This is a quick guide to learn how to create your first quiz. A quiz differs from a survey. It is a short test of knowledge, often informal, and uses specific question types. Allocate scores for each answer and respondents will receive a total score when they complete it.
To get a better response rate, you can turn your survey into a quiz. We’ve seen that “take our quiz” has double the open rate of “take our survey”. Ask five or six quiz questions and add a rating question with a text box at the end.
This guide will teach you:
- Create a quiz
- Write the Intro screen
- Add questions
- Build the final screen
- Edit the design
- Share your quiz
1. Create a quiz
At the Questionnaires tab, click Create questionnaire.
Click Start from scratch so you can add just the right type of questions to your quiz.
The title and link of your questionnaire are automatically filled in. You can leave these as they are or change them to a title and link that are more meaningful to your project.
Make sure your link is short if your respondents will have to type it themselves (e.g.: for mobile use).
Type your own questionnaire title and questionnaire link in the boxes.
2. Write the Intro screen
You can use the text that is already written, or write your own sentence to explain why your respondents should complete the quiz. If you want to hide the Intro screen altogether, toggle the button next to Active.
You could add Intro fields at your intro screen and ask some questions, for example, demographic data. We suggest leaving this for now, first build your quiz and come back later if there's information you want to ask your respondents at the beginning.

3.1 How to add questions
To add your questions just click the ? Question button to insert your first question:
You'll be shown different question types, but the three that are suitable for quiz questions are: text choice, image choice, and ranking. Choose one of these three types and click add.
To turn your question into a quiz question, you'll first need to toggle the button quiz question.
As soon as you turn this on, you will be able to select which of your answers is the correct one, by toggling the button next to the correct answer.
You can change the scoring options, for example, give different custom score for different answers or for multiple-choice questions, a score when all answers are correct. Instead of custom score you can also use quiz scoring.
Add a Question explanation which will be shown at the end of the quiz when respondents are given the option to View correct answers. Add links to your explanation and allow the respondents to learn more by visiting relevant web pages while they are discovering which questions they answered right or wrong.
To improve your response rate, it's best to stay under 7 questions, 10 questions max!
Now let's look at all the types of questions you can include in your quiz.
3.2 Text Choice
The text choice question can be single-select or multiple choice where respondents can select more than one answer.
3.3 Image Choice
The image choice question allows you to ask your respondent to select an image, instead of only text.
3.4 Ranking
Ranking question allows you to ask your respondents to put several facts/dates/statements in the correct order. Make sure to insert the answers in the right order.
Turn on Shuffle answers to make sure the answers are shuffled when the respondent sees them.
We've covered all the quiz question types but why not add some fun incentive questions to boost the response rate?
3.5 Scratch Card
With the scratch card your respondents can scratch away the upper layer to reveal the prize have won, like a trip or whatever you would like to give away.
3.6 Slot Machine
The slot machine feature is only available for paying plans. It's another great way to add an incentive to collect more responses. Tell your respondents what they can win.
4. Build the final screen
You can leave the final screen as it is, customize the text, add variables or redirect the respondents to your website when they have clicked the final button.
Don't forget to click Save changes at the top of the screen before previewing or moving to other tabs.
5. Edit the design
To change the design, the colors, fonts, template and more you can go to the Design tab.
You can select one of the fresh and professional-looking templates and then customize it. Click on the one you like best or suits your company image.
You'll have greater credibility if you display your logo, so take the time to add it here. Scroll down to Logo and upload your own.
Your logo colors will be automatically detected if you want, or you can choose later to detect colors.
6. Share your quiz
There are different ways to share your quiz. You can find the link to share your quiz with your respondents, when you click the Share tab.
Scroll down to the Share questionnaire link. Here you can copy the link or the short link of your quiz. Alternatively right-click on the QR code to download it and access the quiz from there.
