The Interface tab under the green Settings tab contains different settings affecting what is displayed on the Participant View and Presentation View, sign-in settings, as well as available Profanity & Review settings applicable to questions where participants type in their answers. (i.e. Text Answer Questions)
Interface section on the Experience Dashboard
Interface Settings
The settings under Interface Settings allow you to set certain preferences for your participants.
Interface Settings section
Hide Vote Counts
When enabled, both the Participant View and Presentation View will hide how many actual votes were received while in Show Live Answer Results (A) view. Only the percentage of votes received for each answer will be displayed.
Enabling this setting is useful if you wish to hide how many actual votes are being sent and how many actual participants are participating. If you feel you may have low participation, for example, this setting can hide that information by only showing percentages versus actual vote counts.
Show Submit Button
Enabling this setting requires participants to press a Submit button when answering Multiple Choice questions. If this setting is disabled, participants simply need to press the Multiple Choice answer option they wish to choose and their answer will automatically submit. By default, this setting is disabled.
Displaying a Submit button allows players to change their answer choice before choosing to submit. Hiding the Submit streamlines the answering process and can make choosing and sending an answer less confusing.
When is a Submit button required? Text Answer, Numerical Answer, and Drag & Drop questions always require a Submit button because their answers must be typed and rearranged by your players first. After typing in the answer, they must press a Submit button to submit their answer.
Hide Rankings-Change Indicators
By default, showing the Rankings Leaderboard throughout a game will display a Rankings Indicator next to each player's name to display how many points they've earned or lost from the previous question. When displaying the Rankings Leaderboard, the Rankings-Change Indicator will also display on both the Presentation View and Participant View.
Enabling the Hide Rankings-Change Indicators setting will hide the indicators and will not be displayed on the Presentation View and Participant View.
Important note about Rankings-Change Indicators: Rankings-Change Indicators display the change in points between the last time the rankings were displayed and not solely the change from the last question.
For instance, if you don't trigger the Rankings Leaderboard after every question, the Rankings-Change Indicators will cumulatively sum the change in points, which may result in the indicators showing more points than what the last question was worth.
Show Action Effects
By default, Trivia Games will display Action Effects such as confetti animations during the game whenever a participant answers a question correctly on their Participant View, as well as during the Winner Reveal Animations screen on both the Presentation View and Participant View.
Participant View with Action Effects enabled
Hide Question Numbers
By default, Trivia Games will display a question number on each Active Question during the live Experience as the Hide Question Numbers setting is disabled. Enabling this setting will hide any question numbers from appearing on both the Presentation View and Participant View.
Presentation View with Hide Question Numbers enabled
Participant View with Hide Question Numbers enabled
Show Answer Stats Bar
By default, Trivia Games will display the Answer Stats Bar showing the total number of responses for each question shown on the Participant View and Presentation View. Disabling this setting will hide the Answer Stats Bar from appearing on both the Presentation View and Participant View.
Presentation View with Show Answer Stats Bar enabled
Participant View with Show Answer Stats Bar enabled
Show Question Tabs on Participant View (Crowd Controlled Mode Only)
The Show Question Tabs on Participant View option is only available if your Trivia Game is set under the Crowd Controlled Mode. When using the Crowd Controlled Mode, this setting is disabled by default. When disabled, the Crowd Controlled Mode game will run in a sequential format allowing players to answer questions one-by-one and in order, similar to the Host Controlled and Fully Automatic Mode.
If you enable the Show Question Tabs on Participant View setting, then this will display questions in groups of 5. Players would then be able to answer any question in any order they choose.
For more information on the Crowd Controlled Mode, please check out - Experience Playback Modes Explained
Hide Instructions on Participant View
By default, Trivia Games will display a text box with instructions indicating how many questions the Experience has. However, enabling this setting will hide any instructions from appearing on the Participant View.
Participant Results Settings
These settings take effect after participants complete your Trivia Game. Enabling either setting will show participants a Results Summary of their performance. The Results Summary shows players every question they answered as well as the correct answers.
