The quiz game consists of two parts, an Oral and a Written quiz. The Oral quiz: - You read the questions out loud so that everyone can hear them. - The participant who first presses the button "Question 1(10) - Press to answer!", becomes the first in the answer queue, the second fastest in second place in the queue, etc. - If the first one answers "Wrong", then the next one in the queue gets to answer, etc. - Those with the wrong answer get -1 point, but can answer again after 3 seconds, but then become the last one in the answer queue. - You can press "Show results list" whenever you want, and all participants will then see the results list. - When you reach the limit of questions or points, the winner list will be displayed on all devices. – When you press “Reset”, all the winner lists disappear and you can start a new game!

Correct answer => 1 point, Wrong answer => -1 point. - The QuizMaster clicks only on the correct answers and then presses the button: 'Accept choice / Submit next question'. - When you reach the limit of questions or points, the winner list will be displayed on all devices. - When you press ‘Reset’, all the winner lists disappear and you can start a new game! Technical solution: This is a wireless network solution with a QuizControl (Manager) and a QuizSender (Participants).
