Quiz leaderboard

Run a live quiz. Watch the leaderboard react to every answer.

Guests scan a QR code, answer on their phone and climb the board in real time. Automatic scoring, personal rank after every question, nothing to install - perfect for events, booths, classrooms and team days.

How it works

From questions to a roaring leaderboard in three steps.

1

Build your quiz

Pick the Quiz leaderboard type and add up to 30 multiple-choice questions. Set 2-6 answers and a point value per question - harder questions can be worth more.

2

Share the QR code

Every quiz board ships with a QR code that opens the quiz on any phone. Participants type a name or alias and start - no app, no sign-up, no friction.

3

The board comes alive

Every answer is scored server-side the instant it's submitted. Rows jump on the big screen, and each participant sees their own rank move on their phone.

Why BoardQ quizzes

Built for the moment the room looks at the screen.

📱

No app, no accounts

Scan → type a name → play. The whole quiz runs in the phone browser, so a queue of guests gets through in seconds.

Live after every answer

The leaderboard doesn't wait for the end - it reorders in real time with each submitted answer, on every open screen.

🛡️

Cheat-resistant scoring

Answers are graded on the server; correct options never reach the phone before answering, and answers lock once submitted.

🏅

Personal rank on the phone

After each question participants see their points and position - “You're #3 of 27” - which keeps everyone playing to the last question.

🎯

Points per question

Weight your quiz: warm-ups worth 1 point, finale worth 20. Sorting is by highest score, ties handled automatically.

✏️

Editable to the last minute

Adjust questions, answers and points in the board settings any time - changes go live on save, even minutes before you start.

Where it shines

One quiz board, many rooms.

🎪 Events & trade-show booths

Give visitors a reason to stop: a branded quiz on their phone and a live ranking on your booth screen. Works for press activations, product launches and conference lounges.

🏫 Classrooms & training

Turn revision into competition. Students answer at their own pace while the class board fills up - no accounts, GDPR-light, alias-friendly.

🏢 Team days & all-hands

Ice-breakers, company trivia, kick-off energizers. Set it up in minutes, throw the QR on a slide, and let the leaderboard do the entertaining.

📺 Webinars & streams

Share the link in chat instead of a QR code. Remote viewers play along on their phones while you present the live board on screen.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do participants need to install an app?

No. They scan a QR code (or open a link), type a name or alias, and take the quiz in their phone's browser. Nothing to install, no account needed.

How is the quiz scored?

Automatically, on BoardQ's servers. Correct answers are never sent to the phone before a question is answered, so it's cheat-resistant. Each question has its own point value.

Does the leaderboard really update live?

Yes - after every single answer, not just at the end. Rows move in real time on every open screen, which makes the board exciting to watch on a big display.

Can participants see their own ranking?

Yes. After each answer they see whether they were right, the points earned and their current position. At the end they get their final score and rank.

Can I edit questions after creating the quiz?

Yes, right up until the quiz starts. Questions, answers and point values go live the moment you save.

Can I brand it for my event?

Yes. Custom backgrounds, themes, your own logo (BoardQ branding removable) and full custom CSS - the quiz and board can match your brand identity.

Your first quiz can be live in five minutes.

Free to start. Unlimited participants. No credit card.
