Players join from any device by entering a PIN and a nickname. #### Built for classrooms, trainings, and audience engagement Teachers running classroom warm-ups or end-of-unit reviews. Trainers running team- building sessions. Course creators making lessons interactive. Membership site owners driving engagement. Trivia night hosts at bars and community centers. Event organizers wanting an audience-engagement moment. Anyone who wants a real-time shared-screen game that runs in a browser, on the site they already own. #### Let multiple people run their own quizzes Running a site where more than one person makes quizzes — a few teachers sharing a school site, or several colleagues each hosting their own sessions? Assign the** Quizpio Quiz Author** role and each author can create, edit, and host their own quizzes from the dashboard. Authors see only their own sessions, results, and CSV exports, and can delete the sessions they ran; administrators see everything across the site. Nothing to configure beyond assigning the role. #### Build quizzes and polls with Gutenberg blocks Each quiz is its own custom post type with its own URL, so you manage quizzes like Posts or Pages. Inside, you compose questions using the standard Gutenberg editor— multiple-choice (4 options) or true/false. Every question has its own time limit and point value, and any question can be switched to a **poll** — no points, no correct answer — for opinion checks and icebreakers mixed right into the game. As you build, the editor checks each question — prompting you for the question text, a second option, unique options, and a marked correct answer (polls skip that last one) — so every published quiz is ready to play. Every quiz has a settings panel where you choose: * **Scoring style** — _Speed bonus_ (faster correct answers earn more, scaling from 50% to 100% of max) or _Flat_ (every correct answer earns the full value, the right choice for assessments where speed shouldn’t matter). * **Reveal answers between questions** — show or skip the reveal screen that displays the correct answer and live vote distribution. * **Show full standings to players** — let players see the complete leaderboard on Final Results, or just the top 10 plus their own rank. * **Require host to click Next between questions** — switch from auto-advance to manual pacing for classroom discussion or debrief moments. Want the quiz inside an existing post or page instead of at its own URL? Drop in a **Quizpio Quiz Embed** block, pick a quiz from the dropdown, publish. Same quiz, played at that location. Sessions still belong to the quiz itself, so results from embedded plays roll up to one quiz history. #### The live host and player experience **For the host:** Open the quiz at its own URL (or the post where you embedded it). Hit Launch Session. Share the PIN. Watch the player list fill up, then hit Start Quiz. A brief “Get ready!” countdown brings everyone to the first question at the same moment. Run the quiz with live controls — start, skip, pause, resume, end — and a sidebar leaderboard that updates in real time. Wide screens get the leaderboard next to the question; phones stack it below. Each reveal screen shows the correct answer, how many players picked each option, and the standings going into the next question. On a poll question there is no correct answer to reveal — the screen shows how the room voted, and the summary reports a response rate rather than an accuracy figure. **For the player:** Visit the quiz page on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop. Enter the PIN, pick a nickname (or have it prefilled from your WordPress profile if you’re logged in), and you’re in. You get a color avatar generated deterministically from your nickname, so you have a visual identity that recurs across sessions. Tap your answer when each question appears. Watch your score climb. Poll questions are tagged as polls on your own screen, so you always know when an answer isn’t being scored. The leaderboard always shows your own row — even when you’re outside the top — with a YOU badge so you always know where you stand. Need to step away? Tap Leave; you exit cleanly without breaking the session for everyone else. **At the end:** A Final Results screen with a top-3 medal-card podium, summary stats, the full standings (if enabled), a per-question accuracy recap, and a “Held on” byline showing the date, time, and duration — for example, “May 17, 2026 · 2:30 PM · 12 min” — rendered in each viewer’s local timezone via the browser’s Intl API. Top-3 finishers get a confetti burst on their own screen, and the host’s results screen celebrates too — all respecting `prefers-reduced-motion`. If every question in the quiz was a poll, the finish is survey-style instead: response rates and vote distributions, with no scores and no podium. **Guests vs. logged-in players:** Guest play with just a nickname works by default— no account creation, no friction. Logged-in WordPress users get a richer experience: their nickname prefills from their profile, a “My past plays” button on the join and Final Results screens opens a personal history of every session they’ve played on this site, and they appear on the Players screen in the WordPress admin, where site owners can see who’s been playing across sessions. Both tiers play the same quiz; you choose whether to require accounts via a single setting. **On refreshes and reconnects:** Players who refresh, lose connection, or close the tab can rejoin and land back in the live session as it currently stands — same identity and score, and if they’d already answered the question on screen, their answer is still locked in with its result shown. Identity persists in the browser’s local storage for up to 6 hours or until that session ends. The host’s view survives refresh too. #### Accessible and theme-independent Quizpio is keyboard-navigable throughout, with ARIA roles and live regions so screen readers announce each phase change. The quiz interface carries its own styling and behavior rather than inheriting from the active theme, so it never