Why you should create a picture Quiz?

Who doesn’t like pictures? Images are everywhere. Social Media is a testimony of this, imagine Instagram without images, can you? it’s difficult, isn’t it? Images are quicker to process and grab eyeballs instantly if they are of high quality.

“A picture speaks louder than a thousand words,” they say, and it seems to be true! According to a study – Humans can process images up to 60,000 times quicker than words. Thus using pictures you can convey a lot more information with minimal effort this is what we are going to do.

The same goes for the Picture Quiz that you want to implement on your website. You may build a text-only quiz with interesting questions and relatable text answers and place it on your site, however, getting visitors to take the quiz will be tough.

Whereas when you place a beautiful placeholder image as a “Featured Image” of your quiz, the possibility of it getting clicked is quite high.
