How Clicker​Companion works

Create a quiz, host it live in your classroom and let students answer on their own devices.

Creating a quiz

Sign in to build your own quizzes. They are listed under My Quizzes.

  1. 1Click Create Quiz in the top bar to start a new quiz.
  2. 2Give the quiz a title and, if you like, a description.
  3. 3Click Add question, type the question and fill in at least two answers.
  4. 4Mark the correct answer with the check button next to it. A question can have more than one correct answer.
  5. 5Set the show duration (reading time before students can answer) and the play duration (time to answer), in seconds.
  6. 6Click Save. You can change the quiz later with the pencil icon next to it in My Quizzes.

Hosting a game

Sign in to host any quiz. The game runs in your browser tab, so keep it open until the quiz is finished.

  1. 1Pick a quiz on Home, Quizzes, Saved Quizzes or My Quizzes and click Continue to Lobby.
  2. 2Put the game PIN from the lobby on the classroom screen, together with the student app address.
  3. 3Wait until your students appear in the player list, then click Start Quiz.
  4. 4Each question is shown for its show duration. Then students can answer until the play duration runs out or everyone has answered.
  5. 5After each question you see how the class answered. Click Next Question to go on, or Finish Quiz after the last question.
  6. 6When the quiz is over, choose Back to Lobby to play again with the same players, or Quit to close the game.

Joining as a student

Students don't need an account: the student app address and the game PIN are all they need.

Game PIN
6 digits, shown in the lobby
  1. 1Open the student app on a phone, tablet or laptop.
  2. 2Enter the 6-digit game PIN from the teacher's lobby.
  3. 3Choose a username and wait for the teacher to start the quiz.
  4. 4When a question opens, pick your answer before the time runs out.

Scoring and results

Every answer is checked against the answers you marked as correct.

  • An answer counts as correct when the student picks one of the correct answers. Answer speed does not affect the score.
  • After each question you see how many players picked each answer and who got it right.
  • At the end you see the number of correct answers for the whole quiz, and the session is saved automatically.
  • Open Results in the sidebar to look back at your sessions: the overall accuracy and, per question, what each player answered.

FAQ

Answers to common questions.

Do students need an account?
No. Students only enter the game PIN and a username. Only teachers sign in, to create and host quizzes.
Why can't I click Start Quiz?
Start Quiz becomes available once the questions have loaded and at least one player has joined the lobby.
A student can't join. What should they check?
That they use the student app address on this page and type the PIN exactly as it appears in your lobby. A PIN only works while its game is open.
What happens if I close the host tab?
The game runs in your browser tab, so closing it stops the quiz for all players. Keep the tab open until you have finished.
Where can I find the results of earlier games?
Under Results in the sidebar. Every quiz you finish while signed in is saved there.
