I'm not familiar with this particular quiz, but in general, if you have a high traffic site, you will want to block visitors when doing database upgrades. This ensures that no visitor will get a completely broken page. WordPress core uses a .maintenance file to put the site into maintenance mode and then deletes the file after all the updates have been completed.
