Tournament quizzes:​

Elimination-style brackets where items go head-to-head and only the winner advances.

• Head-to-head matches: Two items are shown at a time, one click sends the winner to the next round.
• Bracket size: Play with all items or limit a bracket to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 of them, optionally letting players choose.
• Random seeding: Shuffle the pairings on every play so no two runs are the same.
• Community picks: Show how often each item is picked by other players, and crown the most popular champions on the quiz page.
• Full bracket on results: The finished bracket and the champion are shown once the last match is played.
• Optional scoring: Tournaments use the regular quiz score and can be excluded from the score and the leaderboard.

Music quizzes:​

Listen to a short snippet of a track and guess the song.

• Audio questions: Every question carries one audio file, played through a built-in player instead of being offered as a download.
• Difficulty: The snippet is 5, 3 or 1 second long on easy, normal and hard, or a custom length set by the author. Players may be allowed to pick the difficulty when they start.
• Replays: Optionally let players hear the snippet again, with an optional limit on how many times.
• Start offset: Each question defines the position in the track the snippet starts at, so the chorus can be used instead of the intro.
• Volume: The author sets the starting volume, and each player's own choice is remembered across questions.
• Difficulty scoring: Optionally multiply the score of a play by the difficulty it was played with.
• Hidden titles: Audio is streamed through a neutral URL, so the file name never reveals the answer.

  • Single Choice - Select one option as the answer (can have one or more correct options).
  • Short Answer - Provide a brief written response to the question.
