Keypad Games

Description

The Keypad game is the best place to start when hosting SpeedQuizzing. It is the closest to a traditional pub quiz, as well as being great fun in the classroom or workplace. Many hosts find the Keypad game adequate for all of their hosting needs. It’s easy to host and includes plenty of optional game variations to keep players interested and engaged.

The Keypad game features four different question formats: Multiple Choice, Letters,  Numbers and Sequence

Multiple Choice

• Read a question from the laptop screen followed by anywhere between two and six multiple-choice options.
• Always include the corresponding letter when reading out the list of options. “A. London… B. New York..” rather than just saying “London…. NewYork..”
• The A,B,C,D,E,F layout means there is the flexibility to write questions with as few as two options, for instance A. True B. False… but also allows questions with up to six options.

Tip: It is advisable not to pre-warn players how many options a particular question will have to choose from. Instead you should simply stop reading at the end of the final option.

Letters

• Read a question from the laptop screen. Generally you will have explained the rules of a Letters question at the beginning of the round whereby players simply need to input the first letter of the answer, omitting ‘The’ in answers such as ‘The Lion King’ and always using a person’s first name, example “P” for ‘Sir Paul McCartney’.

Tip: Little reminders of this along the way can help, especially if new players join in mid-game.

Numbers

• Read a question from the laptop screen. A Numbers question could be a four-digit year question or a maths question or anything else where a number can be an answer such as the age of a celebrity or the number of players on a particular sports team. The main way that a numbers question differs from Multiple Choice or Letters is that players must press Enter to submit their answer.

Tip: Occasional reminders of this throughout a round can be a good thing.

Sequence

• Read a question from the laptop screen. A Sequence Question will display options on the player screen for them to tap in a particular order.

Tip: You do not need to read our the options on a Sequence question.
