Single choice
One correct answer. Best for checking a precise fact, definition, or concept.
Multiple choice
Several correct answers can be selected. Scoring is all or nothing: players must pick the exact correct set.
True / False
A fast, highly readable format that works well between more demanding questions.
Ranking
Players drag items into the correct order. Scoring is all or nothing: the full sequence must match.
Poll
No correct answer. Use it to collect preferences, opinions, or room temperature.
Open answer
Players type a short response up to 280 characters. Leave it unscored, or turn on evaluation to award points: it tolerates differences in capitals, accents and punctuation, missing small words such as “the”, another word order and small typos (details below). Add variants for other acceptable answers (a full name, an acronym, a translation) and turn on Review answers before results to settle borderline answers yourself.
Word cloud
Players submit up to 10 words. The most repeated words appear larger when results are shown.
Idea board
Players post ideas, AI proposes useful groups, the host adjusts the wall, then participants vote privately with hearts. Large rooms use an adaptive idea limit.
Scale
Players choose a value from 1 up to a maximum between 3 and 10, with optional labels at each end.
Slide
Presentation content with no answer and no score: context, instructions, transition, or recap.
Whiteboard
A collaborative canvas placed inside a session. In a live session, participants can enter it while the host is on that activity. In a self-paced session, each participant can enter it on reaching that activity, until the deadline.
Open answers: what is accepted or rejected
Each response is compared with the correct answer and its variants.
Accepted
- Capitals and accents, œ, æ and ß included: “britney spears” or “Britnéy Spears” for “Britney Spears”, “Sacré-Coeur” for “Sacré-Cœur”.
- Punctuation, which separates words like a space, except the dots of an acronym: “Britney Spears!” for “Britney Spears”, “USA” for “U.S.A.”.
- Missing small words such as the, a, an, of, and: “Eiffel Tower” for “The Eiffel Tower”.
- Words in another order: “Spears Britney” for “Britney Spears”.
- Numbers written differently, in digits or Roman numerals: “5th”, “No. 5” or “number 5” for “5”, “007” for “7”, “1,000” for “1000”, “Louis 14” for “Louis XIV”.
- One typo per word of 5 letters or more (a letter added, missing or changed, or two neighbouring letters swapped): “Britney Speers” for “Britney Spears”, “Parsi” or “Pari” for “Paris”.
- Otherwise, one typo across the whole answer, small words and spaces included, from 5 characters, and two from 12, but never in a number or in a single letter like the one in “Vitamin C”: “Mon Blanc” for “Mont Blanc”, “Mikael Jackson” for “Michael Jackson”.
Rejected (beyond these allowances)
- Another number, in digits or Roman numerals: “Apollo 12” for “Apollo 11”, “Louis XV” for “Louis XIV”; a number in words: “five” for “5”.
- Another letter: “Vitamin D” for “Vitamin C”, “Plan B” for “Plan A”. In the correct answer, write such letters and Roman numerals in capitals, and the rest normally.
- Only part of the answer: “Britney” or “Spears” for “Britney Spears”, “Vitamin” for “Vitamin C”.
- More typos: “Olso” for “Oslo”, “Pikaso” for “Picasso”.
- A synonym, nickname or translation: “NYC” for “New York”, “Londres” for “London”.
To accept another answer, add it as a variant, one per line: a full name, an acronym (“IBM” for “International Business Machines”), a translation… Each variant follows the same rules.
Tip: to settle borderline answers yourself, turn on “Review answers before results”.
