Hi Gina. I’m pleased you find QB useful. Currently videos in questions and a built-in timer is not available. In terms of a timer though, you could use a separate timer if you like. I can’t give you an ETA for when they might be included, but they are on the wish-list.

I am an educator who creates the majority of the games and activities that I use in my classroom. I want the best of everything for my students and, frankly, I rarely find what I think would be educationally stimulating, appropriate and fun for my classes. However, your Quiz Boxes game is awesome! I love it!!! It is much better than some of the quizzes that are available for a fee. I love the fact that your quiz game is easy to customize. I wish, however, that I could insert video clips and a timer into some of the boxes. Do users have the ability to add these features to the quizzes; or, is that something that would need to be built or coded into the quiz program by you? I apologize if you have already addressed these questions. Thank you for creating a wonderful classroom quiz game. You rock:-)!

No, not for our first game, but I plan to. This week we have enjoyed the Junior Maths, the Simpsons and the Christmas quizzes.

Welcome back to the classroom Jan. I’m glad it all went really well. Did you have the students making the quizzes?

Stu, you saved me today.
Imagine the scene… school picnic in the park all organised and we wake up to pouring rain. Your game kept them engaged for ages. Thanks so much.
Just what I need now I’m back in the classroom.

OK…That’s my suggestion for the future then!

Hello,

Very much enjoy using your program, however I am currently in a classroom situation where my interactive whiteboard is set as a second screen, and applications have to be physically moved over to the second screen in order to be displayed. I haven’t been able to find a way to move Stu’s Quiz Boxes, so unfortunately my use of the program has drastically decreased. I eagerly await an update where the window of the application can be moved!

I’m really glad you like it Christian. If you have a read of this article, you’ll see I actually designed QuizBoxes to be kid-friendly with the intention of getting students designing and creating their own quizzes to share both at school and outside. http://quizboxes.com/2007/08/16/quiz-making-a-whole-class-activity/
