Is generating a QR code free?

Yes. You will get a QR code for your quiz game or quiz link automatically free of charge.

How far in advance can I schedule a quiz game and generate its QR code?

You can schedule a game up to 180 days in advance (paid plans only).

Can I download the QR code as an image to use in print materials?

Yes. You can download the QR code for a scheduled live game, or download the QR code after creating a shareable link to your quiz.

How long does a QR code stay valid?

The QR code for a live game expires once the game ends. The QR code for a shareable quiz link stays valid until you delete the quiz or change its sharing settings.

Does the QR code change if I edit the quiz?

The QR code does not change after editing the quiz. Each scheduled game has its own QR code, valid until the game ends. Each quiz link also has its own QR code that remains valid unless you delete the link or change its settings.

Can I show the QR code on screen during the game?

Yes. The QR code is shown automatically on the game poster screen until the game starts. You can also show it again at any time from the host menu during the game.
