Question Actions

Question actions form the foundation of knowledge-based challenges. They turn passive reading into active participation. Ten distinct question types give you options—pick based on what you’re actually trying to accomplish. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions”—questions expand understanding in ways passive content never can.

​

Open-Ended Questions

Users respond in their own words. These gather authentic insights and test real understanding, not just pattern recognition. Configuration:

• Question text (the prompt)
• Optional description or context
• Optional light/dark theme images
• Optional validation (require an answer before submit)

Open-ended responses are reviewed by admins—there’s no automatic scoring. The point is to read what people actually think.

​

Multiple Choice Questions

Users pick from predefined options. Fast to score, easy to understand, works for almost everything. Configuration: Quick setup:

• Type your options directly into the form
• Quiz mode: Check boxes next to correct answers. Toggle “require correct answer” if they must get it right to progress
• Survey mode: Use dropdown menus to set min/max selection limits

Pro tip: For simple true/false questions, just create a multiple choice with two options: “True” and “False”. Works perfectly as a warm-up or quick knowledge check.

​

Specific Answer Questions

Users type their answer. The system checks it exactly against the correct answers you define. Good for fill-in-the-blank, terminology, product names, or any question requiring precise text matching. What you set:

• Your question (e.g., “What’s the capital of France?”)
• All acceptable answers (e.g., “Paris”, “paris”, “PARIS”)
• Optional description, context, or images

Key details:

• Matching is case-sensitive (“Paris” ≠ “paris”)
• Add every variation you want to accept upfront
• No fuzzy matching—must be exact

Use this for knowledge checks where precision matters. Think through acceptable variations before users start answering.

Rating Experience

Ask users to express a preference, satisfaction, or agreement. These feel less like tests and more like asking for opinions. Pick a visual style: That’s it. Pick a style that matches your tone, add your question, and you’re done. The visual style does the heavy lifting.

​

Select From List

When you have many predefined options and need users to pick from them. Works great for “which product are you using?” or “pick your favorite feature.” Configuration:

• Add your list of options (2 or more)
• Upload via CSV if you have hundreds of options
• Set minimum answers users must pick
• Set maximum answers allowed

Single vs multiple selection:

​

Select From Images

Users answer by clicking images instead of reading text. Engages visual learners and tests what they actually remember. Two modes: Configuration:

• Add 2+ images (you upload them or paste URLs)
• Each image gets a name/label
• Set how many images they must select (1, 2, etc.)
• Quiz mode: Mark which images are correct answers
• Poll mode: Leave blank (no right answer)

Images can be product screenshots, design options, lifestyle photos—anything visual that helps users answer better.

​

Date Selection

Users pick specific dates using a calendar picker. Perfect for scheduling, retrospectives, or timeline activities. Configuration:

• Your date question
• Optional description or context
• Optional light/dark theme images
• Choose which dates are allowed:
  • Past dates only
  • Future dates only
  • Any date

The calendar picker respects your constraint—if you say “future dates only,” it highlights future dates and grays out the past.

​

Secret Access Code

Verify that users completed an external task or attended an event. They enter a code to prove it. Configuration:

• Your verification question (e.g., “Enter the code from the event”)
• Optional description
• Enter the valid codes (1 or more)

Single-use or reusable: The system handles codes case-insensitively.

---

​

Select Value In Range

Users slide a selector to pick a value on a spectrum. Perfect for estimations, preferences, or assessments. Feels more interactive than typing a number. Configuration:

• Your range question (e.g., “Estimate how many team members you have”)
• Minimum value (e.g., 1)
• Maximum value (e.g., 10000)
• Step size (e.g., 1 = integers, 0.5 = half-steps)
• Unit of measurement (e.g., “people”, “dollars”, “minutes”)
• Unit placement (show before or after the number)

Scale type:

Choosing the Right Question Type

Real-world flow: An onboarding challenge might use Multiple Choice for warm-up → Multiple Choice (harder) for core concepts → Open-Ended for reflection. This progression feels natural and doesn’t overwhelm users.

Questions are where passive viewers become active participants. Design them thoughtfully to create genuine learning and participation opportunities.
