Quiz Party is an interactive game that teachers can use in the classrooms to assess student understanding of a subject. Teachers choose a Study.com quiz to display on a projected screen, and students answer the questions on their own devices (phone, tablet, etc.). Quiz Party is a twist on Study.com quizzes that fosters classroom interaction, promotes long-term retention, and makes learning fun!


To start a Quiz Party, sign in with a Study.com Teacher Plan account. Your students do not need to have an account to participate in the quiz game, but you will need: 

  • A Study.com quiz
  • 10 to 15 minutes of class time
  • 2+ students, each with a computer, a tablet or a smartphone
  • A device (usually a projector or a monitor) to project the teacher's screen
