How anonymous play works — and why it matters

The fastest way to kill a shared quiz is a sign-up wall. On QuizzApp, only creators need an account — players never do.

What a player sees

Opening a quiz link shows the lobby: title, question count, time limit, and an optional name field. Type a name (or don't) and play. The name only exists to label the session in your results and, in live rooms, on the standings.

How scoring stays fair without accounts

Answers are graded on the server, never in the browser. The page a player sees contains no correct answers to extract — typed answers are checked server-side against the accepted spellings, and choice answers against the stored solution. An anonymous player and a curious one with devtools open get exactly the same information.

Live rooms without accounts

"Play with friends" follows the same principle: a room is a six-character code, and each participant is identified by a temporary token generated in their browser. No email, no password, nothing to leak. The token lives for the duration of the game.

What creators get

Every play — anonymous or not — lands in your analytics with its score, duration and per-question results. You lose nothing by removing the sign-up wall, and your quiz gains the only growth channel that matters: being effortless to share.
