Checkpoint questions, answer choices, correct answers, and feedback.

03

Branding

Logo, race colours, and button style for the HUD and quiz panel.

Default player car, rival cars, and track environment.

05

06

Publish

Set status to published and get your embed URL for Gametize.

  3. 3In Gametize, open your project or campaign.
  4. 4Scroll to the section "Embed External Media".
  5. 5Under "URL to Embed", paste the website URL.
  6. 6Preview inside Gametize, then save and publish the campaign.

Common Questions

Do I need to write code?
No. Pick a template, fill in content and settings in the editor, then publish. Everything is form-based.
Can I edit a game after publishing?
Yes. Open it from My Games, make changes, and save. Players on the embed URL will get the updated version.
What is the pass score?
The minimum score a player needs to be marked as passed. Set it in Settings based on points per correct answer and question count.
Where do players actually play?
Inside Gametize. Arcadedo builds the game; Gametize hosts it via the embed URL you copy after publishing.
