Map Quiz maker

To create your custom Map Quiz, begin by uploading the image where you'll place the points. Then, add the points and position them on the image where you want your players to identify them.

Choose the 'Explore' mode if you only want to display the points' locations, the 'Play' mode if you want players to guess each point, or the 'Explore and Play' mode if you prefer them to do both.

By default, players resolve the points by clicking on the one that corresponds to the name in the heading (and the description, if there is one). However, you can choose 'Written answer' if you want them to type the answers instead.

What else can I use it for, besides maps?

You can use the Map Quiz as a custom geography quiz, but you can also have your players locate organs in the human body, components in an engine, elements in an architectural structure, parts of a diagram... The possibilities are endless!

What information can I include for each point?

You must provide a name and/or multimedia (audio or picture) to identify each point. If you select 'Written answer', the name will be mandatory.

The map quiz creator lets you add two optional text fields. One is the 'Description', which players read before solving the point. The other is the 'Feedback', which will be displayed immediately after solving the point.

How do I move the points to their correct positions?

Once you upload the image, the first point will automatically be placed in the center. Press on it, hold it down, and drag it to the desired location.

To add additional points, press on 'Add point' and repeat the same process for each point you want to place on the image.

How do I choose the game mode and the method for solving the points?

You can select the game mode in the 'Options' tab.

By default, the mode is 'Play', where players must identify each point. In 'Explore' mode, they simply navigate through all the points reading the information provided. In 'Explore and Play' mode, they first see all the information for each point, and then they must identify them.

You can decide how players solve the points in two ways. The default method is for them to simply press on the point that corresponds to the information provided. They will see everything except for the Feedback.

The other method involves writing. If you prefer them to solve the points this way, you just need to activate 'Written Answer'. They will need to press on each point and write its name, aided by the description and the multimedia file, if any.

Can I set a limited number of lives?

Yes, when the 'Lives' option is enabled in the 'Options' tab of the editor, you can choose a limited number of Lives. Players will lose a life each time they make a mistake.

Can I set a time limit?

The custom Map Quiz maker doesn’t have a tutorial yet, but we’ll post it here as soon as we have it ready.

If the points are yellow, simply navigate through all the points and read the information provided. If the points are green, read the information above and press on the point that corresponds to that information. If the points are blue, press on them and write their name.

To enlarge a picture, simply press on it. Audios will automatically start playing when the question or the info tab is loaded. You can pause and resume them using the pause/play buttons.

You can zoom in and out using the buttons, the mouse wheel or by pinching and unpinching the screen. You can always press the 'Fullview' button to return to the view that displays the full map.

If you want to save your grade, identify yourself before playing. Tap/click on 'Press here to identify yourself' and enter a Nickname, an invitation code, or log in before starting.

Once you finish the game, your score will be automatically saved, and the author of the game can view it in the Reports section.

If you are logged in as a user or as a guest, you can also view your scores in your own Reports section.

You start with 0 and can earn up to 100 depending on the points you solve correctly.

The total score of the Map Quiz is divided by the number of points. For example, if there are 10 points, each one is worth 10.

In 'Explore' mode, you just have to navigate through all the points to get a score of 100.

By default, your score remains unaffected by mistakes in the game, allowing you to achieve the maximum score if you complete all the words. However, if the game's author has enabled the 'Penalize mistakes' option, your mistakes will indeed impact your final score.

In this case, the maximum score for a point decreases by half each time you make a mistake with it. After the third error, the score for that point will be reduced to zero.

If the 'Penalize mistakes' option is enabled, you will indeed have a set number of lives, and you will lose one life with each mistake.

The remaining number of lives would be displayed in the top-left corner of the screen.

By default, there is no time limit, but the author can turn on the 'Time' option to set a maximum time to complete the Map Quiz.

The remaining time would be displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

If you are stuck and want to exit the game, press the 'Settings' button, then click 'Quit'. The game will end, and your current score will be saved.
