Quiz Cast user guide

Run a live quiz session: one host screen, many players on phones.

Prerequisites

  • A published Quiz Builder quiz
  • Firebase configured for the environment (same stack as Quiz Builder groups)
  • Host authenticated so session REST calls can send X-PRC-User-Token

Host a session

  1. Open /quiz/{slug}/cast/ for the quiz (research-team prefixes apply when configured).
  2. Create a session: choose pace mode (host or self), optional session name, avatar pack, timer seconds/action, and whether to save results.
  3. Share the join code or QR with players.
  4. Advance through lobby → questions → results on the host UI.

Players join

  1. Open /quiz/{slug}/play/ (or the join flow the host shares).
  2. Enter the join code and pick an avatar.
  3. Follow host pacing, or self-pace when the session uses self mode.
  4. View results when the host finalizes (optional group name when saving results).
