Help me make my survey more dynamic?

October 12, 2015 12:09 PM

So many survey sites but do all of them make generic, static surveys? Is there a site I can use to make it an animated survey, like a flash game?

I have a trade show coming up and access to a touchscreen. I want to use the screen on the wall and run a game off it it. The game consists for 10 questions, ideally timed but that part is not a deal breaker. The survey needs to store the answers, along with contact info they input and give me a final score at the end. Is there a site or app I can use to make each question an animated slide and add photos to as opposed to just having a Survey Monkey/Google survey form on the screen? I want to make it animated to get people to come and touch it and want to take the quiz. I understand the basics of Adobe Flash so if you have a tutorial to build something like this feel free to share it. Or can I do something like this in PowerPoint?

I will have access to the internet on the show floor, if it matters.

--or on the flip side am I completely insane and this is not possible and the only solution is an expensive touchscreen app?--

Thanks for your help in advance.

Articulate storyline might do this. I mean it will definitely do the animation and you can do fun formatting for the questions, but it's meant to hook into a separate back-end for storing the answers. It doesn't just spit out a spreadsheet. This isn't cheap software though adn might not be worth it for a one-time thing.

I'm not exactly sure how robust it is on the pretty pictures side of things, but the ClueKeeper app might work in a way you can use. It keeps time and allows hints. I've only ever been on the player side of it but it's been very useful for puzzles/scavenger hunts.

I just spent a day looking at several online survey providers; Survmetrics had the spiffiest designs, for sure. Can't say if it would actually do what you want, though. Also, not sure about cost. It wasn't an option for us, but maybe you'll be interested.
