Branching logic, unleashed.

Online quizzes are great for engagement - but typically present the same set of questions to every user.

Until now.

Give every quiz taker a unique experience. Show them new questions - based on their own responses.

Journey branching logic online quiz

Where quiz meets 'Choose your own adventure'

Our journey quiz was inspired by those classic "Choose your own adventure" books back when we were kids.

Every page, you'd get a choice - such as "You see a scary-looking house in the distance. Do you:"

  • Open the door (go to page 29)
  • Run home (go to page 77)

Now with the journey, you can create replicate this in a quiz format.

Each user is different. Their quiz should be too.

The journey is enormously flexible. Forget the standard 3-5 result types in a quiz.

Instead, think about 20, 30, or more.

If you ask a five question quiz, with each question having a further five answer options - that gives you a whopping 25 possible results.

The benefit? Each quiz taker will get their own hyper-specific outcome, based on their particular responses.

Perfect for assessment and product recommendations

Journey are powerful online marketing and assessment tools.

For example, BBC News created this 'Mental health: Can you tell if someone is struggling?' journey - it helps friends and coworkers spot warning signs when someone they know is suffering from anxiety or depression.

Brilliant for engagement

Journey quizzes are brilliant for engaging your audience. No matter if you're a sports team, a novelist, or an insurance company, journeys let each quiz taker control their experience:

  • "Can you make it as a pro football manager?"
  • "Would you be a good wizard?"
  • "How safe of a driver are you?"
  • "Are you really depressed?"

Yes, Riddle features flexible skip or branching logic with our ‘Journey’ online quiz format. Ask questions, then direct each quiz taker to different follow-up questions based on how they answer.

Check out how the BBC used the journey to power their mental health assessment tool - with conditional logic quizzes around spotting anxiety and depression.

Using conditional or branching logic is a powerful way of making your quiz unique to each quiz taker. The journey is especially good for things like product recommendations (“Which car should I buy?”) or detailed analyses (“Are you really depressed?”).

You start with broad questions (“How large is your family?”) - and then ask each user ever-more detailed questions (“Do you have a dog? Do you prefer electric or gas-powered cars?”), to help them arrive at the right recommendation for their needs.
