Quick Create

Quick Create courses are short, single-outcome workshops: one format, start to finish, in a sitting. These free, self-paced courses cover the interactive formats that are quick to produce but hard to find elsewhere - crossword puzzles, clickable interactive graphics, and embed placeholders that let you swap content on a live page without touching the code.

Questions about Quick Create on Riddle

What is Quick Create in Riddle?

Quick Create is the set of Riddle formats you can build in one short sitting rather than as a full project - a crossword, an interactive graphic, an embed placeholder. The Academy Quick Create courses mirror that: each one is a focused workshop covering a single format from blank editor to embedded on your page.

What is an embed placeholder used for?

An embed placeholder is a stable embed you place once on a page, then point at whichever Riddle you want it to show. Because the page holds the placeholder rather than a specific quiz, you can rotate a daily puzzle, swap a seasonal poll, or schedule content changes without ever editing the page again - which is how the content delivery automation course uses it.

How long do these courses take?

Each Quick Create course is designed to be completed in a single session and is free and self-paced, so you can follow along in the Riddle editor as you watch.
