Why the Text and Media Block works

Set the scene. Open with a cover slide. A headline, image, or video that frames what follows.
Tell a story mid-flow. Drop a block between questions to add a data point or narrative beat.
Deliver sponsor moments. Place a branded block between questions, right where attention peaks.
Add visual depth. Break up text-heavy sequences with an image or video that reinforces the theme.

How to use the Text and Media Block

As a cover slide.

Set the scene before a Quiz, Poll, Survey, or minigame. Add a headline, an image or video, and a brief description that gives users the context they need to engage fully with what follows.

Between questions for storytelling.

Drop a Text and Media Block mid-quiz to add a data point, a stat, instructions, spoilers, or a story beat that makes the following questions land harder. Interactive content that tells a story outperforms content that just asks questions.

For sponsor and brand moments.

Place a branded Text and Media Block between questions to deliver a sponsor message in a focused, full-screen format. Users are engaged and mid-flow. Attention is already captured.

To add visual richness.

Break up text-heavy Quiz or Poll sequences with an image or video that reinforces the theme, adds editorial depth, or simply gives users a visual moment before the next question.
