What’s in this blog?

Here are a few things to bear in mind when you create fun interactive quizzes using a quiz maker online – fun quizzes are mostly outcome quizzes that are based on pop culture topics such as TV shows, movies, books, etc. Occasionally, they are also based on personal preferences. Here are a few examples:

1. Which Paris Fashion Week Gown Are You?
2. Which One of the Main Characters From Schitt’s Creek Are You?
3. Where will you be in 10 years?
4. Which Viral Puppy GIF Are You?

Fun quizzes can also be personality quizzes, like this one. The underlying idea of all fun quizzes is that each quiz option is mapped to an outcome that reflects an aspect of your character. The final outcome is a reflection of your dominant choice in the quiz, which in turn has a bearing on a facet of your character. In simpler terms, outcome quizzes reveal your character based on random preferences.

How to Make Sure that Your Quiz is ‘Fun’ Enough?

To ensure that the quiz you create is super fun and interactive, you just need to keep certain things in mind while working on it!

1. Interesting Title

The first thing that a user sees or reads is the title. Therefore, you need to make sure that the title of your quiz is short, simple, and interesting. Moreover, a boring title will never pique your user’s interest.

2. Cover Image

Just like the title, the cover image plays a great role in creating fun interactive quizzes. The aesthetic appeal of your quiz majorly depends on the image you choose, so beware!

3. Attractive Quiz Description

You should always add a description when you create fun interactive quizzes for your business or brand. Missing or poor quiz descriptions can be a major turn-off and may lead to an increased drop-off rate. 

4. Engaging Questions

To create a fun interactive quiz, make sure that the questions you add are fun and engaging. Analyze your target audience and come up with questions that they might find relatable and amusing.

5. Use of Graphics [Images, GIFs with Qs]

Make use of graphics like images, GIFs, etc. along with the questions to make your quiz look more interesting and less bland. Without any images, your quiz will be all words and no fun.

6. Interesting & Personalized Results

Lastly, to make sure that your users share your quiz, provide them with interesting, personalized results. You can develop fun results based on your workflow and customize everything by adding variables for names, responses, etc.

The Process

Getting started with your fun quiz: It is important to be clear with the context when you create fun interactive quizzes. We are sure that you have lost count of the number of “Which X character are you?”, “How many X do you know about Y?” quizzes. 

All these types derive context from popular media thus the first thing when it comes to creating a fun quiz is having a clear idea of the context. We have chosen Nickelodeon children’s shows for the context of our quiz. The title is also from the context, therefore the quiz we are coming up with is “Which Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Wannabe Actor Are You?”

Now, there are 2 ways to go about creating the quiz. You can start with the questions first or start with creating the outcomes. For fun quizzes, it is better to start with the outcomes first and work your way backward. Here are two sample outcomes we came out with for our Nickelodeon quiz.

Once we are done with the outcomes, we start listing down the questions. The sweet spot for the number of questions is 6-10. We now go ahead and add the questions.

When you’re creating questions, keep in mind a few things – make them fun, keep them short, and pep them up with images and gifs. Also, don’t forget to add options to each question and make sure that each option is mapped to an outcome.

You can add the questions and edit the text and options in the right panel.

The user chooses an option for each question. Each option is mapped to an outcome. The result is the outcome whose options have been chosen the most number of times.

The Home Run

The results page is important to hammer your point home. For a fun quiz, the results page is of added importance. As you know, this is where the user gets to decide whether the overall experience was actually “fun” or not. 

Also, use humorous phrasing and quirky gifs to emphasize the light-heartedness of the quiz. The more satisfied the user is with the quiz, the more likely he/she is to share. Here’s a compilation of results page best practices to get your results page game up to scratch.

Lead Generation

You can attach the lead generation form within the quiz in a place of your choice (we recommend it before the results). Consequently, when it comes to designing the lead gen form, keep in mind that shorter lead gen forms perform better. 

For fun outcome quizzes, the name and email are sufficient. Make sure you have a well-defined and justifiable purpose if you want to extract more info (for example, you want to provide personalized recommendations).

Furthermore, you can also send the results to your users through personalized emails by going to the Configure tab and choosing email notifications. Additionally, you can also enable the option to receive email notifications as soon you get a lead.

We hope that this guide to fun quizzes was helpful. Here’s a quick tip: if you’ve mistakenly created a graded quiz in place of an outcome quiz, don’t panic. Hit the“Switch Experience” button in the “Display Settings” part of the builder. Do you still need help? You know where to go.

We followed the same process as described above while creating the following quiz. Check it out below, or open it in a separate tab.
