Hello Fanpoppers. por now you may have noticed a nifty new feature was rolled out this afternoon. It's the fanpop Pop Quiz, a way to test your knowledge of all sorts of arcane trivia from movies, to música to hamsters.
Before diving into the details of the game, I want to send out a hearty THANKS to the fanpop team. In particular, a big prop to link who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this feature.
I'd also like to thank all the great beta testers who helped us test and refine the feature for the past month. Finally, a thank you to link - the site that provided the nifty default ícone sets for the spot pop quizzes and superquiz.
Now onto the nitty-gritty...the specifics about the quiz.
Playing the Quiz
You can play the teste in one of two ways.
1) The Super Quiz
link is the ultimate test of fanpopper knowledge. Superquiz pulls perguntas from the full spectrum of topics on the site. Each pergunta will tell you what topic and channel it's about. Just start answering perguntas to start racking up points and winning virtual prizes. If you run across a pergunta you don't want to answer, you can simply click the "skip this question" link to get a new question.
You can also use the filter in the right column of the superquiz ("show perguntas for") to only display perguntas from a specific channel (e.g. movies) or to only display perguntas from subjects you are subscribed to.
A small module on the lower right side of the page will display your superquiz progress (how many points you've scored, how many perguntas asked and what your current prize is).
2) Individual Pop Quizzes
If you want zero in on a specific topic, we also feature pop quizzes for each fã club (spot). So for instance, if you wanted to play The Office Pop Quiz, just go to The Office fã Club and click the "quizzes" link below the spot banner (there is also a module on the right side of each fã club homepage that will allow you to start playing).
Spot-specific quizzes have their own leaderboards and prize sets (see the small module in the lower right column of the spot teste pages).
Making teste Questions
To make a teste pergunta you will need to go to the fã Club's teste and click the "add a question" link or button.
When creating a pergunta you must:
* Ask a question
* Enter at least 2 possible answers
* Select the correct answer
Optionally you may:
* Add an image
* Embed a video
* Add imagens for each of the possible answers
* Add some short trivia about the question
You have some limited editing capabilities once you publicar a question, but it's best to make sure that you have spelled everything correctly and have made the pergunta and answer factually correct before posting.
Additionally, here are some other tips for making good questions:
* Play the teste in the fã club before posting new questions. This way you can avoid making duplicate questions.
* Avoid subjective perguntas (e.g "Who do you like better?). Subjective perguntas should be posted as picks.
* Avoid perguntas that are time-specific or can be rendered incorrect por events in the future. For instance: "What's the highest grossing British film of all-time?". A better pergunta is "As of 2007, what's the highest grossing British film of all-time?". For TV shows that are still airing, a pergunta like "How many seasons of One árvore Hill"? is also a bad idea (until the show has concluded).
* Avoid vague questions: "Who did John kiss on tonight's episode?" is ambiguous if John kisses someone in every episode. A better pergunta would be "Who did John kiss in the season 3 episode, 'The Hunted'"?
Reporting Quizzes
If you see an inaccurate, inappropriate or badly worded teste question, you can flag it or contact the fanpop team.
teste creators do have limited ability to modify their perguntas after they are made, however we have curtailed these options in order to prevent any abuse.
Note that in some instances, the fanpop team will need to eliminar perguntas in order to be fair to the people participating in the game. If this happens, feel free to repost a corrected version of the question.
