🏆 Leaderboards FAQs
What leaderboards does Quizly have?
Quizly features three leaderboards: Most Plays Overall, Most Unique Quizzes Played, and Most Points from Trivia Quizzes. Each leaderboard tracks the top 200 players over the last 30 days.
How are quiz plays counted on the leaderboards?
- Most Plays: Every play of a quiz counts as one play. If you play the same quiz multiple times, all plays count towards your ranking.
- Most Unique Quizzes Played: Counts the total number of quizzes you've played, but does not include repeated plays of the same quiz. This means multiple plays of the same quiz count as one.
- Most Points: Totals the points earned from trivia quizzes, with each correct answer counting as one point.
When are the leaderboards updated?
The leaderboards are updated dynamically to the minute, reflecting the latest activity within the last 30 days. There's no fixed cutoff; your progress is always current.
What do I need to do to appear on the leaderboards?
You must be a registered user to join the leaderboards. Your activity, including the number of quizzes played, unique quizzes completed, and points earned in trivia quizzes, will be automatically calculated to determine your ranking.
What rewards can I earn from being on the leaderboards?
- Top 200 players: The top 200 players get a colored badge for each leaderboard you rank on. All badges appear on your profile and alongside your names in the comments section.
- Top 20 players: The top 20 players on any leaderboard earn exclusive Winner nametag styles. Nametags are used to personalize your name throughout the site.
- Top 3 players: The top 3 players on any leaderboard earn prestigious Champion nametag styles. Nametags are used to personalize your name throughout the site.
How can I check my ranking on the leaderboards?
Each leaderboard includes a search feature where you can enter your name or username, including partial matches, to see how you rank. If you see a dash (-) instead of a number next to your name, it means you are not currently in the top 200 for that leaderboard.
Can I appear on more than one leaderboard?
Yes! You can rank on multiple leaderboards simultaneously based on your quiz activity. For example, you might be in the top 200 for both Most Plays Overall and Most Points from Trivia Quizzes.
