How to Add a Welcome Screen to Your Quiz

The welcome screen is the first slide of your quiz: a short headline, a line of supporting text and a button that starts the quiz. Merchants also call it the welcome page, the welcome slide or the start screen. In the Quiz builder it is a question type called Welcome Message.

A welcome screen is optional. Without one, the quiz opens on your first question.

Why it is worth adding

The welcome screen is where customers decide whether the quiz is worth their time. Tell them what they get and how long it takes. See how to reduce quiz drop-off for what to put on it.

It has to be the first slide

The welcome screen only comes before your questions if it sits first in the question list. If you add one to a quiz you already built, check where it landed.

Write the welcome copy

The welcome screen is built from blocks, the same way every other slide is.

  • Click the Heading block to write your main line, and set its Size and Alignment.
  • Click + Add block and choose Text for the supporting sentence.
  • Both blocks take information recalls and Liquid templates, if you want to pull in something dynamic.

Keep it to one clear promise and one line of detail. Long welcome copy is a common cause of drop-off.

  1. Click the slide, then click the wrench icon to open the question settings.

  2. Type your main line into the question field on the slide.

  3. Turn on Show Description, and write your supporting sentence in the field that appears below it.
