A quick guide for players

We’ve moved to v3.
Just open your browser and play.

You no longer need to install the vQuiz controller on your Home Screen. The new version works directly in your phone, tablet or computer’s browser.

Open the v3 player controller

For players joining a quiz. Your quiz master will provide the event code.

Back in the quiz in three steps

  1. Open the new controller

    Use v3.browser.vquiz.io in your usual browser. Use this address instead of opening the old vQuiz icon.

  2. Sign in, or continue as a guest

    Sign in with your player account. Or choose “Continue as guest” and enter a team name—no email or password needed. You don’t need a quiz-master account to play.

  3. Enter your event code

    Ask your quiz master for the code, enter it in the controller and you’re ready. Keep using the same browser throughout your event.

What about the old Home Screen app?

You can remove the old vQuiz Home Screen app or shortcut once you’ve checked that you can access the new controller. You don’t need to keep it to play v3.

Using a guest team? Check before deleting.

Guest access is saved on the device and in the browser or installed app where you joined. It may not transfer to your browser. Finish any event you’re playing in the old app before removing it. Don’t clear browser data or sign out if you need to keep that guest team.

  1. Open the new controller and check you can sign in or join as a new guest.
  2. Find the old vQuiz icon on your Home Screen and press and hold it.
  3. Choose your device’s option to remove the shortcut or uninstall the app. You don’t need to delete your vQuiz account.

Prefer a Home Screen icon? Installation is still optional in v3. Open the new controller’s menu and choose “Install vQuiz”, or “How to install” on iPhone and iPad.

A few things to know

Do I need to download anything?
No. Open the controller link and play in your browser. Adding it to your Home Screen is your choice.
Can I keep using my player account?
Use the player sign-in screen in the new controller. If you’ve forgotten your password, choose “Forgot your password?”. Guest teams don’t have a password and can’t be recovered that way.
I’m still seeing an old screen. What should I do?
Check you’re opening the new controller address above, rather than an old bookmark or installed app. If v3 gets stuck on an update, use Check for updates to open the recovery page. Avoid clearing site data if you’re playing as a guest.
What else has changed?
Guest play, clearer question transitions, improved reconnection and more. Read the full changelog.
