Quick Answer
You cannot directly switch a Trivia game from one game type (Live, Self-Paced, Three Strikes, etc.) to another. To change game types, you must turn the game offline, delete the current configuration, and create a new game using the Game Setup Wizard.
Why You Cannot Switch Game Types
Game types are locked once a Trivia game is created. The system does not allow converting a Live game into a Self-Paced game or vice versa.
To change the format, you must delete the current configuration and create a new one.
