Create and run a quiz

Create a Diggle
Table of Contents

Creating a quiz in Diggle is an engaging way to test knowledge and encourage competition among participants. Here’s how to set up and run a quiz from scratch, including detailed settings and options. Of course, you can also use the Create Quiz feature on the home page or AI-assisted creation for an easier start. This guide is a detailed explanation of all the different features.

 

How does a quiz work?

Participants compete to get the most points by submitting correct answers to quiz questions.

The presenter progresses through the quiz, pausing for players to answer at each slide.

All players see the question simultaneously on their devices and submit their answers before time runs out.

You can also run a quiz without the timer or in the audience navigation pace, allowing for asynchronous participation.

Finally, you can also use a quiz for a test, like an exam, with a passing grade. Read here to learn more.

Step 2: Editing a Quiz Slide

 

Write Your Question

Enter the question in the ‘Your question’ box.

 

Activate Quiz functionality 

Toggle the “Quiz functionality” button to activate quiz functionality. If not, the question type will behave like a regular multiple-choice question without scoring and a leaderboard.

 

Write Answer Options

Add answer options, marking the correct ones (Activate “Reply settings” to allow for more answers)

 

Change the Points Settings

Adjust how the points are counted.

Must not miss any: Players must get all the answers you’ve marked as correct to earn points.

 

The more the better: Participants get more points for each correct answer but will get 0 points if they get any incorrect answers.

 

Speed bonus (See general settings): When Speed Bonus is enabled, participants can earn bonus points based on the speed of their answers. The faster they provide the correct answer, the more bonus points they receive in addition to their regular score.

Additional Settings

 

Feedback about the topic

For each question, you can provide additional topic information to be revealed after participants submit their answers. This can include:


Detailed explanations for the correct answer.

Additional context or background information related to the topic.

Suggestions for further study or resources for deeper understanding.


This helps participants learn more about the topic and understand why their answers were correct or incorrect.

Step 3: Joining a Quiz

Disabled: Skips the countdown, allowing immediate responses.


Seconds to Answer

Disabled: Participants do not see their individual results.

 

Points Settings

Speed Bonus: Awards more points for faster answers. Only available per question, not the total quiz.
