Build your live trivia game.

How to build your live trivia game

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Build live trivia around rounds, answer windows and transparent scoring rules.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the quiz host records the room and how the participant reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your live trivia game

• Keep the room in context

  Keep room, round, question, answer window, team response and score together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  An answer arrives after the host closes a round. Preserve its arrival state and apply the explicitly chosen scoring rule consistently.

• Keep score visible

  Apply the chosen late-answer rule without changing the closed round silently.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the quiz host a working view and the participant a review view. Keep room and round attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
