Bubble Rush is a scored quiz slide that turns a set of multiple-choice questions into a race. Nobody waits for the slowest answer: every player works through the questions at their own pace, and the big screen shows who is ahead. It suits energisers, team trivia and class revision. Bubble Rush runs in a live session only for now. It has no self-paced mode yet. ## Bubble Rush at a glance | | | | - | - | | Type | Scored quiz slide, points feed the leaderboard | | Find it | **New slide**, then search for **Bubble Rush** or look in the **Quiz** group | | Questions | 1 to 50 multiple-choice questions, 2 to 6 options each, one correct | | Bubbles to win | 1 to 20 | | Availability | On every plan, in a live session | ## Create a Bubble Rush slide **1. Add the slide** In the editor, click **New slide**, then search for **Bubble Rush** or find it in the **Quiz** group. A new slide starts with three sample questions, so you can try it straight away. **2. Write your questions** Under **Questions**, type each question and its options, then mark the correct one. Use **Add question** and **Add option** to grow the pool. Players draw from this pool, so write at least as many questions as bubbles to win. For example, a science revision race could ask "Which planet is the largest?" or "Which part of the body pumps blood?". **3. Set the race length** Under **Race**, set **Bubbles to win**. This is how many correct answers a player needs, and also the most points they can earn. The default is 10. If your pool is smaller than this number, AhaSlides warns you that questions will repeat. **4. Choose the question order** Pick **Random** to give each player their own shuffle, or **Sequential** to keep every player on your listed order. **5. Set the pause and the rivals view** Under **Wrong answers**, choose whether players pause after a wrong answer and for how long. Then choose what each phone shows of the other racers in **Rivals on players' phones**. Both are explained in the settings table below. **6. Add a time limit if you need one** Use the **Time limit** in the right panel to end the race at a set time. Without it, the race runs until you end it. ## Present a Bubble Rush slide Click **Preview** to try the race yourself, then **Present**. Share the access code, wait for players to join, and click **Start**. On your screen, every player gets a lane that fills with lit bubbles as they answer correctly. The lanes move into rank order as the race changes, a counter shows how many are playing, and the first player to light every bubble is marked **Winner**. The race carries on after that so everyone else can finish, until you click **End race** or the time limit runs out. Final places then appear on the big screen. On each phone, a player sees one question at a time with the number of bubbles lit so far. A correct answer lights a bubble and the next question comes up. A wrong answer lights nothing and, if you kept the pause on, the player waits a few seconds before trying again. No bubble is ever taken away. Phones also show a rival view if you chose one, and the player's own rank once they finish. ## Bubble Rush settings | Setting | What it does | Default | | - | - | - | | Bubbles to win | Correct answers needed to win. This is also the most points a player can earn. From 1 to 20. | 10 | | Question order | **Random** gives each player a different shuffle. **Sequential** uses your order for everyone. | Random | | Pause after a wrong answer | Makes a player wait before the next question. No bubble is lost. | On | | Pause length | How long that wait lasts, from 1 to 10 seconds. | 3 seconds | | Rivals on players' phones | **Dots in the track** shows every racer as a dot, dark if ahead and light if behind. **Ahead** shows the racers 1 and 2 bubbles ahead. **Both** shows racers 1 and 2 bubbles ahead and behind. **None** shows only the player's own bubbles and rank. The big screen always shows everyone. | Dots in the track | | Time limit | Ends the race when time runs out. Players still racing keep the bubbles they have lit. Set in the right panel. | Off | ## Ideas for using Bubble Rush * **Energisers**: open a meeting with ten quick questions about animals or food groups and a race to five bubbles. * **Team trivia**: split a session into rounds, with a new Bubble Rush slide and topic each time. * **Class revision**: set a sprint on a single topic, such as the planets or the parts of a cell, with **Sequential** order so every student meets the same questions. * **Training check-ins**: end a session with a race to confirm that the key points stuck. ## Bubble Rush vs. Pick Answer [Pick Answer](https://docs.ahaslides.com/using-slide-types/using-the-pick-answer-slide.md) asks one question for the whole room at the same time, so everyone waits for the timer. Bubble Rush gives each player a pool of questions to work through at their own pace, so quick players keep going and the result is a race to the finish. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I use Bubble Rush in a self-paced presentation? Not yet. Bubble Rush runs in a live session only for now, so players answer while you present. ### What happens if I have fewer questions than bubbles to win? Questions repeat in a new lap. Write at least as many questions as **Bubbles to win** if you want players to see each question once. ### How are points worked out? A player earns one point for each bubble they light, up to **Bubbles to win**. Points feed the leaderboard like other scored slides. ### What happens when time runs out? If you set a **Time limit**, the race ends at that point. Every player keeps the bubbles they have lit, and the final places appear on the big screen. **Have a question?** Contact our support team: if you're logged in, use the chat bubble in the bottom-right of your dashboard; otherwise [contact us here](https://ahaslides.com/contact-us/) or email [hi@ahaslides.com](mailto:hi@ahaslides.com).
