Self-Paced Quiz with Live Leaderboard

Basically, I would like to have a screen displaying the quiz leaderboard/results in a room throughout the day, while allowing people to walk in at any time, scan a QR code, and complete the quiz independently at their own pace.

Ideally, participants should be able to start the quiz whenever they want, answer all the questions without waiting for me to manually advance to the next one, and have their scores automatically added to a leaderboard displayed on the main screen.

I tried generating a direct link to the poll I created, but participants who join through the link get stuck on a screen saying:

"Get ready, [name]!
[X] participants have already joined"

They cannot proceed until I manually open the next question from the presenter view.

Is there a way to set up a self-paced quiz with an always-visible, automatically updating leaderboard, where participants can join and play at any time without requiring the host to manually launch each question?

Hi ​@norbert20 👋

Thanks for explaining what you’re looking to do. Slido quizzes are host-led, so participants move through the questions together and the host must launch each one. Slido doesn’t support self-paced quizzes with a live leaderboard.

As a workaround, you could create a survey with multiple-choice questions and share its link or QR code. Participants can complete it at their own pace, and you can review the results afterward, but surveys don’t include a leaderboard. Learn how to create a survey.

I hope that helps!

Best~
