Web update: Who Said It? and new kinds of questions

Name who said it in Who Said It?, the third way to play, and meet questions that show code, formulas, careers, maps and lines of poetry.

• NewWho Said It? A third way to play: a quote appears and you name who said it from four names. Each clue you wait for, when and where, then the speaker’s silhouette, makes a right answer worth less. Pick it when you start a room. It’s in the iPhone app too.
• NewNew kinds of questions. Some questions now show more than words: code in the programming categories, formulas in Mathematics, a footballer’s clubs in Player Careers, a map in Country Hunt where you tap where the city is and see how far off you were, and a line of poetry with a word missing in Classical Arabic Poetry.
• ChangedHints come with the answer’s shape. The Hint lifeline shows the written clue, with the answer’s first letter and length under it.
• ChangedA room plays in its host’s language. Questions come in the host’s questions language, so the lobby no longer asks.
• ChangedPower cards are the host’s call. They’re off unless the host turns them on in the Party Quiz lobby, and the wheels now spin on their own, so nobody waits for a player who stepped away.
• FixedEmote countdown. While your emote plays, its countdown ring now fits inside the emote key.
• FixedMessages after a language switch. Change the app’s language and the messages on home and in the inbox change with it at once.
