Customers leave, training in Degreed doesn't work — why?
Employees complete training in Degreed just to check a box — they open a course, fast-forward the video, and take the test at random. A week later, they forget 80% of the material, and the new knowledge never makes it into their work.
The company invests in team development but gets neither improved metrics nor changed employee behavior.
As a result, the business suffers: customers sense staff incompetence and switch to those who implement new approaches faster. Training in Degreed becomes a formality — even though it is precisely what should provide a competitive advantage.
The problem is not the platform, but the way content is presented: long lectures and passive tests do not hold adults' attention.
Engagement decides everything. When employees actively participate in the process rather than just staring at a screen, natural memory mechanics kick in.
Short interactive quizzes with instant feedback, a competitive element, and real-world practice scenarios turn boring mandatory training into a game. People start applying knowledge immediately — not after a "required course."
That is why we build browser-based quiz games that integrate into Degreed and bring training to life without changing the familiar system. Employees go through the material at their own pace, see their progress, and get results.
The company gets real learning effectiveness: stronger competencies, fewer mistakes, and higher service quality.
We understand how adult learners work and what keeps their attention. So we take your content and turn it into a game format that proves the value of training in numbers. If Degreed isn't working, it's time to change the approach, not the platform.
Benefits of quizzes for employee training
Standard corporate training often becomes a formality: employees click through slides "for show" and forget up to 80% of the material within a week.
Quizzes solve this problem — they turn passive reading into an active game where everyone checks themselves and sees progress.
Gamified learning is not entertainment; it is a practical engagement tool. When employees answer questions, earn points, and see a leaderboard, natural competitiveness kicks in: they want to do better, faster, and without mistakes.
This approach keeps attention through to the end of the quiz and makes people come back to close their knowledge gaps.
From an HR and manager perspective, quizzes give a clear picture of the team's knowledge. You see which topics have been absorbed and which need revisiting.
This replaces lengthy surveys and intuitive guesswork with objective data on each employee's progress — and the whole process takes just 10–15 minutes of working time.
The quiz format works both for onboarding new hires and for regular upskilling of experienced specialists. The material is delivered in small portions, and questions test practical understanding rather than memorized phrasing.
The company gets training that employees actually complete, not something they put off "until later."
This approach easily integrates into an existing corporate training system, including working through Degreed — employees take quizzes in a familiar interface, and results automatically flow into the overall analytics.
Implementation does not require changing tools or additional instruction sessions, so the project can be launched in a matter of days.
Quiz formats for business tasks
For business, what matters is not just "taking a course" but reinforcing knowledge and seeing results. An educational quiz solves this: the employee gets a clear scenario, and the manager gets transparent statistics. We develop quizzes for employees around a specific goal, rather than assembling templated surveys.
The quiz format determines how employees perceive the material: as a mandatory check or as an engaging game. This affects reach, engagement, and how much information stays in memory. Below are three core formats that cover most business tasks.
Choosing a format for the task
| Format | For whom | What it gives the business |
|---|---|---|
| Test | New employees, frontline staff, certification | Quick knowledge check, objective statistics, identification of gaps |
| Quiz | Sales teams, marketing, team events | Engagement, competitiveness, increased interest in learning |
| 3D quest | Complex processes, new employee onboarding | Scenario immersion, hands-on memorization, risk-free practice |
For each task, we create a custom scenario: questions, hints, and feedback on answers. The business quiz integrates with your learning management system, including Degreed — the employee trains in a familiar environment, and you get unified reporting.
Formats can be combined: a test for knowledge control, a quiz for motivation, and a 3D quest for complex topics. This way, you cover both mandatory programs and soft-skill development — all in one tool.
How we create quizzes for your employees
We designed the process so you always know which stage the quiz is at and what you will get as a result. No "black boxes": every step is agreed upon, timelines are set, and you make decisions — from scenario to launch date.
-
Brief and goals. At the start, we discuss the target audience for the quiz, what knowledge should be checked, and what outcome is needed — higher engagement, material repetition, or certification. We record tasks and success metrics.
