'''Quiz Show''' is a minigame in {{aF}}. It costs four [[Happy Ticket]]s to unlock. It can be played with one to four players.
  
−
Quiz Show is one of 8 minigames featured in [[Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival]]. In it, players vie to answer the most questions about [[Animal Crossing: New Leaf]] to earn the most points, which lets them win.
+
==Gameplay==
 +
Each player must scan an [[amiibo]] card; its respective character will be the contestant. [[Lloid]] hosts the Quiz Show, giving the players a series of multiple-choice questions based on {{NL}}, as well as {{aF|short|nolink}}'s [[Board Game]] mode. Answers appear on the GamePad, and the players must tap the correct one. In single-player games, the objective is to answer as many questions as possible in 90 seconds; in multiplayer games, players compete to ring in first and correctly guess the answer.
  
−
==Blurb==
+
Completing the minigame rewards the player with the same number of [[Happy Point]]s as the total number of points received by all players during the game.
−
Try the Animal Crossing Quiz Show!
 
  
−
When the spotlight shines on you, you have the right to answer the current quiz question.
+
===Multiplayer===
 +
In multiplayer games, the player must ring in to answer by scanning their character's amiibo card when the spotlight is on them; they will then be given 10 seconds to correctly answer the question. If the question is correctly answered, the player earns five points, while giving an incorrect answer causes the player to miss the next question. If the player ringed in when not on the spotlight, they will miss the chance to answer the current question. Each question has either four or eight answers. If the question has eight answers and no player rings in for five seconds, one incorrect answer is eliminated; this repeats until 20 seconds, at which point a five-second timer appears. If the question is not answered after the timer expires, the correct answer is shown and no player receives points.
  
−
Try to quickly give the correct answer and become the quiz champion!
+
The player with the most points after 15 questions wins the game.
  
−
==Set-Up==
+
====amiibo Chance====
−
In order to play Quiz Show, the player must first unlock it from the Plaza for 4 Happy Tickets.
+
amiibo Chance is an option that allows a player to scan an ''Animal Crossing'' amiibo figure after ringing in; the character will be called in from their workplace and will eliminate or suggest certain answers. If the player correctly guesses the answer, they earn an additional five points. Each player can only use amiibo Chance once per game.
  
−
After it is unlocked, the Quiz Show may be selected from the Plaza. The player will then be asked how many players there are. After selecting a number of players, each player must scan a unique [[amiibo card]]. Finally, the player must verify the characters are correct before the Quiz Show will begin.
+
The amiibo Chance has a chance of not working, with Lloid saying the character "must be busy." If this occurs, the player's amiibo Chance will not be used, but they will be unable to scan another amiibo for the current question. If the character of the scanned amiibo is one of the contestants, the character cannot be called in; however, the player can scan another amiibo for the current question.
  
−
==Gameplay==
+
Each character has knowledge of different types of questions. If the player calls in a character who is knowledgeable in the question's subject, they will either suggest two possible answers, with one being the correct answer, or eliminate half of the possible answers. If the character is not knowledgeable in the subject, they will eliminate one incorrect answer. Below is a table showing which subjects each character is knowledgeable in.
−
===Mulitplayer Game===
 
−
Once the Quiz Show starts, the camera will zoom in on the contestants and pan to the right before panning out, revealing [[Lloid]] as the host to the left of the contestants and a large screen behind them. Additionally, the eight characters from the game board town (or less, if there aren’t eight moved in) are seen to be cheering the contestants on with their backs to the camera. Lloid will then ask the contestants if they know the rules and explain the rules to them if they do not. The game portion of the show will then begin.
 
  
−
15 questions are asked to the players, pulled from a random bank of questions. All of the questions appear on the screen behind the contestants, normally in the form of an image, and 4 or 8 answer choices will appear on the GamePad, depending on the type of question being asked. To answer a question, the player must touch their amiibo card to the NFC touchpoint on the GamePad when the spotlight is on their character. If you touch your amiibo card to the touchpoint when the spotlight is not on your character, you will not be allowed to answer that question. The player who rang in must then choose the correct answer within 10 seconds; if they do, they receive 5 points. If they miss a question, however, they will be sulking the next turn and not allowed to answer the question; other contestants can then attempt to answer the missed question. If no contestant rings in for 5 seconds, one answer choice eliminates itself; this continues every 5 seconds up to 20 seconds, at which point a 5 second timer appears. If the question still isn't answered, or no contestant answers correctly, the question is missed, no one gets the five points, and the correct answer is displayed on the screen. Questions with only 4 answer choices will not have choices eliminated at all.

