This is a quiz hosted on buzztouch.com and looking for a non-coding solution. I'm hoping there's a simple solution like appending the dropbox/google url with queries corresponding to headings on the spreadsheet ad then entering that url into the buzztouch control panel, but if so, how? Thanks in advance! Title Comments How do you get a buzztouch 2.0 quiz to pull questions and answers from a spreadsheet hosted somewhere like dropbox or google drive?

For this to work, do you have to delete the questions/answers you already have in the control panel? Also did anyone ever find a leaderboard type for Android?

Thanks - might be able to get that to work Comments @ianjamespiano (edit) Ok on closer look I see I have to use quiz maker to change the spreadsheet into a txt file.
