Description
Introduction
BQuizz is a stand-alone box that allows participants to play quizzes with their smartphones.
Connectors
BQuizz has a DC-IN connector for its power supply, an HDMI and VGA port for connection to the screen or
video projector, an Ethernet connector, two WiFi antenna connectors, a connector microphone and audio jack
output 3.5 (SPK). On the front panel, it has a power button and USB ports for transferring quizzes from a key
and updating the case software.
Connections
Screw the two Wifi antennas on the housing. Then connect BQuizz to the screen or video projector using the HDMI
or VGA cable. Optionally, you can connect the SPK audio output to your sound system. Finally, connect the DC IN
power plug.
Start / Stop
To start BQuizz, first turn on your broadcast device (video projector, screen, etc.) and then press the power button
on the front of the module. To turn it off, press the button again.
CAUTION: BQuizz has an internal SSD. You must always turn off the module using the power button. A power
failure can make it unusable.

Applications
The BQuizz system works with two mobile applications: one reserved for participants, the other for the facilitator.
These applications are available on the stores (AppStore, GooglePlay) or webapp in the box. This last solution makes
it possible to use BQuizz on a landline or mobile without any nearby telephone network.
To use the blinds (recommended), go to AppStore (iOS) or GooglePlay (Android) and look for the 'BQuizz'
applications for the participants or 'BQ Manager' for the animator.
If you use integrated applications (webapp), connect to the wifi 'BQuizz' (wifi box), launch your Internet browser and
type in the navigation bar: 'bquizz.tv' for the application of participants or 'bquizz .tv / admin 'for that of the
animator. Note: in case of DNS problem, you can also directly type the IP address of the evening module:
'http://192.168.66.1' for the participants or 'http://192.168.66.1/admin' for the animator.
Principle
The BQuizz system independently manages players and quizzes. Each player can connect to the system whenever he
wants, he can then stop playing and reconnect, his points and his profile are kept in memory. In the same way, the
animator can change the quiz file, ask questions in the disorder or change the game mode, it does not affect the
players and their number of points.
Main screen
The main screen of BQuizz is separated into two parts: a 'game' game that broadcasts logos, media, questions or
answers and a 'players' game that presents the list of participants (top 5 ranked by number of points).

Supervision
The supervision application is protected by a password ('bquizz' by default). Change it as soon as you first use the
system. The supervision interface offers 2 menus:
• Left menu: game settings,
• Right menu: List of players.
Game mode
BQuizz offers two game modes: a 'quiz' mode played from quiz files prepared with the 'BQuizz Maker' software and
a 'Buzzer' mode that allows you to transform BQuizz into a simple interactive buzzer for participants.
‘buzzer’ mode
The buzzer mode allows you to use BQuizz as an interactive buzzer without using a quiz file. In this mode, the main
interface allows you to activate or deactivate the participants' buzzers by pressing the 'play' button.
When a buzzer is triggered, the following interface appears :
The interface reminds you of the name of the team that triggered the buzzer and the number of points. You can then
choose to assign the points for a good answer (green arrow), wrong answer (red arrow) or cancel the buzz (cross).

This interface also allows you to change the number of points awarded this time. Finally, a 'padlock' icon makes it
possible to blacklist the team (see players).
A press on the cross cancels the question and all participants' buzzers are reset (answer canceled). Pressing the red
arrow removes the points from the participant and resets the buzzers of all other participants except himself (wrong
answer). He will only be able to play again at the next question. A press on the green arrow affects the points to the
team and stops the buzzers (good answer). To reset, the host must click on the play button again.
‘quiz’ mode
To load a quiz file, insert a USB key containing the file in the box and click on the button 'quiz' in the left menu. Select
the quiz and press 'ok'. The quiz supervision interface is as follows:
In the bottom menu, you can browse quiz questions. The play button allows you to play the question, that is, to
trigger the sending of this question to the participants to retrieve their answers. Each page displays the following
fields:
- A note to the facilitator's destinations (the participants do not see it),
- The question in the form of text and, possibly, the type of media related to the question (photo, audio, video)
- The text response and possibly the type of media associated with the response
- A 'delay' button to trigger a response time for participants
- A 'reply' button to display the answer to this question

Version 1.2
- A synoptic representing the type of question ('buzzer' or 'qcm') and the associated correct answers (in the example
above, the question is of the QCM type and the correct answer is A)
For the animator, the principle is:
- Play the question of your choice thanks to the play button (green button in the bottom menu),
- Stop the game of this question when he wishes,
- possibly show the answer,
- Go to the next question with the arrows.
Execution of a question of speed (buzzer)
In the case of a question of speed, the participants' buzzers are activated. Each "buzz" of a participant stops the
game and the animator has an interface to assign (or not) the points of this question (see game settings> counting
points). In the case of a correct answer (the animator clicks on the green arrow), the question is stopped, if not, it
continues to be executed.
Execution of a MCQ question
In the case of a multiple choice question, the proposals are displayed on the smartphones of the participants. The
facilitator can stop the question when he wishes, either by pressing the 'pause' button or by pressing a delay button.
In the latter case, the question will be automatically stopped after the delay (see game settings).
Note: Counting points for participants only occurs if the facilitator moves to the next question or if the facilitator
displays the answer to the question. This system allows you to replay an issue as many times as the host wants
without counting the points.
Viewing an answer
To view the answer to a question, the facilitator can click on the 'answer' button. In this case, the main display and
the smartphones of the participants display the answer to the question.

Game Settings
Numbers of players
The number of players indicates the number of current participants as well as the maximum number of participants.
You can set this number to voluntarily limit the number of teams.
Timer
This parameter represents the number of seconds that will be triggered before a question is automatically stopped
when the presenter presses the 'delay' button.
Reset
This parameter is used to reset all the counters of the participants. Indeed, BQuizz separates the counters of the
players and the different games. For example, you can play several quizzes one after the other without resetting the
counters between each quiz.
Show the results
This button displays the final result on the main screen, that is to say the first 3 players. You can go back by clicking
the button again.
Counting points
This section is important since it determines the points awarded by default to players in their responses. In the case
of the 'buzzer' mode, these points indicate the default points that are presented to the host when a participant
"buzz" (he may of course change them again live for the question).
In the case of quiz mode (that is, when a quiz file is loaded), the facilitator has the choice between: leaving the points
provided for each question in the quiz file (default choice when the file is loaded) or click 'do not use the quiz'. If you
do not use the quiz file as a source for counting points, the default points will be used instead. This principle allows
you to manually manage the points awarded even using an existing quiz file.
Display and sound
In this section, you can adjust all BQuizz display and sound settings. When you load a file, these parameters are filled
with the parameters of the quiz file but they remain editable in real time. You can change the settings at any time to
get a personalized display (title, color, font, wallpaper, ...).

Choice of resolution
BQuizz automatically adjusts its resolution according to the connected screen. However, you can force a display
resolution. When a new screen is connected, the 'refresh' button is used to retrieve compatible resolutions for this
screen.
Choice of the WIFI channel
You can change the cancel WIFI of the case. This parameter will only be taken into account after a restart.
Change password
This button is used to change your password. Modify it at least once when you first start the module. All BQuizz
systems come with the default password "bquizz".
Sign Out
This button disconnects your application from BQuizz.
Players
The list of players is available in the right tab of the application. You can change the points of each player when you
wish. You can also add or remove a player from the blacklist. A blacklisted player is not disconnected from the
system but can’t play anymore.
