Hello Fanpoppers. 의해 now 당신 may have noticed a nifty new feature was rolled out this afternoon. It's the 팬팝 Pop Quiz, a way to test your knowledge of all sorts of arcane trivia from movies, to 음악 to hamsters.

Before diving into the details of the game, I want to send out a hearty THANKS to the 팬팝 team. In particular, a big prop to link who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this feature.

I'd also like to thank all the great beta testers who helped us test and refine the feature for the past month. Finally, a thank 당신 to link - the site that provided the nifty default 아이콘 sets for the spot pop 퀴즈 and superquiz.

Now onto the nitty-gritty...the specifics about the quiz.

Playing the Quiz

당신 can play the 퀴즈 in one of two ways.

1) The Super Quiz

link is the ultimate test of fanpopper knowledge. Superquiz pulls 질문 from the full spectrum of topics on the site. Each 질문 will tell 당신 what topic and channel it's about. Just start answering 질문 to start racking up points and winning virtual prizes. If 당신 run across a 질문 당신 don't want to answer, 당신 can simply click the "skip this question" link to get a new question.

당신 can also use the filter in the right column of the superquiz ("show 질문 for") to only display 질문 from a specific channel (e.g. movies) 또는 to only display 질문 from subjects 당신 are subscribed to.

A small module on the lower right side of the page will display your superquiz progress (how many points you've scored, how many 질문 asked and what your current prize is).

2) Individual Pop Quizzes

If 당신 want zero in on a specific topic, we also feature pop 퀴즈 for each 팬 club (spot). So for instance, if 당신 wanted to play The Office Pop Quiz, just go to The Office 팬 Club and click the "quizzes" link below the spot banner (there is also a module on the right side of each 팬 club homepage that will allow 당신 to start playing).

Spot-specific 퀴즈 have their own leaderboards and prize sets (see the small module in the lower right column of the spot 퀴즈 pages).

Making 퀴즈 Questions

To make a 퀴즈 질문 당신 will need to go to the 팬 Club's 퀴즈 and click the "add a question" link 또는 button.

When creating a 질문 당신 must:
* Ask a question
* Enter at least 2 possible answers
* Select the correct answer

Optionally 당신 may:
* Add an image
* Embed a video
* Add 이미지 for each of the possible answers
* Add some short trivia about the question

당신 have some limited editing capabilities once 당신 게시하기 a question, but it's best to make sure that 당신 have spelled everything correctly and have made the 질문 and answer factually correct before posting.

Additionally, here are some other tips for making good questions:
* Play the 퀴즈 in the 팬 club before posting new questions. This way 당신 can avoid making duplicate questions.
* Avoid subjective 질문 (e.g "Who do 당신 like better?). Subjective 질문 should be 게시됨 as picks.
* Avoid 질문 that are time-specific 또는 can be rendered incorrect 의해 events in the future. For instance: "What's the highest grossing British film of all-time?". A better 질문 is "As of 2007, what's the highest grossing British film of all-time?". For TV shows that are still airing, a 질문 like "How many seasons of One 나무, 트리 Hill"? is also a bad idea (until the show has concluded).
* Avoid vague questions: "Who did John 키스 on tonight's episode?" is ambiguous if John kisses someone in every episode. A better 질문 would be "Who did John 키스 in the season 3 episode, 'The Hunted'"?

Reporting Quizzes

If 당신 see an inaccurate, inappropriate 또는 badly worded 퀴즈 question, 당신 can flag it 또는 contact the 팬팝 team.

퀴즈 creators do have limited ability to modify their 질문 after they are made, however we have curtailed these options in order to prevent any abuse.

Note that in some instances, the 팬팝 team will need to 삭제 질문 in order to be fair to the people participating in the game. If this happens, feel free to repost a corrected version of the question.
