Live multiplayer quizzes, polls, and trivia inside your own WordPress site. Quizpio brings the fast-paced, PIN-to-join, shared-leaderboard kind of game you’ve seen at conferences and classrooms to WordPress — with no third-party service and no external data dependency. Players join from any device by entering a PIN and a nickname. Built for classrooms, trainings, and audience engagement Teachers running classroom warm-ups or end-of-unit reviews. Trainers running team-building sessions. Course creators making lessons interactive. Membership site owners driving engagement. Trivia night hosts at bars and community centers. Event organizers wanting an audience-engagement moment. Anyone who wants a real-time shared-screen game that runs in a browser, on the site they already own. Let multiple people run their own quizzes Running a site where more than one person makes quizzes — a few teachers sharing a school site, or several colleagues each hosting their own sessions? Assign the Quizpio Quiz Author role and each author can create, edit, and host their own quizzes from the dashboard. Authors see only their own sessions, results, and CSV exports, and can delete the sessions they ran; administrators see everything across the site. Nothing to configure beyond assigning the role. Build quizzes and polls with Gutenberg blocks Each quiz is its own custom post type with its own URL, so you manage quizzes like Posts or Pages. Inside, you compose questions using the standard Gutenberg editor — multiple-choice (4 options) or true/false. Every question has its own time limit and point value, and any question can be switched to a poll — no points, no correct answer — for opinion checks and icebreakers mixed right into the game. As you build, the editor checks each question — prompting you for the question text, a second option, unique options, and a marked correct answer (polls skip that last one) — so every published quiz is ready to play. Every quiz has a settings panel where you choose: Scoring style — Speed bonus (faster correct answers earn more, scaling from 50% to 100% of max) or Flat (every correct answer earns the full value, the right choice for assessments where speed shouldn’t matter). Reveal answers between questions — show or skip the reveal screen that displays the correct answer and live vote distribution. Show full standings to players — let players see the complete leaderboard on Final Results, or just the top 10 plus their own rank. Require host to click Next between questions — switch from auto-advance to manual pacing for classroom discussion or debrief moments. Want the quiz inside an existing post or page instead of at its own URL? Drop in a Quizpio Quiz Embed block, pick a quiz from the dropdown, publish. Same quiz, played at that location. Sessions still belong to the quiz itself, so results from embedded plays roll up to one quiz history. The live host and player experience For the host: Open the quiz at its own URL (or the post where you embedded it). Hit Launch Session. Share the PIN. Watch the player list fill up, then hit Start Quiz. A brief “Get ready!” countdown brings everyone to the first question at the same moment. Run the quiz with live controls — start, skip, pause, resume, end — and a sidebar leaderboard that updates in real time. Wide screens get the leaderboard next to the question; phones stack it below. Each reveal screen shows the correct answer, how many players picked each option, and the standings going into the next question. On a poll question there is no correct answer to reveal — the screen shows how the room voted, and the summary reports a response rate rather than an accuracy figure. For the player: Visit the quiz page on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop. Enter the PIN, pick a nickname (or have it prefilled from your WordPress profile if you’re logged in), and you’re in. You get a color avatar generated deterministically from your nickname, so you have a visual identity that recurs across sessions. Tap your answer when each question appears. Watch your score climb. Poll questions are tagged as polls on your own screen, so you always know when an answer isn’t being scored. The leaderboard always shows your own row — even when you’re outside the top — with a YOU badge so you always know where you stand. Need to step away? Tap Leave; you exit cleanly without breaking the session for everyone else. At the end: A Final Results screen with a top-3 medal-card podium, summary stats, the full standings (if enabled), a per-question accuracy recap, and a “Held on” byline showing the date, time, and duration — for example, “May 17, 2026 · 2:30 PM · 12 min” — rendered in each viewer’s local timezone via the browser’s Intl API. Top-3 finishers get a confetti burst on their own screen, and the host’s results screen celebrates too — all respecting prefers-reduced-motion. If every question in the quiz was a poll, the finish is survey-style instead: response rates and vote distributions, with no scores and no podium. Guests vs. logged-in players: Guest play with just a nickname works by default — no account creation, no friction. Logged-in WordPress users get a richer experience: their nickname prefills from their profile, a “My past plays” button on the join and Final Results screens opens a personal history of every session they’ve played on this site, and they appear on the Players screen in the WordPress admin, where site owners can see who’s been playing across sessions. Both tiers play the same quiz; you choose whether to require accounts via a single setting. On refreshes and reconnects: Players who refresh, lose connection, or close the tab can rejoin and land back in the live session as it currently stands — same identity and score, and if they’d already answered the question on screen, their answer is still locked in with its result shown. Identity persists in the browser’s local storage for up to 6 hours or until that session ends. The host’s view survives refresh too. Accessible and theme-independent Quizpio is keyboard-navigable throughout, with ARIA roles and live regions so screen readers announce each phase change. The quiz interface carries its own styling and behavior rather than inheriting from the active theme, so it never picks up a theme’s fonts or layout quirks and works the same on every site. It renders in your device’s native system font, so type looks at home on Mac, Windows, or Android. All motion effects, the confetti included, respect the visitor’s reduced-motion preference. Admin tools, when you want them A dashboard with stats and an active-session callout with a one-click “Open host view.” A Sessions screen with filtering by quiz, pagination, and per-session detail showing the leaderboard plus a per-question breakdown with answer distribution, and an administrator can force-end an abandoned session from that detail page. A CSV export with Nickname, Rank, Score, Question #, Question text, Selected Option, Correct Answer, Correct?, Points, and response-time-in-milliseconds per row — filename derives from the quiz slug plus session date so downloads stay sortable in a teacher’s Downloads folder. For sites with returning players, the Players screen lists registered users with sessions-played, best score, last played, and click-through to a per-user history. Site-wide Settings cover polling interval (responsiveness vs. server load tradeoff), reveal pause duration, and a guest-allow toggle, plus manual data cleanup — delete sessions by date range, or wipe all session data. Quizpio never deletes anything on its own. Free to use, with an optional Pro add-on GPL v2, open source, and complete on its own. Everything described on this page is part of the free plugin and stays that way — no feature locks, no nags, and no upsell prompts inside the plugin. Runs on any standard WordPress host — no Node.js, no WebSocket server, no third-party service required. Translation-ready with a bundled .pot file. Deleting Quizpio removes all of its data — tables, options, quizzes, and session results — for a clean uninstall, with a setting to keep everything instead — quizzes, results, and settings — if you plan to reinstall later. Quizpio Pro is a separate paid add-on, sold as a yearly licence at https://quizpio.com/. It installs alongside this plugin and adds to it; nothing described on this page depends on it.
