then the mark buttons and Reveal stay off and the panel says Last answers are still coming in.
Why can't I change a mark after I revealed the answer?
The reveal has already given out the points. Press U or Ctrl+Z to undo the reveal, change the mark, then reveal again.
Do the players see a score I change by hand?
Yes. The new score replaces the old one everywhere: on the big screen scoreboard, in the standings and in the final results.
