Starting the quiz without a button

The first click is the most expensive

Between your title and your first question sits a "Start" button. That is one more step, and it is where you lose the most people: they are interested, they read, and they still have to act before knowing what this is about.

Tiquiz lets you remove that step. Three choices, in the quiz settings:

• The button (default). Your intro screen, then a button.
• Ask for the first name. The first-name field shows right under your title. They type it and they are in.
• The first question. Your title, your subtitle, and question 1 with its answers straight away. Clicking an answer is starting.

What it actually changes

A question asked immediately, especially a simple two-answer one, engages far more than a button. They are not deciding "do I take this quiz": they are answering a question, and they are in.

The first name does two jobs at once: it engages, and it gives you the {name} variable to personalise your questions and results.

What Tiquiz refuses, and why

Some combinations make no sense, and the editor tells you rather than letting you publish a broken quiz:

• If you capture the email before the questions, you cannot start on question 1: the visitor would see the form first.
• If your quiz has no questions, there is nothing to start on.
• If you pick "ask for the first name" without enabling first name or gender, there is nothing to ask.

The first name is asked ONCE

If you ask for it up front, the capture form does not ask again: they already gave it, and one more pre-filled box right before their email only slows them down at the worst moment.

The first name still lands on your lead record. In the capture settings the "First name (asked upfront)" chip is on and cannot be unticked, because it would describe a field your visitor never sees.

What about your stats?

A quiz that starts on question 1 has no separate intro screen: a view becomes a start. Your start rate will jump, and that is not your quiz improving, it is a step disappearing. Compare what comes after, not that number.
