What is a Slideshow quiz?
A Slideshow quiz presents content one slide at a time - similar to stepping through a presentation. Each slide shows you something (an image, a rank, a fact, or a clue) and you answer a question about it before the next slide appears. You cannot jump ahead or go back, which creates a reveal structure that makes Slideshow quizzes feel like unboxing something one item at a time. Browse Slideshow quizzes to explore this format.
How to play a Slideshow quiz - step by step
- Open a Slideshow quiz and click Play Quiz.
- Slide 1 appears. It may show an image, a rank number, a partial clue, or a combination.
- Type or select your answer for that specific slide.
- The quiz confirms whether your answer is correct, then advances to slide 2.
- Repeat for each slide until all are complete.
- The final results screen shows your total score, all correct answers, and your position on the quiz leaderboard.
What does a slide typically show?
Slideshow quizzes are especially popular for ranked list formats, where each slide reveals one item and you name it:
- "Slide 3: This country has a population of 1.4 billion - name it." (Geography)
- "Slide 7: This Premier League club finished 7th in 2023 - name them."
- "Slide 2: This album cover - name the artist." (Music)
- "Slide 5: This actor appeared in these three films - name them." (Movies)
Tips for Slideshow quizzes
- Read context clues on each slide carefully - numbers, dates, or partial information on the slide often help narrow down the answer before you have fully processed the main image.
- Use the reveal structure strategically - if the quiz is a ranked list, track what has already been revealed to work out what gaps remain. Knowing slots 1, 3, and 4 often makes slot 2 deducible by elimination.
- Do not rush - unlike Classic and Table quizzes where answering all questions at once is possible, Slideshow quizzes are linear. Focus completely on the current slide.
How is scoring calculated?
Each correctly answered slide earns points. Some Slideshow quizzes are timed per slide (faster = more points); others are untimed and score purely on accuracy. Check the quiz description before starting to understand whether speed matters. See How Quiz Scoring Works for the full breakdown.
Slideshow vs other formats
Slideshow is more structured and narrative than Classic or Table formats. It works best for topics that have a natural order or visual sequence. If you want to see all questions at once, Table quizzes or the Table format may suit you better. See the Quiz Formats guide for comparisons.
