2. Live stream
You can easily host an online quiz without video streaming, but it will be more engaging with it. As a host, you can comment on the questions, leaderboard positions and communicate with the participants in the chat.
We recommend using YouTube or Twitch streaming as free options with the lowest latency. You can embed your live stream into myQuiz or ask participants to open the stream on a second device.

3. Crowdsource questions / topics
Conduct a short survey before the quiz to find out which topics to include. It will be hard for participants to follow your quiz if they can't answer most of the questions.

6. Break a quiz into rounds
We strongly recommend splitting your quiz into multiple rounds if it is longer than 10-15 questions (30-45 mins). Breaks allow participants to discuss the questions, have a round of drinks, take a toilet break or chat with other players.

7. Fun prizes
While there is no need for expensive prizes to attract your family to participate, rewards add excitement and friendly competition to your quiz. The most popular prize ideas are thanksgiving quiz memorabilia, sweets, concert/sports tickets, and gift certificates.

8. Include polls
Not every question has to have a correct answer. While everyone is brought together during the quiz, you can poll your family about different issues. Where should you meet all together next time? What will the majority like to watch on Thanksgiving evening?
