How to make a free online quiz in 5 simple steps

  1. Dropdown menu of quiz types
    Select your quiz type from the dropdown menu on the quiz maker homepage. The quiz type labels show what you want your quiz to take—provide a score/grade, service recommendation, personality or product recommendation, survey to gather insights, and more. This categorization ensures you start with the correct format and sets smart defaults so you need to do very little to publish your quiz.
  2. Question dialog with image and answer fields
    Click Add Question to unlock over 40 question formats—Multiple Choice, Image Choice, True/False, and more. For school-assignment quizzes, select Multiple Choice. The question dialogue will appear; enter your prompt, use the picture icon to add an image, and define your answer options.
  3. After composing your question, enter the answer choices. If you've selected a quiz type which assigns a grade or score you'll see an option to tick 'correct' on your answers. Add a few answers and you’re done with the question.
  4. You can now adjust the look and feel of your quiz by choosing a theme on the 'Themes' tab. This step is optional but allows you to tailor colors and styles. On the 'Settings' tab, you can modify quiz behavior and how users interact with it.
  5. Results tab showing outcome types and configurations
    On the 'Results' tab, preview how your results will display. If your quiz assigns grades or recommendations, add your types, describe them, and assign them to answers from step 1. When ready, click Share and collect responses.

How do I add a leaderboard to my quiz?

You can show a ranked leaderboard at the end of your quiz to inspire a little healthy competition. To appear on the leaderboard your quiz takers will need to enter a name.

  1. If you haven't already done so add the “Name” question. The name entered here will be used in the Leaderboard
  2. On the Results tab +Content and select the Leadboard Option

How do I collect email addresses or leads with my quiz?

You can choose to require an email address to be entered at the end of your quiz in order to view results. This serves as a great way to begin an ongoing dialogue for either marketing or education purposes.

  1. Add your quiz questions
  2. Hit the “Leads” tab and tick “Lead Capture”
  3. You can now edit the questions asked in lead capture

If you check your results and don’t see lead capture entries it means participants closed the quiz at the point in which we asked for an email address. If you're seeing too much dropout either consider increasing the incentive or allowing lead capture to be skipped.

How do I change the look and feel of my quiz?

There are 40+ default themes to choose from and a custom theme editor. The editor can be used to change background images, colors and fonts to match your branding. The results will automatically be styled to match your quiz theme.

  3. Hit “Customize” to add your own background, colors and fonts

If you're feeling more adventurous and are familiar with CSS hit Settings → Plugins → View Add Plugins. From here you can create your own plugin to add your own custom CSS. If you're not experienced with front-end design it’s best to stick to the custom editor described above.

How do I send out invites to quiz takers?

There are a few ways to share your quiz online. By default your quiz will run on our cloud and be optimized to run on mobiles, tablets and desktops. You can choose to embed your quiz on your website. You can also control who gets to take your quiz with unique codes and passwords.
