Custom Gaming Assessments
Custom assessments are structured quizzes built around a single game, franchise, genre, or mechanic. They're designed to give players a clear read on where their knowledge is solid and where there are gaps — without being prescriptive about what to do with that information.
Each assessment follows a logical progression: broader conceptual questions at the start, moving toward more specific or nuanced topics as the quiz continues. The format is designed to feel cumulative rather than random.
How It Works
- A topic scope is defined — e.g., a specific genre, era, or game system
- Questions are divided across difficulty tiers: foundational, intermediate, and detailed
- Each question includes an explanation accessible after answering
- Results show a breakdown by topic area, not just a single score
- Players can retake assessments to track changes in their knowledge over time
Community Tournament Quizzes
Community tournaments are time-limited quiz events that open to all registered players simultaneously. They centre on a shared topic — a genre, a recent release, or a themed trivia challenge — and run for a defined window, typically 48 to 72 hours.
Leaderboards track participation and accuracy, though the emphasis is on the shared experience rather than pure competition. Players often discuss questions in community forums after the event closes.
Format Details
- Events are announced at least 72 hours before they open
- All questions are locked until the event closes to ensure fairness
- Timed response windows are optional — players can pace themselves
- Post-event breakdowns show how the community performed collectively
- Recurring tournaments follow seasonal and thematic schedules
Game Knowledge Certification Tests
Certification tests are the most in-depth format on Zantrexio. They cover a topic comprehensively — typically 30 to 50 questions across multiple stages — and are designed to be taken seriously rather than quickly.
Completions are tracked on player profiles. A certification doesn't imply any professional credential; it's simply a record that a player has completed a comprehensive quiz on a given subject to a defined accuracy threshold.
Certification Structure
- Multi-stage format with checkpoint saves between sections
- Players must reach a defined accuracy threshold to complete each stage
- Full explanations provided for all questions once the test is finished
- Completion displayed on player profile as a reference, not a credential
- Tests are periodically reviewed and updated for accuracy
Educational Gaming Workshops
Workshops combine structured reading material with embedded quiz checkpoints. Rather than presenting a quiz at the end of an article, the content and assessment are woven together — players read a section, answer a question, then continue.
This format is particularly well-suited to players exploring a topic they have little prior exposure to. The guided structure reduces cognitive load and makes it easier to retain information progressively.
Workshop Design
- Content is divided into short, readable sections (250–400 words each)
- Checkpoint questions appear after each section, not at the end
- Incorrect answers trigger a brief review prompt before moving forward
- Players can save progress and return at any point
- Topics currently covered include genre history, game mechanics, and design principles
Team-Based Challenge Modules
Team challenges allow groups of two to six players to complete a quiz collaboratively. Each team member sees the same question set, but answers independently — the team's result is calculated from the combined accuracy across all members.
This format works well for groups of friends, gaming communities, or casual co-operative play. It introduces a social element without requiring any single player to carry the result alone.
Team Format Rules
- Teams of 2–6 players; one player creates the session and shares a code
- All team members must complete the quiz within the same session window
- Individual results remain private; only the team aggregate is shared
- Team challenges use curated question sets designed for group difficulty balance
- Designed for entertainment and discussion — no ranking or penalty system
