Frequently Asked Questions

What is the meaning of the word “BiQui” – the name of the game?
BiQui is an artificial word that we invented. It is composed of the first letters of the words “Bible” and “Quiz”.
Can I also use a desktop computer to submit questions?
Yes. All you need is access to the Internet. You can open the website biqui.org/en and log in with your username and password. There you will find the header “new question” where you can submit your question.
How will the submitted questions be checked?
Before a question is approved into our question pool a lecturer will review the question. If there are uncertainties about the question or the answers the lecturer will approach the submitter. Apart from this the lecturer will check if there is already a similar question in our question pool. Afterwards the question will be approved.
What can I do, if I notice a mistake in one of the questions?
You can report a mistake after answering the question or by opening the card again and clicking the bug icon in the top right corner. Before reporting a content-related mistake, please research the topic thoroughly. For content-related mistakes, a source reference is also required.
How is a question's level of difficulty determined?
First the difficulty of a question is determined by the person submitting the question. Than the lecturer will check if the level of difficulty seems to be appropriate. Since this is determined by personal preference after some time the level of difficulty will be matched with the number of correct or incorrect answers.
What is a lifeline? How can I get them?
You can find detailed information about the lifelines in the instructions.
I selected “Advanced” or “Expert” in my account settings. Why were easier questions still used in a game?

The difficulty of a game always depends on both players. If your opponent has selected “Beginner”, for example, easier questions will be used. This allows players with different levels of knowledge to play together.

Even if you selected “Expert”, questions for “Advanced” or “Beginner” may still appear depending on your opponent’s setting.

You can see which difficulty level a player selected in the friends list or in a game invitation by looking at the bar with three segments. The more segments are filled, the higher the selected difficulty level.

How is the amount of playable categories and cards for a game determined?
The lowest setting out of both players will be used. You can see in your list of friends how many cards and categories can be played by each player.
Is it planned to set up a Highscore-list?
No. Although a player can play “against” another player we do not want to encourage a sense of rivalry. So there will be no Highscore-list. The game is supposed to be fun and educational at the same time.
Why is the games chat-function limited to predetermined sentences?
The identity of each player can not be verified. In order to protect our players from persons with dishonest or bad intentions we predetermined the sentences that can be exchanged between players.
Can I use BiQui and my BiQui account on more than one device?
Yes, that is possible.
Which devices are supported by BiQui?
BiQui runs on smartphones and tablets with Android 7.0 or iOS 15 and above.