picks up a theme’s fonts or layout quirks and works the same on every site. It renders in your device’s native system font, so type looks at home on Mac, Windows, or Android. All motion effects, the confetti included, respect the visitor’s reduced-motion preference. #### Admin tools, when you want them A dashboard with stats and an active-session callout with a one-click “Open host view.” A Sessions screen with filtering by quiz, pagination, and per-session detail showing the leaderboard plus a per-question breakdown with answer distribution, and an administrator can force-end an abandoned session from that detail page. A CSV export with Nickname, Rank, Score, Question #, Question text, Selected Option, Correct Answer, Correct?, Points, and response-time-in-milliseconds per row — filename derives from the quiz slug plus session date so downloads stay sortable in a teacher’s Downloads folder. For sites with returning players, the Players screen lists registered users with sessions-played, best score, last played, and click-through to a per- user history. Site-wide Settings cover polling interval (responsiveness vs. server load tradeoff), reveal pause duration, and a guest-allow toggle, plus manual data cleanup — delete sessions by date range, or wipe all session data. Quizpio never deletes anything on its own. #### Free to use, with an optional Pro add-on GPL v2, open source, and complete on its own. Everything described on this page is part of the free plugin and stays that way — no feature locks, no nags, and no upsell prompts inside the plugin. Runs on any standard WordPress host — no Node. js, no WebSocket server, no third-party service required. Translation-ready with a bundled .pot file. Deleting Quizpio removes all of its data — tables, options, quizzes, and session results — for a clean uninstall, with a setting to keep everything instead — quizzes, results, and settings — if you plan to reinstall later. Quizpio Pro is a separate paid add-on, sold as a yearly licence at https://quizpio. com/. It installs alongside this plugin and adds to it; nothing described on this page depends on it. ## Screenshots [⌊A player joining with a PIN and a nickname — from any device.⌉⌊A player joining with a PIN and a nickname — from any device.⌉[ A player joining with a PIN and a nickname — from any device.

Visit the quiz URL to host it (or click the quiz title in the Quizzes list to edit, then **View** on its row). ## FAQ ### How is Quizpio different from other WordPress quiz plugins? Most WordPress quiz plugins are _static_ — a user opens a page, answers questions in a form, sees their score. Quizpio is _live and multiplayer_: everyone plays at the same time, scores update in real time on a shared leaderboard, and the host runs the session from the same page players see. The mental model is closer to the live-poll tools you’ve seen at conferences or classrooms than to a typical form- based quiz. ### Can several teachers or staff each run their own quizzes? Yes. Assign someone the **Quizpio Quiz Author** role (in Users add or edit a user Role) and they can create, edit, and host their own quizzes. Each author sees only the sessions and results from quizzes they host — administrators see all of them. It’s a good fit for a school site shared by several teachers, or any organization where more than one person runs quizzes. ### Can I use Quizpio for remote or virtual classes? Yes. Players join from any device with a PIN, and the host shares the question screen over your usual video call, so Quizpio works for remote and virtual classes the same way it does in a room together. Students answer on their own phones or laptops while everyone watches the live leaderboard — nothing extra for them to install, just a browser. ### Is Quizpio good for gamified learning or e-learning? Yes. Live points, the speed bonus, and a shared leaderboard bring game mechanics— gamification — to lessons and online courses, turning review and practice into something students want to win. Embed a quiz inside a course or e-learning page with the Quizpio Quiz Embed block, run it live during a session, and the competitive feedback loop does the engagement work. ### Will this work on my shared hosting? Yes. No Node.js, no WebSocket server, no external service. Pure WordPress with REST polling — updates appear within ~2 seconds. Tested with classroom-sized groups ( 50–100 players) on entry-level hosting. ### Does Quizpio support WordPress multisite? Quizpio is designed for single-site installs. It runs fine when activated on an individual subsite, but network-wide activation isn’t supported — activate it per site. ### Does Quizpio work with page-cache plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.)? Yes. Quizpio sends explicit `no-store` headers on its REST endpoints, defines `DONOTCACHEPAGE` during each request, and appends a cache-busting query parameter on every poll. That combination protects against nearly all real-world cache-plugin configurations. If you’re still seeing players stuck on a stale view, exclude `/wp-json/quizpio/*` from your cache plugin’s URL rules as a final defensive measure. ### Is there a paid version? Yes. Quizpio Pro is a separate paid add-on, sold as a yearly licence at https:// quizpio.com/. It installs alongside this plugin rather than replacing it, and everything described on this page is part of the free plugin and will stay that way — Pro adds to it rather than unlocking it. The free plugin contains no feature locks, nags, or upsell prompts. ### Do players need an account? No — guest play with just a nickname works by default. Logged-in WordPress users get extras: their nickname prefills from their profile, and a “My past plays” button gives them a personal history of their results across sessions. If you want to require accounts, flip the “Allow guest players” setting off. ### How many players can join a single quiz? There’s no fixed cap — it scales with your host. On entry-level shared hosting, Quizpio comfortably runs classroom-sized rooms of 50–100 players; a stronger host handles more. Since the