Single, Team, and One-off Team Games

QEng supports several participation formats depending on your game design and target audience.

In single-player games, each player competes individually.

• How it works: A player registers, submits a request to the game, launches it, and submits codes individually.
• Best for: Quizzes, solo quests, virtual challenges where no team collaboration is needed.

Classic format for street games and team car quests.

• How it works: A captain creates a team on the site and invites members via username. The captain submits a request for the game. Once started, all logged-in team members see the same game screen, submit answers together, share hints, and see the same team statistics.
• Best for: Active team quests, encounter games where players belong to established teams.

A unique format designed to minimize friction. Ideal for corporate events, promo games, festivals, or onboarding new players.

Players do not need to register or verify emails. This saves time and allows starting the game in seconds.

1. The administrator or game author enables support for one-off teams in settings.
2. A list of teams is generated, and a unique login link or login/PIN is created for each.
3. Players click the link or scan the matching QR code and immediately enter the game under that team.
4. All players scanning the same QR code (or opening the same link) automatically join the same team and play collaboratively.
5. No passwords or email addresses are needed.
