Once you have played a quiz...........found you like it but would like to play it again, how long do you have to wait until you can?

One of my team asked this, and frankly I have no idea, but I told them I would try to find out the answer.

You can play it again whenever you like, but you won't get points for playing it again.

If it happens to be a Quiz of the Hour or on the Bus Ride, you get the points for that activity, not for the actual quiz. If you are allocated a Daily Task that specifies you can replay quizzes that haven't been played within the last 30 days, then you cannot meet the challenge if it has been played more recently. If you are on a scavenger hunt, and don't score highly enough the first time you take the quiz, you have to wait 24 hours and then replay it using the appropriate replay link.

Thanks looney..........conveyed your reply to my team member and got:-

Thank you. I am asking because I started playing quizzes on Ancient Egypt. A message came up saying that part of the quizzes were a listed quiz. I carried on playing the quizzes on the list which was 36 quizzes. When I had finished I was told to say I had completed them but it turns out I have scored less than 50% on 5 of them and I am being told to replay them. When I try nothing happens. I have retaken all 5 and - since I remembered a lot of the answers I got wrong the first time - I scored more than 50%. My question is when can I retake them or will I lose the ones I have already completed?

Frankly he/she has lost me............any ideas?

To count for a challenge, which a quiz list is an example of, the quizzes have to be retaken by clicking on the replay link. If your team mate looks at the list of quizzes, he or she will then need to click on the 'Claim this Quiz List Trophy' message at the top of the page. This will show the quizzes taken and whether they are complete - in green - or have a score which is too low - in red. Any in red will have a link to retake the quiz and playing via this is the only way the system recognises that a qualifying score has been achieved.

Putting this in writing makes it sound far more complicated than it actually is in practice.

L_T has, correctly, explained that this is the procedure, but I've expanded on the explanation. Just replaying the quizzes, which is what your team member seems to have done, won't register.

I hope this helps.

You also have to wait 24 hours before replaying a quiz that is marked in red when trying to claim a quiz list (24 hours from when you last played that quiz rather than when you are claiming the list).
