Drag & Drop Questions for Trivia Games

When using Drag & Drop Order questions in a trivia game, the answer options added to the question will be arranged into a "correct order" on the Experience Dashboard. Your participants must then arrange a scrambled version of the answer options into exactly the correct order to earn a correct answer for the trivia question.

Using Drag & Drop Order questions in a trivia game allows questions like the following to be asked:

• "Put these Taylor Swift albums in chronological order from earliest to latest."
• "Arrange these U.S. presidents in order from first to last."
• "Order these NFL players according to most Superbowl championships won, lowest first."

Then participants must arrange the added answer options in the correct order.

Drag & Drop Questions for Polls

When using Drag & Drop Order questions in polls, participants are simply arranging or "ranking" answer options in order to cast a vote. Participants are simply casting a vote in the form of an order or ranking.

Using Drag & Drop Order questions in a poll allows questions like the following to be asked:

• "Place the following company benefits in order of priority to you."
• "Rank the following menu items at our restaurant in order of most to least favorite."
• "Arrange the following vacation destinations from your most to least desired."

Create a New Drag & Drop Order Question

On the Experience Dashboard, click on the Question Tools button and click Add Blank Question. By default, a new multiple-choice question will be added.

The Question Tools menu on the Experience Dashboard's Questions tab.

On the newly added question, click on the green Edit Question button with a pencil icon. In the Edit Question menu, click on the Drag & Drop Order question type. Now click the green Save Question button with the checkmark icon. The question is now a Drag & Drop Order question.

You can also edit any existing question to be a Drag & Drop Order question using the above process.

By default, your Drag & Drop Order question will have four answer options. You may add as many answer options as you want up to the maximum. You may also add Answer Images to your answer options. At a minimum, you must have at least three answer options.

Editing Answer Option Text

Edit the text of your answer options by clicking on the text of the answer option or click the Edit Answer button with the pencil icon. Update the text of your answer and then click the green Save Answer button with a checkmark icon.

Arranging Answer Options Into the Correct Order

For trivia games, to define the correct order of the answers, simply drag and drop them into the correct order on the Experience Dashboard. To drag, click on the drag icon in the lower-left corner of the answer option. Their set order defines the correct order. On the Presentation View and Participant View, the answer options will be scrambled when it's time for participants to answer.

For polls, the arranged order of the answer options does not matter and has no effect.

Minimum and Maximum Answer Options

Currently, Drag & Drop Order questions have a minimum of 3 answer options and a maximum of 100 answers per question.

Running Drag & Drop Order Questions

Upon activating a Drag & Drop Order question in your trivia game or poll, participants will receive a scrambled version of the answer options on their device. They must then drag and drop the answers into the correct order (or desired order for polls) and press the Submit Answer button.

The Presentation View shows the answer options scrambled.

Players drag and drop the scrambled answer options into the correct order on the Participant View.

Show Live Answer Results

When the question timer ends and/or the host is ready to end the question, the live answer results can be displayed by enabling the Show Live Answer Results (A) view on the Experience Dashboard. Triggering this view will animate the answer options and display the "Top Voted Order" on both the Participant View and the Presentation View. This displays the overall top voted order of the answer options.

Show Correct Answers

For trivia games, after displaying the Live Answer Results, the host can then display the correct answer by enabling the Show Correct Answers (C) view on the Experience Dashboard. Triggering this view will animate the answer options and display the "Correct" order on both the Participant View and the Presentation View. The correct answer order will also highlight the answer options in green if the player answered correctly and in red if the player answered incorrectly.

Easy Trivia Question?

If the trivia question is easy for participants to answer correctly, the "Top Voted Order" may also be the "Correct" order and no animation will occur between enabling Show Live Answer Results (A) and Show Correct Answer (C).

The Presentation View shows the "Correct" order when enabling Show Correct Answers (C).

The Participant View also shows the "Correct" order and indicates if the participant answered correctly or incorrectly.

Reviewing Results on the Experience Dashboard

On the Experience Dashboard's Questions tab for a Drag & Drop Order question, there are various stats including Answers Received and the Answered Correct percentage. You can quickly review these stats to understand how many participants have answered the question and what percent answered correctly.

On the Summary tab of the Experience Dashboard, an overall summary of the trivia game or poll can be viewed.
