FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do study games really help you learn?
Games that make you recall answers are a form of retrieval practice, one of the best-supported study methods. The review of your misses matters as much as the score.
How does Quiz Battle work?
The host picks a set, how many questions (5 to 20) and the time per question (10 to 30 seconds). Everyone answers at once, and there's a podium at the end.
Do I need a quiz to play?
No. Flashcard decks work too: the other cards' answers become the wrong choices.
