If  you need to distribute individual tickets for your game, but do not want to use Loquiz ticketing API, then batch created single-use passwords will allow you to distribute individual tickets to the participants.

Please note that when using single use passwords then the game scope is also single. That means that single use passwords do not appear in general results table and chat room.
 In order to do that you need this feature to be activated on your account. Contact info@loquiz.com for that.

Creating single use passwords

Go to Game edit > Gonfiguration > Batch codes. There  enter a number of unique passwords you want to create for the event. List of 5-letter passwords will appear. Make sure to SAVE the game to preserve the passwords.  Copy and paste the list into any program you need to distribute or print them.

The player can start an event using the Event Username (this you can set yourself in event basic settings) and Batch Password combo. Every password can only be used once to register a team and will not be usable after that. The team started with Single Use Password can still be normally resumed on another device (by using “Or resume with existing team”).

If there is a team registered with Single Use Password then this password will be crossed out in the list and the registered team and date of the usage is shown. Players that use  single use passwords for starting an event do not appear in the games general results table.

You can access the individual results by adding the batch password (:passw) to the results URL like below:

https://creator.loquiz.com/results/GAMEID:passw/statistics (Legacy Results Page)

https://results.loquiz.com/GAMEID:passw (Results Page)

This will show the specific Batch Code result.

Alternatively create a custom leaderboard using Results API.

Adding Single Use Passwords

You can add Single Use Passwords to the list by typing in a number which you want to be added and then push Create (up to 1000 Single Use Passwords can be created at once).  Existing passwords will be intact.

Special considerations

  1. We deduct the credit from your account when the player answers the sixth task. So registering a team and starting a game does not mean that you will spend credit from your account. If for any reason the game does not work for the player then this will probably come out before answering 6 tasks.
  2. The event can still be started with Regular Username and Password combination as well.
  3. Chat among players will not work with single use passwords as every player is within their own scope. If you want to use ticketing and chat in combination then please use ticketing API.
