How do you play?
The host starts a quiz by clicking "Start new quiz round", gets a QR code and game code, and invites the group.
Everyone who wants to join scans the QR code with their phone (or goes to quiz4.me and enters the game code manually). The game is designed to be played together in the same location where everyone can hear the music, but it can also be played remotely via Teams/Meet if you can share audio in the meeting. You can have 1 or as many players as you want competing simultaneously. Each song ends with a results view showing the correct year and updating the points immediately.
How do you start a game?
- Click "Start new quiz round" on the home page
- Choose a music category (e.g. 80s, Christmas songs)
- Choose playback device: Open Spotify or Spotify Link.
- You can press Play to test the sound
- Choose "Create quiz"
- You now get a game code and QR code that others can use to join
- When everyone has joined, choose "Start game" to start the first song!
How do you join a game?
- Scan the QR code with your phone (or go to quiz4.me and click "Join quiz round")
- If you scanned the QR code, skip to step 3. Otherwise: enter the game code you received from the host
- Enter your name
- Press "Join"
- Wait for the host to start the round
- When the song plays, guess which year it was released by entering a year. Tip: You can enter just 2 digits for the last 100 years. 10 = 2010, 97 = 1997
- Press "Guess!" before time runs out
How are points calculated?
Points are based on two factors:
1. How close to the correct year you guess:
- 1000 points: Exactly the right year!
- 900 points: 1 year off
- 800 points: 2 years off
- 700 points: 3 years off
- and so on...
2. How fast you answer:
You get a deduction of 2 points for every second that passes before you submit your guess. So it pays to be fast!
Points from all rounds are added together and the one with the highest total score wins!
What are the "Show on screen" and "Cast display" buttons?
Show on screen: Opens a separate window/tab that displays the game code, QR code and participant list in large format. Perfect for showing on a TV or projector so everyone can see who's playing. (Only visible when using a computer)
Cast display: If you have a Chromecast, you can cast the display window directly to your TV instead of opening a new window. (Icon only appears if the system finds a Chromecast to cast to)
