How it works

What is the Intellect Grand Prix?

The Intellect Grand Prix is a live, competitive quiz game designed for classrooms and events. Teams buzz in to answer questions in real time, scored on a large-screen display while a host controls the flow from their own device — like a TV game show, no studio required.

Who does what?

Running a Competition

A competition is a single quiz match between two or more teams. Follow these steps to go from setup to game over.

1. 1
   Create a Quiz

   Go to the Quizzes tab, create a quiz, and add your questions with four options each.
2. 2
   Create Teams

   Go to the Teams tab and add the competing teams. You can bulk-create teams like Team 1–8 or add individuals.
3. 3
   Create a Competition

   Go to Competitions, give it a title, choose a Display Mode, and click Create.
4. 4
   Assign Teams & Quiz

   In the competition detail panel, assign teams (minimum 2) and select the quiz to use.
5. 5
   Launch

   Click "Launch Game". The game lobby opens — share the 6-digit PIN with players so they can join.
6. 6
   Start the Game

   Once players have selected their teams, click Start. Questions begin immediately.
7. 7
   Control the Flow

   After each buzz, reveal the answer. Use Skip if no one answers. End the game when questions run out or at any time.

Display Modes

Each competition has a display mode that adjusts colours, font sizes, and corner radii to suit different audiences.

Tournament Mode

Tournaments organise multiple teams into a knock-out bracket — group stage through to the Grand Final. Each match is an independent competition.

1. 1
   Create a Tournament

   Go to Tournaments, set the team count (must be a power of 2), and create it.
2. 2
   Assign Teams

   From the tournament page, assign teams to all bracket slots.
3. 3
   Assign Quizzes

   Each match can have its own quiz, or you can reuse one across the bracket.
4. 4
   Launch Matches

   Launch each match when its teams are ready. A competition is auto-created for that match.
5. 5
   Record Results

   When the match competition ends, the winner advances automatically in the bracket.
6. 6
   Progress to the Final

   Repeat until the Grand Final. The champion is recorded on the tournament page.

Joining as a Player

Players don't need an account. They join using the 6-digit PIN shown on the game screen or shared by the host.

1. 1
   Get the PIN

   Ask the host or read the PIN displayed on the spectator screen.
2. 2
   Go to /join

   Open the app in your browser and navigate to the home page, then enter the PIN — or go directly to /join.
3. 3
   Select your team

   Pick your team from the list. Each device should join as a different team.
4. 4
   Buzz in!

   When a question appears, tap the buzz button as fast as possible. Then select your answer.
