A quiz that teaches
Every answer comes with its reason, right or wrong. People leave knowing why, not just what.
When to use it
Onboarding on security or safety, where the aim is to change what people do rather than to score them. A lesson that tackles common misconceptions head on. Self-study before a training session, so people arrive having already read why the usual mistakes are mistakes.

Why the example is built this way
-
Every wrong option is a real belief.
Write distractors people actually hold and give each one its own explanation. A player sees only the note on the right option and on the one they picked, so each correction reaches the person who needed it.
-
No clock while they read.
Reading a scenario, weighing four options and then reading the explanation is the activity. Fifteen seconds a question turns that into a reflex test, so turn off Give every question a time limit.
-
The review brings every explanation back.
Turn on Review every question at the end and the notes can be read again, question by question, once the quiz is over. Someone who rushed a question gets a second look at why.
