DBT Skills Quiz Live
Multiple-choice skills review where everyone answers on their own phone. The host shares this screen on Teams or Zoom and reads out the join code; players open the same link, enter the code and a nickname, and tap the red triangle, blue diamond, yellow circle, or green square. Fastest correct answers score most.

How it works
A small game server relays answers between the host's screen and each player's phone. Only nicknames, answers, and scores pass through it, and a game is deleted from memory when it ends or after two hours of inactivity. If the host's browser refreshes, the game resumes.
Scoring
100 points for a correct answer plus up to 50 for speed, scaled by how much of the timer was left. Wrong or no answer scores 0.
