QuizRush : A Real-Time Tournament-Based Quiz Application

Abstract

QuizRush is a structured, tournament-based quiz application designed to provide a real-time, competitive quizzing experience. Unlike traditional quiz applications that rely on random matchmaking, QuizRush ensures fairness by scheduling quizzes at fixed intervals, allowing all participants to answer the same set of questions simultaneously. The system is developed using Spring Boot (Java) for the backend and Flutter for the frontend, with MySQL as the database. Real-time quiz execution is enabled using WebSockets for instant question broadcasting and answer submission. QuizRush incorporates secure authentication, admin-controlled quiz management, and a leaderboard system for performance tracking. Future enhancements may include AI-generated questions, global tournaments, and detailed analytics for user engagement. The study highlights the advantages of structured tournament-based quizzing over traditional random matchmaking approaches, making QuizRush an ideal platform for educational institutions, corporate training, and competitive assessments.
