Three games · one quiz
A live quiz can measure, motivate or entertain, but one scoring rule can't do all three. QuizMySkill lets you choose the game when you launch, with rules that say exactly what each one rewards.
Check understanding without pressure? Get people backing their answers? Turn a training day into a contest? Each mode is built for one of those jobs.
For checking what people actually know.
Full points for every correct answer, however long it took. Speed decides nothing except the order of players on the same score. Best for formative checks, revision and anyone who freezes under a clock.
Correct = full pointsWrong = 0Speed = tiebreak
Basic mode in detailFor energy, confidence and a bit of nerve.
Before each question every player backs their answer: Safe (1×), Bold (1.5×) or All In (2×). A small speed bonus rewards quick, correct answers. Best for warm-ups, revision races and end-of-unit challenges.
Wager 1× – 2×Speed +10% maxWrong = 0
Power Play in detailFor team building, quiz nights and big rooms.
Two to eight teams race to buzz in. The first buzz locks out every other team and that player answers. +100 if they're right, −50 if they're wrong, so buzzing early is a real call.

And a fourth: Practice
Practice runs the whole quiz with you as the only player, timed or untimed, so you can catch a typo or a too-short timer before forty people do. It's on every plan, it never uses your monthly sessions and it never clutters your reports.
Yes. The game mode is chosen when you launch a session, not when you write the quiz. The same questions can run as Basic one day and Team Buzzer the next, on any plan that includes the mode.
Basic. It is the only mode where every correct answer earns exactly its full points, regardless of speed, so the results are a clean measure of what each person knows.
Only in Team Buzzer, where a wrong answer costs the team 50 points. That risk is what makes buzzing in a decision. In Basic and Power Play a wrong answer scores zero and never subtracts.
No. Practice is free on every plan and never uses your session allowance or appears in your reports.
Basic is on every plan, including the free Demo plan. Power Play comes with Junior (A$19/month) and Senior. Team Buzzer is part of Senior (A$29/month). See pricing for everything else each plan includes.
Basic mode and unlimited practice runs are free forever. Upgrade when you want Power Play or Team Buzzer.
