If you'd like to ensure one clear winner or set of winners, you can easily do this by adding a "tie breaking" section at the end of your event.

How to make a "Tie Breaker" round

You'd put this section after eg. your last Score Summary.

  1. Add as many Multiple choice or Text answer questions as you'd like, to ask your tied players

  2. set these questions as "tie breakers" (see below)

  3. Add one Score Summary slide after those tie break question slide(s)

Usable Example: Quiz Deck Template with Tie Breaker round

Here is a Quiz Deck template with a "tie-breaker" built in at the end. Use this as a template to start from (or to just see how it looks).

How to set a question as a "Tie Breaker"

  1. Add a Multiple Choice slide or a Text Answer slide (these are slides with "correct" answers)

  2. On each slide, click on the "Medal" icon in the left slide menu

  3. Turn the "Use as tie breaker" toggle ON, so it is pink

This will make that question 1. not affect the overall point totals but 2. add separate tie-break points to player scores, and reorder them on the leaderboard based on correct tie breaker answers.

Playing a more low-pressure / fun vibes type of game?

You can also use a User Vote slide as a tie breaker. This adds a quick game interaction that's similar to "Apples to Apples" or "Cards against Humanity": You give a prompt and then people vote on their favorite responses from others. Each vote you get on your answer is a point.

Here's a good example of how that works: Mini Trivia Competition Game (with tie-breaker)
