How to Add Open-Ended Questions to Your Quiz

Introduction

Open-ended questions are a powerful way to collect detailed feedback or insights from your quiz participants. Unlike multiple-choice questions, they allow respondents to express their thoughts freely, giving you richer, qualitative data.

This guide walks you through adding an open-ended question to your Quizell quiz.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open the Quiz Editor

Log in to your Quizell account.
Locate the quiz you want to edit.

Open it in the Quiz Editor.

Step 2: Add a Lead Page

In the bottom-right corner, click the “+” button.

Select Lead Page from the options.

This creates a new lead page where you can collect user input.

Step 3: Add and Configure a Lead Input

On the new lead page, open the Lead Input options from the left-side menu.

In the Create New Input section:
Enter a name for your input field.
Choose Text or Textarea as the input type.

Text is best for short responses.
Textarea is ideal for longer, open-ended answers.

Click Add New Input to save your custom field.

Under Custom Inputs, select the input you just created to add it to your page.

Step 4: Customize Your Question

In the editor, click the new input field on your page to open its settings.

Personalize the field by updating:

Placeholder text (e.g., “Share your thoughts here…”).
Fonts, colors, padding and alignment to match your quiz design.
Required field toggle if you want every participant to provide an answer.

Additional Tips

✅ Provide clear instructions so participants know what kind of response you’re expecting.
✅ Preview and test your quiz to confirm the open-ended question looks good and works properly.
