Built for pace
The speed quiz app built around a 10‑second clock
Qwiz Rush is a real‑time speed quiz you host from any screen. Every player answers on one synchronized 10‑second countdown, the answer reveals the instant it ends, and a timing bonus rewards the fastest correct answers — so speed decides the win.

A fast loop, not a slow quiz
Speed quizzing lives or dies on pace. Qwiz Rush keeps one tight loop: the host pushes a question, every player gets the same 10-second countdown, the clock runs out, the answer is revealed, scores update, and the next question fires. There is no waiting around and no dead air between rounds — just a steady, competitive rhythm the whole room shares.
Because the countdown is a single shared clock corrected for device timing, the 10 seconds mean the same instant on every screen. Nobody gets a head start, and the whole room lands on zero together — exactly what pro speed quizzing needs.
How the timing bonus decides the winner
A correct answer earns a base score plus a timing bonus. The bonus is largest for the quickest correct answers and tapers off as the clock winds down, so two players who both get it right are separated by how fast they locked it in. A wrong answer scores zero, which means raw speed only pays off when you are also correct — you cannot spam the buzzer and win.
The result is a leaderboard where being first and right matters. Scoring and anti-cheat are handled server-side, so the fast finger that tops the board genuinely earned it, and the standings you see are the real ones.
Run a speed quiz in four steps
Build a set of quick-fire questions
Sign in and create a question set. Draft a batch with the AI helper, then edit anything before you save — multiple choice, first-letter and numbers all run on the same fast loop.
Put the code on the big screen
Start the game and open the projector view on whatever screen the room can see. The game code sits on it the whole time, so late arrivals can join without interrupting the round.
Players join on their own device
Everyone opens a browser, types the short code and picks a name. No app, no accounts and no personal data collected from players by default.
Push a question and let the clock decide
Every player gets the same synchronized 10-second countdown. The answer reveals the instant it ends, the timing bonus rewards the fastest correct answers, and the next question fires straight after.
Why a Qwiz Rush speed quiz stays fast
Six things keep the pace up once the questions are in — the shared clock, the timing bonus, and four decisions that stop a round stalling.
One synchronized 10-second clock
Every player answers on the exact same countdown, corrected for device clock skew, so nobody gets extra time and the whole room lands on zero together.
Fast answers win
A correct answer earns a base score plus a timing bonus — the quickest correct answers score highest, so speed, not just accuracy, decides the leaderboard.
Instant reveal, instant scores
The moment the clock runs out the answer is revealed and the live leaderboard updates, then the host fires the next question — no dead air between rounds.
Three quick question types
Multiple choice, first-letter and numbers all run on the same fast loop, so you can keep the pace up without ever slowing down to type long answers.
No install, no accounts
Players join with a short game code in any browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or classroom board — no app to download and no login required by default.
Fair by design
Scoring and anti-cheat are server-authoritative, so a fast tap is a fair tap and the final leaderboard reflects who was genuinely quickest and correct.
Frequently asked questions
How long is each question?
Each core question runs on a synchronized 10-second countdown by default. The host can set a per-question time limit, and song rounds get a little longer, but the standard speed round is a tight 10 seconds.
How does the timing bonus work?
A correct answer earns a base score plus a timing bonus that is largest for the fastest correct answers and tapers off as the clock runs down. A wrong answer scores zero, so being quick only pays when you are also right.
Do I need to install a speed quiz app?
No. Qwiz Rush runs entirely in the browser. You host from any screen and players join with a short game code on their own device — no app store, no downloads, and no account required by default.
How many people can play at once?
There is no fixed player cap to host, so the same fast loop works for a small team, a full classroom, or a packed pub. Everyone shares the same countdown and the same live leaderboard.
