Duels

Quiz with friends from a single link

A duel turns a finished Quizcam quiz into a link you can send to anyone. Whoever opens it plays the same questions in their browser: no app to install, no account, no sign-up, no email address.

How to send a quiz to friends in three steps

1

Make a quiz for your friends

Start from a photo of your notes, a PDF or text you paste in. Quizcam writes the multiple-choice questions from that material, so the duel is about your class, not a generic question bank.

Quizcam input options: camera, PDF and pasted text
2

Share the quiz link

One tap on a finished quiz turns it into a duel link. Send it through any messenger, group chat or email. Your friend does not download anything and does not create an account.

Compare the results

Both of you land on the same leaderboard. After that you go through the quiz question by question: who answered what, and the explanation for the correct answer.

What your friend sees when they open the link

The duel link opens a normal web page. There is no install step, no account screen and no email field between the tap and the first question. It works on any phone and on a computer, and it shows up in English, German or Spanish depending on the language of the person opening it.

A nickname, then straight in

The only thing to enter is a nickname. The page asks for a nickname rather than a real name, and says so on the screen.

The same questions, 20 seconds each

Your friend answers exactly the questions you played, with 20 seconds on the clock per question. Same material, same time limit, comparable result.

One leaderboard for both of you

When the last question is done, both scores sit on the same leaderboard, followed by a question-by-question view of who answered what, with the explanation.

A rematch with their notes

The recipient can send a rematch built from their own material. That side needs the app, which runs on iPhone and iPad as one purchase.

Study group quizzes: why quizzing each other works

Answering a question from memory is a different activity from reading the same page again. Research on the testing effect and on retrieval practice points in the same direction: pulling an answer out of your head is what makes it easier to find later. A duel is a small, concrete reason to do that, because someone else is waiting for your score.

Want to see how it feels without the app? Our free practice quizzes work the same way: play one in the browser, then send your score to a friend and see if they beat it.

What happens with a shared quiz link

A duel link carries study material and a score, and nothing more. The page is built so that neither side has to hand over personal data to play.

Nickname instead of a real name

Players enter a nickname. The page points that out on the screen where the name is typed in, so nobody puts their full name on a leaderboard by accident.

No account, no email address

Playing a duel needs no sign-up, no account and no email address. There is nothing to create and nothing to delete afterwards.

Report function on every duel

Every duel page has a way to report inappropriate content, so anything that does not belong in a quiz can be flagged from the page itself.

Not indexed by search engines

Duel pages are deliberately kept out of search engines. The material on them belongs to the person who made the quiz, and it should be reachable through the link only.

Frequently asked questions

Do my friends need the app to play?

No. A duel link opens in the browser. There is no app to install, no account to create, no sign-up and no email address. The app is only needed if your friend wants to start a rematch built from their own notes.

How do I send a quiz to my friends?

Make a quiz in Quizcam from a photo of your notes, a PDF or pasted text. One tap turns the finished quiz into a duel link, which you can send through any messenger, email or group chat.

Can I play on a laptop?

Yes. The duel page runs on any phone and on a computer. Quizcam itself, the part that creates quizzes, runs on iPhone and iPad.

How much time do I get per question?

Every question in a duel runs for 20 seconds. The clock is the same for both players, so the leaderboard compares like with like.

Is it free?

Opening a duel link and playing it costs the recipient nothing: no app, no account, no payment. On the creating side, three new quizzes a month are free. Premium is $5.99 per week, $9.99 per month or $44.99 per year, with a seven day free trial on the yearly plan. See pricing for details.

Can we play in German or Spanish?

Yes. The duel page speaks English, German and Spanish and follows the language of the person who opens the link.

What stops someone from sharing something inappropriate?

Every duel page carries a report function for inappropriate content. Players enter a nickname instead of a real name, and the page says so. Duel pages are also kept out of search engines, because they hold someone else's study material.

Can my friend send a quiz back?

Yes. After the results, the recipient can start a rematch built from their own notes. That step needs the app, which runs on iPhone and iPad as one purchase.

Send the link. See who wins.

Make the quiz on your iPhone or iPad, share it as a duel, and compare answers question by question.
