If you'd like to ensure one clear winner or set of winners, you can easily do this, there are two ways:
Do nothing and let the system automatically handle the ordering of 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc places — players are auto-sorted by speed of answer on the leaderboard
Add a "tie break" section at the end of your event
Option 1 - Auto sort by speed of answer
Short answer: the system will handle ties automatically for you, based on how fast players answer, and there's nothing you need to do.
If two players are tied for eg. first place, the faster-answering player will show as placing first, and the slower will show as placing second. Nothing you need to do or manage.
How it works: The Score Summary slide will display the points each player has gotten, and order the players in order of how many points. The Score Summary slide will automatically calculate how fast a player answered correctly, on average.
In the case of a point tie, the order/place of a player will be determined by their answer speed.
Note, if you want speed of answers displayed for all players (or just for tied players, or not at all), you can set this on the score summary slide settings.
Learn more about how this works: Score Summary slide documentation.
Option 2 - Add a "Tie Breaker" round
You'd put this section after eg. your last Score Summary slide.
Add as many Multiple choice or Text answer questions as you'd like, to ask your tied players
set these questions as "tie breakers" (see below)
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"
Add a Multiple Choice slide or a Text Answer slide (these are slides with "correct" answers)
On each slide, click on the "Medal" icon in the left slide menu
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)
