What is a Quiz Battle?

Quiz battles are a fun and exciting way for learners to test their knowledge and compete against each other within EvaluAgent LMS.

This feature is ideal for creating a sense of friendly competition and encouraging learners to enhance their knowledge and skills on Admin-approved topics and questions.

Each quiz battle consists of three rounds, with each round containing four quiz questions that both players must answer. The winner of the quiz battle is determined by the player who answers the most questions correctly.

Common FAQs

Do I have to answer the questions at the same time?

Answer: No! When you accept the challenge, EvaluAgent will send you a notification each time it's your turn. This means agents who work in different offices or in different shift patterns can still compete against each other within a 48-hour window.

Who chooses what to focus on?

Answer: The user who challenges the other user can choose the topic of the questions. This allows players to tailor the game to their interests and knowledge, and makes the battles even more engaging and challenging.

How does the system generate questions for Quiz Battles?

Answer: When setting up the quiz battles feature, you can reuse already existing questions from your question library, ensuring that they are relevant, engaging, and diverse for each available quiz battle topic.

How can I keep topics fresh

Answer: From the Engage screen, click on the existing Quiz Topic you wish to refresh and select the edit option. Here you can add/remove questions to keep it up to date for new battles or delete the topic.
