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

Before diving into the details of the game, I want to send out a hearty THANKS to the फैन्पॉप team. In particular, a big प्रॉप 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 आप to link - the site that provided the nifty default आइकन sets for the spot pop क्विज़ and superquiz.

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

Playing the Quiz

आप can play the क्विज़ in one of two ways.

1) The Super Quiz

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

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

2) Individual Pop Quizzes

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

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

Making क्विज़ Questions

To make a क्विज़ सवाल आप will need to go to the प्रशंसक Club's क्विज़ and click the "add a question" link या button.

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

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

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

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

Reporting Quizzes

If आप see an inaccurate, inappropriate या badly worded क्विज़ question, आप can flag it या contact the फैन्पॉप team.

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

Note that in some instances, the फैन्पॉप team will need to मिटाइए सवालों 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.
