# Live Trivia
> Multiplayer trivia games to engage any audience.
## What is it?
Live Trivia allows you to run a multiplayer trivia game in real-time. It is a great tool to entertain and collect market research data. Live Trivia can be seamlessly integrated into a range of marketing campaigns and is excellent for in-venue activations.
## How do I build one?
### Step 1: Add a Live Trivia to your Hub
* Navigate to your **Engagement Hub**.
* Once there, click the **Plus icon,** select **Games** and then **Live Trivia.**
* Input an **internal name** for the card and click **Add.**
* You will then see your new card has been added to your Hub.
### **Step 2: Set up your Live Trivia start time**
* Clicking on the **Live Trivia** will open the editing module.
* **(1)** Allows you to set the **duration** and your Live Trivia's start/finish time.
When running a Live Trivia in-venue we recommend setting a game duration of around 2 minutes and manually starting your trivia rather than scheduling it. For a guide on running your Live Trivia in-venue click [here](/support-resources/general/running-your-live-trivia-in-venue). When not running a Live Trivia in-venue, we recommend setting a game duration of 5 days and scheduling your Live Trivia.
* **(A)** Set how long your game will run for.
* **(B)** Set the start and finish time of your Live Trivia game. 
* **(a)** Select the **timezone**.
* **(b)** Set the **start** date and time of the trivia.
* **(c)** Set the **end** date and time for the trivia.
* **(d)** Toggling this option on will automatically award the prizes once the Live Trivia game ends.
This feature requires the Live Trivia to be scheduled to be enabled.
* **(2)** Add **live data feeds**. These are optional, however, we highly recommend adding them if you are running your Live Trivia in-venue as they provide an additional point of engagement for your audience.
Live data feeds work by pulling through data from your entrant's responses to your Live Trivia questions and then displaying it in a fun & engaging manner for your crowd. Below is a list of the live data feeds;
* **Leaderboard:** The Leaderboard screen will display the top 10 current high scores in your Komo Live competition.
* **Beat the expert:** To get your players excited at the possibility to beat the experts, use the 'beat the expert' screen. Simply input the expert's score in the screen set-up settings and your screen is ready to go.
* **Question results:** The question results screens pull the live results to a selected question and displays it on the big screen.
* **Hardest question:** This action screen shows the most challenging question and the percentage of people who answered incorrectly.
* **Smartest team:** The smartest team screen pits teams opposing each other by revealing which team has scored the highest.
Each live data feed is set up a little bit different, however, as a basis, these are the general settings.
* **(A)** The live data feed's **header title**.
* **(B)** Upload your **brand's logo** or **(C)** disable the logo here.\
The recommended sizing is 300w x 300h with a transparent background.

