Setting Up a Quiz Calendar

Avatar

The Quiz Calendar is a fun way for your company to engage users leading up to significant company events, milestones, or the holidays. You can set up custom quiz questions, images, or text that your users can unlock each day of the calendar. This gives users a reason to come back daily and allows them to have fun using the platform.

There are two options for Quiz Calendars, depending on when you want to have the calendar live.

  • The Christmas Calendar has a pre-set date range. It begins on December 1st and ends on December 24th.
  • The Custom Calendar has a customizable time frame that can begin at any time. This quiz type must be a minimum of 2 days and can be a maximum of 40 days long.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed the Quiz Calendar plugin.
