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. #### 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. 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. 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. **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. 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`. **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 in the Players admin page so 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 come back and pick up where they left off. 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 admin with filtering by quiz, pagination, and per-session detail showing the leaderboard plus a per-question breakdown with answer distribution. 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, a Players admin 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 old sessions by date, or wipe all session data. Quizpio never deletes anything on its own. #### Free, no subscription, no external service GPL v2, open source. There’s no paid version, no subscription, 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. Clean uninstall removes its own tables and options. ## 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.

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. ### 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 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 or subscription? No. Quizpio is free and open source under GPL v2. There are no upsell prompts, nags, or feature locks inside the plugin, and there’s no separately-sold paid version. ### 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 the ⬇ button next to any ended session in the dashboard. 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. ### 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. (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? Set the question’s **Max points** to 0. Everyone’s score stays unchanged, so the question acts as a pure opinion poll, and the reveal screen shows the live distribution of the room’s answers. With 0 points, the option marked “correct” only controls which answer is highlighted on the reveal screen. ### 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?
