Multiple respondents in the same form with toggling


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hi Everyone,

I am building a form looking like a quizz and I am facing a challenge that I am not able to address. I thought I could use your help and experience for that.

Context : I created a Quizz where I would like several respondents to answer the same instance of the quiz together (with one instance and not sharing the link twice).

 

The mechanics I would like to implement :

  • The respondents enter their names (maximum 5) before entering in the form. For example : Player 1 and Player 2
  • The default use : when you answer a question, the response in the same for Player 1 and Player 2
  • If the “ * “ is pressed on the keyboard, we can toggle between Player 1 and Player 2 and the answer goes for either Player 1 or Player 2 depending on the toggle

What I tried :

  • I played a bit with Logic Design but the thing is that it is not adapative. Everything needs to be decided before.

It will be awesome if I could use your experience and give me some insights :)

 

Cheers,

Spike

Hi @Spike Thanks for stopping by the community! Out of curiosity, what kind of game are you building? 

It isn’t possible to have more than one person fill out the form at the same time, so there sadly isn’t a workaround for this. Though, is there any chance you could have one person submit answers and then another? If so, there could be some possibilities for workarounds for this!

Hi Liz !

Thanks for your reply. It is much appreciated :)

We are making a game where you would be able to calculate your carbon footprint in a fun way. Thus we spent much time to think of a lot of mini games. And this one is one of them.

 

Arf, I am kind of disappointed to not be able to do that with Typeform. By chance, do you have any recommendations for a tool that can help me do that ?

 

Sckanda,

Ooo! I love this! It sounds so cool. I’d like to know (or maybe I wouldn’t like to know ha!) my footprint. Offhand, I don’t know other services that can build something like this, but possibly @Paulo or @vickioneill have come across one. 

If you’re still thinking along the lines of Typeform, we do have a simple game template here that can help you get started. :grinning:

Ahaha Liz,

You should try ! You will be quite surprise ! I looked at the game template you did. It is quite cool.

 

That gave me an idea. Is it possible to personalize the mapping of an answer to a speciic key of the keyboard ? I would like to map the question 4 to the space bar.

 

Thanks again for your follow up !

:joy:  I’m sure I would be - I do tend to fly a lot! 

It isn’t possible to map a question to a specific key on the keyboard, but do you mind sharing a bit more on what you’re thinking here? I can try to think up some workarounds!

Hi Liz !

The idea is to :

  • Limit the number of player to three and have the questions already prepared in the form for all the participants (Player 1, Player 2 and Player 3)
  • Ie : If there is only one player (Player 1) the question for the player 1 is displayed and answered then the question for the Player 2 is displayed but this time instead of answering the question, I would like to map the last answer (N/A) to the space bar so we can skip it quickly.

Let me know if this is clear enough :)

Thanks a lot Liz !

Hi Liz,

I can also explain you in details the workaround I have in mind.

I will create a form with :

Question 1 for Player 1

  • Name for Player 1
  • Name for Player 2
  • Name for Player 3
  • Q1 for Player 2
  • Q1 for Player 3
  • Q2 for Player 1
  • Q2 for Player 2
  • Q2 for Player 3
  • Q3 for Player 1
  • Q3 for Player 2
  • Q3 for Player 3

Based on the questions relatives to the names, I would like to say :

If the answer in “Name for Player 3” is equal to “None” ignore all the questions for Player 3

 

Do you think there is a possibility to impletement something like that ?

Hi @Spike Hm, it’s not possible to map anything to a specific key, but you could mark the question as not required so the respondent can skip right past it. 

Regarding having multiple players in one form, it may be easier to create three different forms. This isn’t the solution you’re looking for, but since we don’t have a way to have simultaneous answers, three different forms would allow you to see the difference between the players answering, even though their answers wouldn’t be based on one another. 

If I think of anything else, I’ll stop by to let you know!

Okay Thanks Liz ! I will think of that. Meanwhile I will ask an other question in an other topic :)