## "Go live" checklist
Ready to go live with your Live Trivia? We recommend reviewing the following list before launching and double-checking if you have:
* All images uploaded to each screen are the **correct dimensions**. Export image files in 2x to ensure none of the images appear pixelated.
* Added all your trivia questions (including imagery where possible).
* Used **survey** and [**market research**](https://blog.komo.tech/how-businesses-are-using-komo-for-market-research) questions to gain insights and user-generated social media content. (Consider including a Prefix in front of these sorts of questions, e.g. 'BONUS POINTS', 'HAVE YOUR SAY?', or 'FAN POLL')
* Created [**personalized communications**](/interactive-features/features/personalised-prizing/index) for your market research questions.
* Add all your brand/social links to the **Social media** tab on the Finished screen.
* Added your **social sharing** copy in the settings tab, giving users the best experience and increasing the likelihood of your game being shared.
* Added a **Call to action** bar on the Finished screen. This is shown at the end of the Live Trivia when people are reviewing their scores. This can be one of the most potent commercial tools in the game - it is a simple CTA that always receives a great click-through rate.
* Hyperlinked your [**T\&Cs**](/getting-started/resources/terms-conditions/index) to the opt-in-field, which is created in the **data capture** section of the settings tab.
* All your **communications** (Major Prize Winner, Minor Prize Winner, Everybody Else, Registration) are fully set up and ready to send with the **unique gameplay link** included. The **unique gameplay link** allows the player to come back after the game is completed to check their score.
* You have added and attached a **Leaderboard** to your Live Trivia game.
* If you are using **coupons**, make sure the coupons created are set up correctly. Check the coupon limits are set, the copy for each screen is right and you have linked the appropriate coupons to your communications.
* Ensure your **Prize** awarding rules are set up correctly.
* Uploaded **images** for all 'prize' recipients and those not winning a prize with a "thanks for playing image."
* Uploaded images to the **Big screens** (if running an in-venue trivia). Make sure to include your logo on the bottom of each image and the copy "Congratulations" on the top for the **Winner** screen as the winner's name will appear in the middle.
* Set up the **action screens** which pull live data from the trivia game. These can be used to promote your current game or to promote pre-registrations for future games. Example action screens include: "The Top 10", "The Hardest Question", "Team Game Results", "Fan Poll Results."
* **Tested through your game** with a couple of people to ensure all of your communications and images are as you wish them to be. You can [see how to test your game here](/getting-started/hub-setup/card-testing/index). Then you're ready to go live!

## FAQ
**What happens in the event of a tie?**
Answers in Live Trivia are recorded using millisecond accuracy, but they are normalized into points. i.e. For a 20-second question, points are calculated by `(time remaining in ms)/ 20,000 \* 10,000`. Therefore, a tie on points is unlikely. However, if it does occur, whichever user entered first is awarded first place.
**What are the recommended sizes for each image?**
Click [here](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o91hAIgitUKO7jhpfO5aFD-cDjgYiRrLXIKGgwZKVIE/edit?usp=sharing) to view our Live Trivia design guidelines.
**What's the difference between a Quiz Card and a Live Trivia game?**
The Quiz Card allows you to challenge your audience at any time, it is always open, and users can take as long as they like to answer questions.
The Live Trivia is best described as a 'pub quiz' available to anyone, anywhere. The Live Trivia is open for a set amount of time (this can be as little or as long as you like), and then once started, users have a set amount of time to answer and be crowned the smartest *Insert topic/team* Fan.
**What is an invite-only Live Trivia game and why would I want to do this?**
An invite-only Live-trivia is when you want only a subset of your community to be able to take part in a trivia competition - this is often done when running larger campaigns and users can 'win' entry into a final private trivia game to crown a winner. You can see [how to set this up here](/interactive-features/quizzes/live-trivia-invite-only/index).

## Top tips
* Aim to have 8-12 questions for maximum engagement.
* Base your Live Trivia on a topic that's fun and interesting e.g. TV show, movies, Christmas etc.
* Use images in your questions - a cover photo and/or images for each answer. This brings your game to life! You don't want to play a game that's just plain text...
* Include survey questions. Get to know your audience by asking specific questions about your business or anything you're curious about knowing. This is a bonus points question, your audience will definitely answer it as whatever answer they select, they will get points for!
* Design your Cover and Data Capture Form screen early so you are able to promote your game for users to register. You can then design the rest of the game while promoting it at the same time. Your game will remain closed until you decide to publish it live.
* We highly recommend adding prizing details to your designs, ie: First place wins X.
* Create test games of your trivia so you can see how it will look from your audience's perspective. This allows you to see the game in action and spot any changes you may need to do.
* Set up a Call to Action bar on the Finished screen to direct users back to your Hub to view their position on the Leaderboard or to take part in other competitions and games.
* Use your Data Capture screen as your cover image. This should include the name and type of your Live Trivia and prizing details. Make sure to follow the sizing recommendations for the Cover and Data Capture screen as they will be different!
* Ensure the 'Shuffle answers' option is on to avoid cheating!