In order to increase their chances of correctly answering a question, players may choose to use their amiibo chance by touching an Animal Crossing Series [[amiibo]] to the NFC touchpoint within their 10 seconds; not only will the character eliminate or suggest certain choices, but the contestant will also earn and extra 5 points that turn for answering correctly! However, amiibo chance may only be used once per player, so one must use it wisely.

=====Isabelle=====
+
===Single-player===
−
When Isabelle is called she videos from New Leaf's town hall. She is knowledgeable about the board game features.
+
In a single-player game, the player is given 90 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. In this mode, the player does not need to ring in and instead has 10 seconds to answer each question. Additionally, the player cannot use amiibo Chance, and they are not told the correct answer when they miss a question.
  
−
===1-player game===
+
Correct answers are worth five points plus a time bonus for giving it within five seconds.
−
In the 1-player variant there is not a set amount of questions; instead, there is a 90 second timer. Additionally, answer choices will not eliminate themselves as time goes by, and the player is virtually rang in; they can answer at any time, but always have the 10 second timer running. Finally, additional changes include the player not having access to an amiibo chance, the “What do these words describe?” questions’ bubbles appearing much quicker, and the game not telling the player the correct answer when they miss a question. Otherwise, game play is functionally identical to the multiplayer game.

Description
Try the Animal Crossing Quiz Show! When the spotlight shines on you, you have the right to answer the current quiz question. Try to quickly give the correct answer and become the quiz champion!

Quiz Show is a minigame in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. It costs four Happy Tickets to unlock. It can be played with one to four players.

Gameplay

Each player must scan an amiibo card; its respective character will be the contestant. Lloid hosts the Quiz Show, giving the players a series of multiple-choice questions based on Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as well as amiibo Festival's Board Game mode. Answers appear on the GamePad, and the players must tap the correct one. In single-player games, the objective is to answer as many questions as possible in 90 seconds; in multiplayer games, players compete to ring in first and correctly guess the answer.

Completing the minigame rewards the player with the same number of Happy Points as the total number of points received by all players during the game.

Multiplayer

In multiplayer games, the player must ring in to answer by scanning their character's amiibo card when the spotlight is on them; they will then be given 10 seconds to correctly answer the question. If the question is correctly answered, the player earns five points, while giving an incorrect answer causes the player to miss the next question. If the player ringed in when not on the spotlight, they will miss the chance to answer the current question. Each question has either four or eight answers. If the question has eight answers and no player rings in for five seconds, one incorrect answer is eliminated; this repeats until 20 seconds, at which point a five-second timer appears. If the question is not answered after the timer expires, the correct answer is shown and no player receives points.

The player with the most points after 15 questions wins the game.

amiibo Chance

amiibo Chance is an option that allows a player to scan an Animal Crossing amiibo figure after ringing in; the character will be called in from their workplace and will eliminate or suggest certain answers. If the player correctly guesses the answer, they earn an additional five points. Each player can only use amiibo Chance once per game.

The amiibo Chance has a chance of not working, with Lloid saying the character "must be busy." If this occurs, the player's amiibo Chance will not be used, but they will be unable to scan another amiibo for the current question. If the character of the scanned amiibo is one of the contestants, the character cannot be called in; however, the player can scan another amiibo for the current question.

Each character has knowledge of different types of questions. If the player calls in a character who is knowledgeable in the question's subject, they will either suggest two possible answers, with one being the correct answer, or eliminate half of the possible answers. If the character is not knowledgeable in the subject, they will eliminate one incorrect answer. Below is a table showing which subjects each character is knowledgeable in.

Single-player

In a single-player game, the player is given 90 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. In this mode, the player does not need to ring in and instead has 10 seconds to answer each question. Additionally, the player cannot use amiibo Chance, and they are not told the correct answer when they miss a question.

Correct answers are worth five points plus a time bonus for giving it within five seconds.
