Description
Launch a quiz in the form of multiple-choice questions. Your fans have to answer the questions correctly. The higher the score (1 correct answer = 1 point), the greater the chance of being drawn. To make it easier to answer, you can integrate a clickable ‘Hint’ button to your YouTube videos or website.
💡 Worth knowing: there are other ‘Quiz’-type mechanics:
The Psychoquiz offers a personality test, where each answer is linked to a profile.
The Chronoquiz is a quiz where participants have to answer the questions correctly within the time limit.
The Openquiz allows your prospects/customers to put forward their ideas, opinions and views using open-ended answers.
The configuration stages
The Quiz consists of the following sections:
Configuration: to determine the general parameters of your campaign.
Home: to import the legal documentation for your game (rules, privacy policy, etc.) and set the parameters for the home page.
Form: to choose the fields for your form and set its design parameters.
Mechanics: to define the parameters of the game and its design, export the entries and manage the follow-up of your campaign (limits, prize draws, etc.). This article will focus on this section in particular.
Results: to customise the end-of-campaign pages according to the participant's score.
Installation: to activate and distribute your campaign to your audience.
To see the different options available for each section, we recommend that you read the articles associated with them.
Creating a Quiz design
Before getting started, we recommend that you read this article, which explains the basics of creating graphics on Socialshaker: Creating the graphics for your campaign. As with all the other mechanics, you can choose between using the templates provided or importing your own template.
If you choose the latter option, you will need to create the following elements for this mechanic:
Campaign background (1920x1080px recommended).
Desktop home page background (810x700px recommended) and Mobile home page background (480×710px recommended).
Desktop (810x700px recommended) and Mobile (480×710px recommended) form page background.
Game page background (810x700px recommended) - no Mobile image for this background, it will be resized automatically.
Image for sharing on social networks (810x700px recommended).
Background for the ‘Won Page’ (810x700px recommended) and Mobile (480×710px recommended).
Background for the ‘Lost Page’ (810x700px recommended) and Mobile (480×710px recommended).
Note that you can use the campaign background as the default background for all pages on Mobile by checking the appropriate box:

Questions
This module allows you to add questions and answers to your Quiz. Each question is limited to 5 answers. There is no limit to the number of questions you can configure.
Add questions
Enter the number of questions you wish to generate and confirm by clicking on the ‘Add questions’ button.
In ‘List of questions’, you can easily change the order in which they appear in the game using drag&drop.
💡 Tip: to avoid a group of words or a series of numbers being cut off if they end up at the end of a line in your questions/answers, you can use a non-breaking space. The group of words or series of numbers will then be moved to the beginning of the next line.
on a PC: hold down the ALT key and type ‘0160’ on the numeric keypad
on MAC: press ALT (Option) and the SPACE bar
Add answers
You can configure the answers to your questions by clicking on the "Actions “ and ”Configure ’ buttons:
You can illustrate your question with an image or a video. You can also activate the hint button and add a link so that the participant is redirected to a site by clicking on it. You can also choose how the answers will be displayed: list format or mosaic format.
Finally, decide on the type of response (text, image, video). If you wish, you can activate multiple responses. When configuring the answers, you can decide to have several possible correct answers, for example.
How do I delete questions?
You can delete all the questions by clicking on ‘Delete all’ or delete them one by one. To do this, click on the ‘actions’ button and then ‘delete’.
Theme
This module lets you import game backgrounds and customise the rendering of your texts and buttons.
How do I import my backgrounds?
The game background is imported in the ‘Page design’ section. Only the Desktop background can be uploaded, and it will be resized to display on Mobile as well. If you wish, you can force the display of your campaign background for the Mobile version - this operation is carried out in the "Configuration ’ section of your campaign.
How can I customise the rendering of questions and answers?
To change the colour of the questions and answers, go to the ‘Mechanics’ step and then to the ‘Theme’ tab. Here you can change the look of your questions and answers.
✍️ Please note: the font for your campaign can be set in the ‘Configuration’ section, under ‘Campaign skin’.
Setting up the ‘Hint’ button
The ‘Hint’ button allows players to get help with each question during the game. You first need to determine the URL link of the game help (usually a photo or an article on your website) in the ‘Questions’ module, via ‘Actions’ > ‘Configure’ :
You can choose its appearance by default and on hover in ‘Replay button’.
Setting the ‘Replay’ button
The ‘Replay’ button allows players to improve their score by replaying as many times as they like. You can choose its appearance by default and on hover in ‘Replay button’.
Shares
To find out how to share a quiz on social networks, we recommend you read this article: Sharing your quiz on social networks.
Random drawing
A draw is used to determine the winners of your quiz campaign. To find out how to draw lots for a Quiz and what criteria are taken into account, we recommend that you read this article: Drawing lots
Limitations
By default, each participant can play as much as they like in the campaign. To set up game limits, click on "Limit type ’ and choose one of the following options:
limit per day
limit by campaign
limit by IP
You must then enter a number corresponding to the desired limit - don't forget to change it in the text that will be displayed to the participant if they reach this limit. You can also limit the maximum number of participants in a Quiz campaign. Set this number in the "Limit on total entries ’ field - you can also change the text that will be displayed to all participants who try to play after this limit has been reached.
Note: the text page displayed when a limit is reached will use the colour codes of your Menu (defined background colour + white text).
Exporting your campaign data
You can export 2 types of file containing participation data:
Participants export: includes the data of all participants in your campaign. You'll find this either in the ‘List of participants “ module in the ”Mechanics’ section, or via the ‘Export and Tracking “ choice in the ”Actions’ button for your campaign in the Dashboard.
Newsletter participants export: includes only the data of subscribers to your newsletter if you have activated this field on the form. You'll find this via the ‘Export and Tracking “ option of your campaign's ”Actions’ button in the Dashboard.
Exporting the answers given by participants in your Quiz is a paying option - please contact us if you wish to activate it.
