On The Fly

Using your own trivia content ‘On The Fly’

An On The Fly question can be introduced into any Keypad, Nearest Wins or Buzzin’ round. You can either do a complete round of On The Fly questions or you can insert an occasional On The Fly question into a round where you have already loaded a Quizpack.

How to ask an On The Fly question

• On the main screen click the Keypad button on the On The Fly section to start an On The Fly Keypad round.

• You need to have a question prepared in your head (or written down). Decide whether it is to be Letters, Multiple Choice or Numbers.

• Let’s suppose you’ve clicked Letters. You now ask the question. “What is the capital city of France?“
• Hit Start Timer.

• Whilst the 10 seconds counts down,  Input “P” for Paris on the virtual keypad.
• The results then appear on the screen the same way they would normally. For example: “4 teams answered correctly, the correct answer is P”.
• This method work’s the same for Numbers, Multiple choice and Nearest Wins questions.

Note: On Buzzin’ questions On The Fly is even simpler since you don’t even need to input a letter.

To insert an On The Fly question into a loaded quizpack round, rather than an On The Fly round, simply hit the button at the top marked ‘Aeroplane icon’ during a round.
