Here when the player types '!start', he will be added to the scoreboard dictionary.

if message.content.startswith('!start'):
            await message.channel.send("The game starts")
            self.scoreboard = {}

***Here once he types '!play', the robot will give the list of all the players ( message.author.name ) and will put his score to 0 to start the quiz with 0 points ***

if message.content.startswith('!play'):
    txt = 'adding player: ' + message.author.name
    await message.channel.send(txt)
    players.append(message.author.name)

    txt = 'current users: ' + ' '.join(map(str, players))
    await message.channel.send(txt)
    self.scoreboard[message.author.name] = 0

After the robot gives the question and the player answers correctly, i would want the correct player to get +1 point. How can i add +1 to the value in the dictionary to the correct player?

    if message.content == '!score':
        score = str(self.scoreboard)
        print(score)
        await message.channel.send(self.scoreboard)
        return

    if message.content == self.answer:
        await message.channel.send('Good answer')

You can check if the author of the message is in the scoreboard dictionary and then increment the score count using the addition operator in python.

if message.author.name in self.scoreboard:
    self.scoreboard[message.author.name] += 1
