Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I host a Jeopardy game with multiple teams?
1. Create your game in Factile and click "Play." 2. Select Buzzer Mode and choose your team settings. 3. Share the PIN or QR code with players. 4. Use the host controls to manage teams, score answers, and adjust settings during play.
What are Host Controls in Factile?
Host Controls is Factile’s built-in feature set for running Jeopardy-style games. It includes team management, display customization, scoring controls, and real-time player management—everything you need to host professional games from one dashboard.
Is Factile better than other Jeopardy game makers for hosting?
Yes, because Factile offers saved team collections, multi-member teams with up to 5 players each, mid-game roster management, and separate device control—whereas other Jeopardy game makers require manual setup each time and limit you to single-player teams.
Can I manage teams from a separate device?
Business Pro users can open the Team Management page in a separate browser window or on a different device. This lets you monitor teams on one screen while the game board displays on another, which is ideal for events with a dedicated coordinator.
What if a player loses connection during the game?
Players reconnect automatically in most cases. As the host, you can generate a reconnect PIN for any player directly from the Team Management page. This allows them to rejoin their team instantly without disrupting the game flow.
Can I adjust scores after they're awarded?
Yes. Factile automatically scores correct and incorrect answers for you. However, you can still manually adjust any team's score using the plus and minus buttons at any time during the game.
