A live quiz race feels like a lot of moving parts: questions, timers, a leaderboard, players joining from different devices, a board to race on. The good news is that Zingo Ringo collapses all of that into a short, opinionated flow. If you have ten minutes and a list of questions in your head, you can run a session today.

Step 1 — Sign in and open the dashboard

Open the login page and pick either email magic link or Google sign in. Players never see this screen — only creators sign in. Once you're inside the dashboard, the left sidebar lists Quizzes, Question Bank, Maps, and Active Sessions. We'll touch the first three.

Step 2 — Create a quiz

From Quizzes, click Create. Give it a title, pick a language, subject, and grade. These dropdowns help you stay organized as your library grows. Quizzes start as drafts — you can publish later.

Step 3 — Add at least one good question

Open the editor and add a question. You have three types to choose from:

Single Choice — exactly one answer is correct.
Multiple Choice — two or more correct.
True/False — exactly two answers, one correct.

Set a timer (10–120 seconds) and a point value (100–1000). Higher point values reward harder questions. Drag the handle on the left to reorder questions and answers — numbering updates automatically.

Step 4 — Publish

To publish you need at least one question, each with at least two answers and one marked correct. The editor will tell you exactly what's blocking publication. Once it's green, hit Publish.

Step 5 — Build (or pick) a race board

Open Maps and click Create. Upload a background image and drop at least two slot checkpoints onto the board. Style each slot with an image, color, and corner radius. The quiz isn't tied to a single map — pick one at session launch.

Step 6 — Host the session

From your published quiz, click Host. Pick a game mode:

LIVE — everyone races at their own pace, first to finish wins.
SYNC — host controls the timer and advances everyone together.
HOME — fully self-paced, great for homework.

Pick your map, share the 10-character session code, and watch players land in the lobby. Once at least one player has joined, hit Start.

Step 7 — Run it

Players answer on their own devices. Wrong answers (and timeouts) keep them on their current slot — correct answers advance them on the board. After every question they see immediate feedback and an optional explanation. When the last question is done, the analytics screen takes over.

Tips for your first session

Start with a five-question quiz so you can iterate quickly. You can always add more later.
On the free tier you can have one active session at a time and up to ten players in it. Plenty for a single classroom group.
If a player drops, they can rejoin at any time while the session is still running using the same code and display name — they'll resume right where they left off.

Where to next
