## Goal

Bring phones into one room where answers change the tally live.

## What you’ll have

![A science quiz opens with a question everyone can answer.](https://pr-1522-stg.superartifacts.app/screenshots/docs/recipes-live-room-light.057c07b8.webp)

*A science quiz opens with a question everyone can answer.*

## Prompt

**Run a live quiz or wall.** Your agent builds the page and checks the result with you.

```prompt
Help me run a live quiz in Super Artifacts. Ask for the audience size, the questions, and whether the score counts for anything. A room holds up to 500 open pages on every plan, but my workspace runs only so many live rooms at once (one on Free): call super_whoami and tell me if liveRooms shows another artifact holding one. For fun or practice, read live-quiz with super_templates (scope marketplace if it is not installed), fill its quiz slot, preserve its data declaration and publish with super_publish. If the quiz is graded, do not use that template, because its answer key travels inside the page: build the page yourself with the key in a stream only the owner reads, following super_help live. Keep it private with super_artifact_set and arrange the audience I choose. Explain that the host screen is my own signed-in page, or a named Editor’s, and return the joining link. Help me test two phones in the same room and verify that the live tally changes. If joining fails, check access and whether another artifact holds the live room; if the tally is still, check the live connection.
```

## Needs

- Questions, a host and phones with a connection.
- A free live room. A room holds up to 500 phones on every plan, and your workspace runs a set number of rooms at once (one on Free); see [Live rooms](https://pr-1522-stg.superartifacts.app/docs/concepts/live-rooms.md).
- A quiz for fun or practice. The template's answer key travels inside the page; for a score that counts, use the [quiz prompt](https://pr-1522-stg.superartifacts.app/docs/shared-pages.md) instead.

## Steps

1. **A free room**

   The agent checks that no other artifact of yours holds the live room.

2. **A live page**

   The live-quiz template supplies the question and answer screens. The host screen is your own signed-in page, or a named Editor's.

3. **Phones join**

   People open the participant link on their phones.

4. **The tally moves**

   Answers arrive in the host’s live view during the question.

## Check it worked

Two phones join the same room. Their answers change the host’s tally without a page reload.

## If not

- **A phone cannot join:** The prompt asks the agent to check access.
- **The header says live is paused:** another of your artifacts holds the room. Answers still save; close that artifact's tabs or turn its live connections off, and the page joins within 20 seconds.
- **The tally is still:** The prompt asks it to check the live connection and that both phones joined the same room.

## Variations

- The live-wall template collects short messages instead.
- A fresh artifact gives the next session its own answers. On Free only one room runs at a time, so close the last session's tabs first.
