๐ Scoring & Difficulty
How is the score calculated?
Points are awarded per correct answer based on difficulty: Easy = 100 points, Medium = 150 points, Hard = 200 points. Incorrect answers and timeouts score 0 points. Your total is displayed in the navbar during gameplay.
What is a "streak" and what does it do?
A streak appears in the quiz header when you answer 2 or more consecutive questions correctly. It's a visual motivator showing how many questions in a row you have answered correctly. The streak resets to 0 on any wrong answer or timeout.
What are the time limits per difficulty?
Easy: 30 seconds per question. Medium: 20 seconds per question. Hard: 15 seconds per question. The circular timer turns gold when under 10 seconds and red when under 5 seconds, alerting you to answer quickly.
What happens if the timer runs out?
If you do not answer before the timer reaches zero, the question is automatically marked as incorrect. You score 0 points, your streak resets, and the explanation for the correct answer is shown. You can then proceed to the next question.

After completing a quiz, click the "Share" button on the results screen. This opens WhatsApp with a pre-written message containing your score, accuracy percentage, points earned, and a link to QuizOxa โ so your friends can challenge you.
