With Multi-Member Team mode, a game can be played between teams composed of multiple members. Each team can have as many team members as desired. When answering a question, any member of the team can buzz in. The player that buzzes in first registers for the team. As a moderator, you can see which team buzzed in first, but you can’t tell which specific student it was.
In Multi-Member Team mode, one of the players will be designated as the “Team Captain” and each team can have as many members as possible.
Go to Multi-member Teams on the Customize page and choose the mode you want to play. You can choose from the following options:
- Player Selected Team Assignment. With player-selected teams, a player chooses a role in the team. A player can play as a Team Captain or a Team Member. The team captain selects the mascot. The team members can join the game by selecting the mascot that represents their team.
- Random Team Assignment. This option randomly assigns players to a team as they join the game. Each team will have a team captain which is randomly designated as well.
- None: Multi-Member Team will be disabled.
Additional features for Multi-Member Teams include:
- Only Allow the Team Member who Buzzes in to Answer: If this option is selected, suppose a team consisting of 10 members and a captain will exist. Since member one punched the buzzer, only that member will be able to submit an answer; the other members and the captain are not permitted to submit an answer.
- Indicate the Team Member who Buzzed in: If this option is chosen, let’s say there is a team of 10 players and a captain. When the captain submits the answer, a notification “Captain ABC submitted answer” will appear on the screens of all players, and if a member will submitted the answer then the notification will display on the captain and the rest members’ screen.
Note: Only the designated Team Captains can enter the Final Factile wager and send in the Final Factile answer.
