What is Trivia?

Trivia is a quiz game you can drop into any world. An admin can create and pick a set of questions and assign it to the Trivia asset. Players answer one question at a time against a countdown clock, and the faster you answer correctly, the more points you earn.

Students can see how they stack up against classmates and play again to beat their own best score. Finishing attempts can also unlock badges for things like answer streaks and perfect scores.

Playing Trivia

Everyone can play Trivia! You can play on your own and your score is posted to the leaderboard when you finish.

To Play Trivia:

1. Click the Trivia asset to open the game.
   
   
2. Review the question set overview in the app drawer. You'll see the quiz title, description, category, how many questions there are, and the difficulty level.
   
   Note: If an admin hasn't assigned a question set yet, you'll see a message letting you know there's nothing to play — let your teacher know.
3. Click Play to begin your attempt.
4. Answer the question before the timer runs out.
   • Each question is timed on its own, and you'll answer one of three ways:
   • Multiple choice: Select the one correct answer.
   • All that apply: Select every correct answer, you need all of them to score.
   • Open text: Type your answer in the text box. Capitalization and extra spaces don't matter, but spelling does.
5. Lock in your answer to confirm it and move to the next question. If the timer runs out while your correct answer is selected but not confirmed, you'll still earn partial credit for that question.
6. You’ll see a message indicating whether you answered correctly. 
   
   
7. Keep going until you've answered every question to see your final score.
   
   
8. Click the Scores tab to see your own attempts under My Scores and everyone else's under Leaderboard.
   
   

Earn Badges:

Click the Badges tab to see which badges you've unlocked and which ones are still waiting. Here are all the badges you could earn:

Tips for Playing Trivia

• Speed counts! A correct answer is worth up to 1,000 points, and the value ticks down the longer you take — so answer as soon as you're sure.
• Read the 'all that apply' questions carefully! Partial selections don't score, so check every option before you confirm.
• Don't worry about capitalization. For typed answers, upper and lower case and extra spaces are ignored.
• Lock in before the clock runs out. Selecting the right answer isn't enough — if you don't lock it in time, you'll only get partial credit.
• Play again! Only your best attempt shows on the leaderboard, so a second run can only help you.
• Collect badges. There are a bunch of badges to earn for things like answer streaks, perfect attempts, and playing often.