Participant Results Settings section
By default, both of these settings are disabled, and the Results Summary is not shown. Once a participant finishes the Trivia Game, participants can see the Results Summary by clicking the Review Answers button which appears at the bottom of the Participant View. It is also automatically shown when the host "Finishes" the Trivia Game from Playback Controls on the Experience Dashboard.

Profanity and Review Settings
These settings allow you to review and filter incoming Text Answer responses from your participants. Text Answer questions will have submitted answers that are typed in by your crowd (versus simply choosing pre-written multiple choice answers). Because of this, their typed responses can contain profanity.
Not all crowds are the same! Just because we offer profanity and review settings doesn't mean you have to use them. Most crowds aren't likely to try to input profanity into your Trivia Game. However, some crowds are more prone to this (ahem, younger adolescent crowds!) Your mileage may vary depending on your crowd!
Normally, submitted Text Answer responses are shown on the Presentation View and Participant View to your crowd. So we provide these settings to either review incoming answers and/or automatically filter them to prevent displaying profane content.
Manually Review Text Responses
Enabling Manually Review Text-Responses will require you, as the host, to review each incoming Text Answer before it is counted as an answer in the Trivia Game. If you reject it, it will not be counted. If you approve it, it will be scored and shown on the Presentation View and Participant View. You can also edit the answer and then approve it. By default, this profanity setting is disabled.
You can read the Reviewing Text Answers For Profanity Before Displaying article in our Help Center.
Auto Review Text Responses
Another option is to simply filter any words flagged by Crowdpurr as profanity in submitted Text Answer responses. Crowdpurr has an intelligent algorithm to identify profane words, phrases, and even numerical characters. The Auto-Review Text-Responses setting will only take effect on answers with profanity in them. You can also configure what happens to incoming responses that contain profanity.
Auto Review Options
These settings allow you to configure what happens to incoming Text Answer responses that have been automatically flagged as containing profanity.
Why can't I adjust these settings? The Auto-Review Options are only editable when your Trivia Game is set to use Auto-Review Text-Responses above.
Censor Flagged Posts
Enabling this setting causes any incoming text responses that have profanity to automatically be censored with "*****" in replacement of the profane text and then be automatically added as answers without the host needing to review.
The Presentation View displays the Live Answer Results with a flagged response
Reject Flagged Posts
Enabling this setting causes any incoming Text Answer responses that have profanity to automatically be rejected. This works the same as if you rejected the post by hand. Additionally, that participant will not be able to enter another answer for that question, and their score will result as if they did not answer it.

Language Settings
Language Settings section
This setting allows you to select which language the Participant View and Presentation View display. These are the only crowd-facing views in Crowdpurr. At this time, the Experience Dashboard is only displayed in English.
Are my questions and answers automatically translated? No, questions and answers must be written in the language you wish to display them. They are not automatically translated into the selected language.
Select Language
This sets the language for all labels and instructions that are read by your crowd. So if your crowd is French-speaking, you can set the Participant View and Presentation View to display all their labels and instructions in French. Currently, Crowdpurr supports sixteen languages with this feature.
To view the complete list of supported languages and to learn more about how Crowd Language works, check out the article Set Experience Crowd Language.
Reset Experience
This button is another shortcut for resetting your Trivia Game. Resetting your Trivia Game will remove all game responses from your crowd and set your Trivia Game back to the Ready state. This is useful if you had previously tested or did a "dry run" of your TriviaGame and want to make it ready for another test or your actual live event. Resetting your Trivia Game using this button is the same as using the Finish and Reset buttons under Playback Controls and clicking the Clear Crowd Responses button.
To reset your Trivia Game, simply click on the red Reset button.
Reset Experience button
Reset Trivia Game confirmation box
Does resetting remove my questions and answers? No, resetting your Trivia Game only removes your existing crowd responses and sets your Trivia Game's status back to Ready. Your written questions and answers all remain so your Trivia Game can be played again. However, your existing crowd responses will be permanently removed, so make sure they're either not important or that you've exported them to CSV prior to exporting.
