Set up a Psychoquiz mechanism
Updated over 2 months ago

Description

Launch a Psychoquiz, or personality test. Your fans have to answer a series of questions to find out their profile. Click here to test the demo.

Note: there are other ‘Quiz’ type mechanics:

  • The Quiz is a classic mechanic where participants are invited to answer a series of questions and find the right answers.

  • 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.

Configuration stages

Psychoquiz consists of the following sections:

  • Settings: to determine the general parameters of your campaign.

  • Home screen: to import the legal documentation for your game (rules, confidentiality policy, etc.) and configure the home page.

  • Registration form: to choose the fields for your form and set its design parameters.

  • Concept: to define the parameters of the game and its design, export the entries and manage the monitoring of your campaign (limits, prize draws, etc.). This article will focus on this section in particular.

  • Publication: 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.

Psychoquiz 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 (1200x630px recommended).

Note that you can use the campaign background as the default background for all pages on Mobile by checking the appropriate box:


Concept section

Profiles

This module allows you to add profiles for your Psychoquiz.

Start by activating the profile, so that it is active when you set up the mechanics. Then define the profile by giving it a name and a description. Here you can also add a profile image and a clickable URL. Then add or delete other profiles. You can add up to a maximum of 5 profiles. Don't forget to validate the profile once it has been defined.

Questions

Next, set up the questions for your Psychoquiz. Choose the number of questions, then press the ‘add questions’ button. You can add 5 questions by 5 questions.

💡 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

Then configure the associated responses. You can add up to 5 responses. If you wish to display fewer than 5 responses, simply leave the field empty:

Use the ‘browse’ button to add a media image to accompany your reply. Don't forget to associate an answer with a profile. As a reminder, the aim of the game is to determine a profile for the participant corresponding to the answers given.

Questions Appearance

This module lets you import game backgrounds and customise the look of your texts and buttons.

Customize the background

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.

Customize the rendering of questions and answers

To change the colour of the questions and answers, go to the ‘Concept’ stage and then to the ‘Question appearance’ tab. Here you can change the look of your questions and answers.

✍️ Please note: the font for your campaign can be set in the Settings section, under ‘Campaign skin’.

Customize the game buttons

In this section, you can also set the rendering of the Next, Previous and Validate buttons:

Profile appearance

This part concerns the final display of the game, once the participant discovers their associated profile. You can import a personalized image here, using the same principle as in the ‘Questions appearance’ section.

Next, you can customise the editorial content, by changing the title and hiding or not hiding the profile distribution graph. You can also customize the statistics buttons. Finally, you can customise the profile description, the replay button and add a custom button. Don't forget to confirm at the bottom of the page.

Shares

To find out how to share your Psychoquiz on social networks, we recommend you read this article: Share your game on social networks.

Random drawing

A draw can be used to determine the winners of your PsychoQuiz campaign.

To find out how to draw lots for a Psychoquiz and what criteria are taken into account, we recommend you read this article: Drawing prizes.

Limits

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 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.

It is also possible to limit the maximum number of participants in a Psychoquiz 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 your Menu's colour codes (defined background colour + white text).

Data export

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 participants' answers to your Psychoquiz is a paying option - please contact us if you wish to activate it.

Q&A

How do I delete questions?

You can delete questions one by one by clicking on the ‘remove this question’ button. The answers associated with the questions will also be deleted.

How can I modify my campaign once it has been activated?

You can, of course, modify your campaign at any time - all you have to do is make the changes you want and then confirm them using the ‘Confirm’ button at the bottom of the page.

How many profiles can I configure? How many answers per question?

You are limited to a total of 5 profiles on the Psychoquiz, and a maximum of 5 answers per question.
