Cause I have problems with my quizzes and I need to do it that way
Here's an example, you choose the mountain to input the answer:
http://www.sporcle.com/games/Jam1/highpoints

And, there's a way to invalid the question and pass to another if the player do not answer right at his first guess?

Thanks.

Hi there Eduardo:
 
1) Under the "options" tag in the Game Creation centre, you have an option "Force answers in order ". You need to tick this for your first point to work.
2) Under the "options" tag again, there is an option "Bonus/Hidden answers become wrong answers". This needs ticking. DO NOT then go on to tick "Wrong answers end the quiz" unless absolutely vital to the game, e.g. with the 1-100 Mines game. "Minefields" are rarely popular, and can spoil a quiz if not used effectively.
 
To enter wrong answers: (the example question is quite poor, and I wouldn't recommend having it in a quiz, but it shows how wrong answers work)
 
Hint                                                    ¦Answer                                    ¦           Extra                                                             
Number of US States - 50 or 51?      ¦50                                            ¦           Delaware was the first state
Number of US States - 50 or 51?      ¦No, it's 50/51                           ¦           ee
 
As you can see, the hints (questions) need to be identical, and the wrong answer needs to have ee in the extra info box. If you want to have extra info, then you can put that in with the right answer, and it will show. You may notice that the wrong answer has "No it's 50/51". This is because as a general rule, Sporclers want to see the answer that they got wrong, but the wrong answer will still trigger.
 
If you need more help, then e-mail me at the link on my profile page and I can e-mail you some screenshots of the game creation page in some of my football "This or That" quizzes.

Probably the best explanation of how to make a This or That quiz I've seen, nice one.
