What is Factile Mode?

What is Factile Mode?

Factile Mode is the classic Jeopardy-style experience played with Factile. Teams choose a category and point value from the board, compete to answer, and earn (or lose) points with automatic scorekeeping. It works in any browser, supports up to 100 teams, and includes built-in virtual buzzers, a live leaderboard, and a Final Factile round-everything you need to run a polished Jeopardy online game without extra software.

How Factile Mode Works

How Factile Mode Works

01

Pick a Category and Point Value

The host clicks a tile on the board to select a category and point value. The question appears on screen, and the countdown timer starts automatically. (Prefer no timer? Turn it off in settings before starting the game.)

02

Buzz In or Raise a Hand

Once the question is displayed, teams race to respond. In Buzzer Mode, the first team to press the buzzer earns the right to answer. In a non-buzzer game, teams raise their hands and the moderator selects who goes first.

03

Answer and Get Scored

The moderator judges each response. A correct answer adds the tile's point value to the team's score; an incorrect answer deducts it. If no team answers, the moderator can skip scoring and reveal the answer.

Play the Final Factile Round

After every tile has been opened, the Final Factile question appears. All teams submit their answers, and the winner is displayed automatically on screen.
