Create a New Poll

Welcome to the Getting Started with Crowdpurr Polls tutorial. This tutorial will quickly walk you through every step you need to learn how to create, edit, run and reset a Crowdpurr Poll for your audience.  We recommend going through each step of the tutorial, but you may also skip ahead by using the links in left-hand column.

Creating Your First Poll

To create your first Poll, simply click on the Create Experience button in the left-hand navigation column or click on the Get Started button on the My Experiences page.  This will open the Create New Experience page. This page lists all of the experience types that are available to you on Crowdpurr. You're allowed to create as many experiences as your plan allows.  Your plan's Experience Limit refers to the amount of simultaneous experiences you can create and run at the same time. The free Basic Plan allows you to create up to 3 Experiences for free.

What's the difference between a Poll and a Trivia Game?

Polls have questions that have do not have a correct answer; it simply asks an opinion-based question and you can view results of that question. However, a trivia question will have a correct answer that your crowd tries to guess to earn points. Players are then ranked by how many points they earn. Don't worry, if you accidentally created a Poll instead of a Trivia game, or vice-versa, simply click on My Experiences and remove the Poll Experience you don't want, and create a new Trivia Game instead.

Selecting a Poll Type to Create

Now, click on the Create button on the green Multiple-Choice Poll box under the Crowd Polls section. This will get you started on creating your new Multiple-Choice Poll by opening the Experience Wizard that will guide you through setting up your new Multiple-Choice Poll.

Poll Type Shortcuts

Each type of Poll shown under the Create Experience list is just a shortcut to quickly setup that type of Poll. You can always reconfigure a Poll's type after creating it so you do not need to start over. A Poll is later configurable under the green Poll Settings settings tab on the Experience Dashboard.

After clicking Create, you will be taken to the Experience Wizard that will walk you through some initial settings for your Poll such as how many questions you want, types of questions, and the Experience Playback Mode.

Next Steps

Now that we've selected the type of Poll we want, you're now ready to proceed to the next step Adding Poll Questions with the Experience Wizard.
