Skirmish Games

Live academic quiz battles that make revision feel like a game and build genuine subject mastery.

How a Skirmish works

A Skirmish is a real-time, multiplayer quiz session. The host picks a topic (or Espeezy generates one from your module content), sets the number of rounds (5 to 25 questions), the time limit per question (10 to 60 seconds), and the point scoring mode (speed bonus or accuracy only). Up to 50 players can join a single Skirmish.

Question sources

Questions can come from three sources: the Espeezy community question bank (community-submitted and quality-reviewed), your institution content (if your LMS is connected, Espeezy can generate questions from past papers and course reading lists), or custom questions that the host writes before the session.

Scoring and leaderboard

Each correct answer earns base points. Answering within the first third of the time window earns a speed bonus (up to 50% extra). At the end of each round the leaderboard updates live. At the end of the Skirmish, results are saved to each players profile showing topics answered correctly and areas of weakness.

Team Skirmish mode

In Team Skirmish, players are split into two or more teams and answer together. One player answers at a time in rotation. The team with the highest cumulative score wins. Team Skirmish is designed for study groups and can be run inside a workspace so the results feed into collaboration points.

Revision analytics

After each Skirmish, you receive a personal breakdown: which question categories you struggled with, your average response time, and your accuracy rate across all Skirmishes in that module. This feeds into the AI coach (Pro feature) which generates a targeted revision plan.
