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

Before diving into the details of the game, I want to send out a hearty THANKS to the Fanpop team. In particular, a big благодарность 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 Ты to link - the site that provided the nifty default Иконка sets for the spot pop Тесты and superquiz.

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

Playing the Quiz

Ты can play the Тест in one of two ways.

1) The Super Quiz

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

Ты can also use the filter in the right column of the superquiz ("show Вопросы for") to only display Вопросы from a specific channel (e.g. movies) или to only display Вопросы from subjects Ты 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 Вопросы asked and what your current prize is).

2) Individual Pop Quizzes

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

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

Making Тест Questions

To make a Тест Вопрос Ты will need to go to the Фан Club's Тест and click the "add a question" link или button.

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

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

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

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

Reporting Quizzes

If Ты see an inaccurate, inappropriate или badly worded Тест question, Ты can flag it или contact the Fanpop team.

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

Note that in some instances, the Fanpop team will need to Удалить Вопросы 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.
