Game Modes

Quix supports three distinct game modes, each designed for different use cases.

Classic Quiz Mode

The standard quiz format where players compete individually to answer questions correctly and quickly.

How It Works

1. Admin creates a session with selected questions
2. Players join using a 6-digit PIN
3. Questions appear one at a time on all screens
4. Players answer within the time limit
5. Leaderboard updates after each question
6. Final results shown at session end

Question Flow

┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐
│  Question   │───▶│   Answers   │───▶│ Leaderboard │
│  Displayed  │    │  Submitted  │    │   Updated   │

       │                                     │
       └─────────────────────────────────────┘
                   Next Question

Team Mode

Split participants into teams for collaborative competition. Teams share a combined score.

How It Works

1. Admin enables Team Mode when creating the session
2. Define teams (e.g., Red Team, Blue Team)
3. Players select their team when joining
4. Individual answers contribute to team score
5. Team leaderboard shows combined standings

Team Configuration

{
  "teamMode": {
    "enabled": true,
    "maxTeams": 4,
    "maxMembersPerTeam": 50
  },
  "teams": [
    { "name": "Red Team", "color": "#EF4444" },
    { "name": "Blue Team", "color": "#3B82F6" },
    { "name": "Green Team", "color": "#22C55E" },
    { "name": "Yellow Team", "color": "#EAB308" }
  ]
}

Team Scoring

• Each correct answer adds points to the team total
• Team score = Sum of all member scores
• Ties broken by average response time

Caution

Teams should have roughly equal numbers of players for fair competition.

Best Practices

• 2-4 teams works best for most events
• Pre-assign teams for corporate events
• Let players choose for casual games
• Use team colors that match your branding

Bracket Tournament

An elimination-style voting tournament where items compete head-to-head.

How It Works

1. Create bracket items (products, ideas, options)
2. Matchups are generated automatically
3. Players vote on each matchup
4. Winners advance to next round
5. Final winner determined by elimination

Tournament Flow

Round 1 (8 items)    Round 2 (4 items)    Final (2 items)
     A ─┐
         ├─ Winner ─┐
