Question Timer
Perfect for quizzes, trivia nights, and classroom activities — set a time per question and advance question by question while tracking total elapsed time.
How to use the question timer
Set the seconds per question and total number of questions, then press Start Question. The timer counts down for each question. When time's up, the next question starts automatically, or you can advance early with Next Question. The total elapsed time tracks your entire session.
