Quiz
Set up multiple-choice or typed-answer questions, their order and rules, and a prize ranked by score and speed.
A quiz asks players a set of questions and scores their answers. The best scores win a leaderboard prize, declared when the game closes. Here, Lindenhall's Winter Quiz asks three winter questions, and the three best scores win a skating pass.
