How can I play the Action Quizzes?

Part I: Starting the game:

Step 1:

Select a category on the remote control. In this example we select the "movies" category.

Step 2:

Then select your subcategory. In this example we select the "taglines" subcategory.

Step 3:

Select your actionfigure by clicking on the checkbox underneath one of the figures. In this example, the second actionfigure is selected.

Step 4:

Give your actionfigure a name and type it here (max. 10 characters). In this case, the name John is used. Click on 'OK' to continue.

Step 5:

Then your opponents for this quiz are introduced. Click on "Play" to start the game.
 

Part II: Playing the game:

Step 6:

When you have clicked on "Play" a new window will open, which looks like this:

The numbers shown in the picture correspond with the numbers shown beneath:
Display of the question number and the total number of questions in this round.
The question you have to answer.
Additional information for the question.
The current category and subcategory.
The host of the game: Tom McLee.
The current round in the game.
Four possible answers to the question above. Only one of these is correct. You have the select the right one.
Your previously selected actionfigure.
Your first opponent.
Your second opponent.
Your score and those of your opponents.

Step 6 continued:

In order to win the game, you have to answer as many questions correctly as you can. To do so, select the right answer by clicking on one of the four possible answers.
 

Step 7:

When you have clicked on either a correct or incorrect answer, your screen will look like this:

The numbers shown in the picture correspond with the numbers shown beneath:
Indication of whether you and you opponents answered the previous question correctly or not. Green means correct, red means incorrect.
The correct answer to the previous question.
The 'Continue' button, that leads you to the next question.

Step 7 continued:

In this case, you have answered the previous question correctly, and so did Kelly. William gave the wrong answer. Also note that William's score remains '0', while yours and Kelly's has increased by 2.
Your score also depents on the answers your opponents give. If they all answer the question correctly (and you, too) you all get 1 point. If one of your opponents fails to answer the question correctly, you and the other opponent each gain 2 points for that question. If you or any opponent is the only player to answer the question correctly, he or she gains 3 points.
Click on 'Continue' to go to the next question.
 

Step 8:

Keep repeating step 6 and 7 until you drop out of the game, get into a tie-break or get into the final.
 

Step 9a:

In case of a tie-break, your screen will look similiar to this one:

The numbers shown in the picture correspond with the numbers shown beneath:
Note the similar scores, a tie-break is needed for only one of you can win this round, and compete with the other player in the final.
In case of a tie-break question, only two answers are given. One of these is correct. The other one is incorrect.

Step 9a continued:

In order to win the tie-break, you have to click on the correct answer.
 

Step 9b:

If you do not drop out the first round, (and possibly win a tie-break), you get into the final. Your screen will then look similiar to this one:

Step 9b continued:

This is similar to that of steps 6 and 7, except there are only 5 questions and there is only one opponent in this round.
Also, you get 2 points when you and your opponent both answer a question correctly. If you or your opponent is the only player that answers a question correctly, he or she gains 4 points.
 

Step 10:

When you have answered the last question in the final, your screen could look like this:

The numbers shown in the picture correspond with the numbers shown beneath:
The 'Exit' button, which closes the window.

Step 10 continued:

At this point, you will be told whether you have won or lost the final or have to play a final tie-break. Except for the tie-break, the game is over now and when you are done, then click on the 'Exit' button in order to return to the ActionQuiz main screen, where you can select a another category for a new game.