plugin works by having each player’s browser poll the server, the real ceiling is how many of those requests your host can serve, not a number baked into Quizpio. ### Can I configure how quizzes behave? Yes. Each quiz has its own settings in the Gutenberg editor sidebar: scoring style( speed bonus or flat), whether to show reveal screens between questions, whether players see the full leaderboard at the end, and whether the host must click Next between questions (manual mode for classroom discussion). Site-wide, you can adjust how often players’ browsers poll the server and how long reveal screens last. ### Can I export quiz results? Yes. **Quizpio Sessions click any session Export CSV** — or click **Download CSV** right on the final-results screen after hosting a game. The CSV includes nickname, rank, score, per-answer detail with the selected option and the correct answer, points awarded, and response time in milliseconds. ### What question types does Quizpio support? Multiple-choice (4 options) and true/false. Both are authored in the same **Question** block — switch between them via the Type setting in the block sidebar. The two True/ False labels are ordinary answer options, so you can rename them — useful when your quiz is written in a language other than your site’s. Either type can become a poll with the **Poll — no points** toggle. ### How is scoring calculated? Each quiz has a **Scoring style** setting. _Speed bonus_ (default) gives faster correct answers more points — between 50% and 100% of the question’s max. _Flat_ gives every correct answer the full point value regardless of speed, which is the better fit for assessments. ### What happens if a player refreshes their browser? They stay in the quiz. Player identity is stored in the browser’s local storage and persists across refreshes for up to 6 hours, or until that quiz session ends. ### Can I run two quizzes on the same page? No. Only one quiz can run per page — that means one Quizpio Quiz Embed block per post or page. If a second one is added by mistake, it is disabled automatically and shows a short notice in its place, so the first quiz keeps working. (You can run different quizzes on different posts, of course.) ### Can players leave a quiz once it has started? Yes. A **Leave** link appears on every question and reveal screen. After a confirmation prompt, the player exits the quiz cleanly. Any score they’ve already earned stays on the leaderboard, but they can’t rejoin that same session. (Players still in the lobby leave fully — their entry is removed.) ### Will I see my rank if I’m not in the top players? Yes. The leaderboard shows the top 5 during reveal screens and the top 10 on the final results screen. If you finish outside those cuts, your row appears below the list (after a “…” separator) with a YOU badge, so you always know where you stand. ### How do I run a poll or opinion question? Switch on **Poll — no points** in the question’s block settings. Poll questions have no correct answer and award no points; the reveal shows how the group voted( players see the distribution only when the quiz’s reveal setting is on — the host always sees it). If every question in a quiz is a poll, players get a survey-style finish with no scores or podium. The old workaround — setting Max points to 0 — no longer works: those questions now score normally, so switch them to polls. ### How do I translate Quizpio? The plugin ships with a `quizpio.pot` file in the `languages/` folder. Use Poedit or Loco Translate to create translations and place the resulting `.po`/`.mo` files in `wp-content/languages/plugins/`. ### Where can I report bugs or request features?

No correct answer, nothing scored; the reveal shows how the group voted. An all-poll quiz gets a survey-style finish instead of a podium. * Quiz Author role — give teachers or colleagues their own access to create and host quizzes. Each author sees only their own sessions and results; administrators still see everything. * Editable True/False labels — rename them to run True/False questions in any language. * Pre-start countdown— a short “Get ready!” on the host and player screens, so everyone starts together.* Editor completion checks — an incomplete question is flagged before you publish ( no prompt, fewer than two options, duplicate options, no correct answer marked), with the missing pieces listed inline. Drafts always save; only publishing is blocked.* Admin force-end — administrators can end any running session to clear an abandoned lobby or game. * Delete sessions by date range, not just before a single date. * Choose what happens on uninstall — remove everything (the default), or keep everything— quizzes, results, and settings — for a future reinstall. **Improved** * Session privacy — rosters, final standings, and question recaps are no longer readable by outsiders who guess a session address, and players now authenticate their live updates with their session token. If you update while a session is running, host and players should refresh once. * Accessibility — keyboard focus follows each new question, and dialogs keep focus inside. * The Time limit and Max points fields show their allowed ranges. **Fixed** * Stability and interface fixes across the host and player screens — REST requests on every permalink setting, session restore and reconnect, countdown accuracy, leaderboard and scoring edge cases, and a more thorough uninstall. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **1.1.0** * Last updated **2 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.3 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.3** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/quizpio/) * Tags * [classroom](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/classroom/)[poll](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/poll/) [quiz](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/quiz/)[trivia](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/trivia/) * [Advanced View](https://fuc.wordpress.org/plugins/quizpio/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