-
Scenario and questions. Our instructional designers turn your material into clear questions and a scenario with levels, hints, and explanations. You receive the final text before development begins — you see exactly what employees will encounter.
-
Approval. You make changes to the questions, style, and flow logic. Until the scenario is approved, we do not move to the next stage — this prevents rework in later phases.
-
Development and design. We build the quiz in your corporate style: visuals, animations, sound. You get a demo version and can check how everything looks and works before the full launch.
-
Launch and access. We publish the quiz on your learning platform or provide a link for employees. We configure access, deadlines, and result display — no technical team required on your side.
-
Support and refinement. After launch, we monitor completion, collect results, and, if needed, update questions or add new rounds. You can always come back to us for the next version of the quiz.
This approach ensures that building a quiz for employees happens without surprises: you control every stage, and the quiz launches exactly on schedule.
Deliverables for an educational quiz
When you order an educational quiz, it is important to understand what you actually get. We deliver not just a list of questions, but a complete learning tool that works immediately on your Degreed platform and solves your employee development challenge.
The package includes everything needed for launch, administration, and results analysis without developer involvement.
- Ready-made quiz. A fully set-up browser game: your questions, your rules, your branding. Employees complete it from any device without installing anything.
- Admin panel. Change questions yourself, add new rounds, manage access. Quiz administration takes minutes and requires no technical skills.
- HR materials. Ready-made instructions, launch scenario, announcement templates, and tips for internal communications — so employees hear about the quiz and participate actively.
- Team training. A short webinar for HR and internal trainers: how to manage the quiz, view results, export reports, and use statistics to develop employees.
- Project source files. The quiz is fully yours — you are not tied to a contractor. Any further work can be done by your own team or passed to another provider.
- Degreed integration. The quiz is embedded in your corporate learning portal, and employee progress is automatically tracked in the overall system: you see who completed it, who succeeded, and who needs extra support.
This package covers the entire cycle — from launch to performance analysis. You get not a one-off game but an instrument you own and can easily scale to new topics, departments, and offices.
Case study: a quiz for Degreed increased engagement 3 times
When it comes to employee training, the main problem is not content but engagement. Courses are completed just to check a box, knowledge is not retained, and performance evaluation turns into a long manual process.
This is exactly the task with which Degreed — an international corporate learning platform — came to us.
The challenge
The client wanted to revitalize internal training and get an objective picture of how well employees had absorbed the material.
They needed a solution that would easily fit into the existing Degreed ecosystem, require no extra software installations, and provide transparent analytics for managers.
The solution
We developed a browser-based quiz game on Unity WebGL. It runs directly in the browser window — users can play from a laptop, tablet, or even smartphone, with nothing to download or configure.
The quiz integrates with Degreed: employees see it in a familiar interface, and results automatically flow into corporate reporting. The format consists of short rounds with questions, instant feedback, and competitive elements. This turns training into an exciting game rather than a boring lecture.
The result
Learning engagement grew 3 times: employees started taking the quiz voluntarily, not "under duress." Managers got clear reports on each participant without manual checking or data collection — time spent on knowledge assessment dropped by half.
Repeat completions are worth noting: employees retake the quiz to improve their score, which means knowledge is genuinely retained and applied at work.
The Degreed case showed: a game format turns boring mandatory training into a useful habit. If you want the same result for your team, we will show you how to adapt the quiz to your needs.
Common concerns when ordering quizzes
Before launching an educational quiz, clients always have three main questions: will the game break, is it easy to integrate into the existing training system, and will employees understand how to use it. This is normal — any new format requires confidence.
So let us address these concerns point by point, and then explain how we handle them from the very start.
What if the quiz breaks in the middle of training?
We take responsibility for the quiz working at every stage, from testing to launch. We check the game on different devices and browsers so employees do not encounter sudden errors. After launch, we stay in touch and quickly fix any issues — simple support is included in the cost.
Is it difficult to integrate the quiz into our learning system, such as Degreed?
No. We handle the integration ourselves: we connect the quiz to your LMS so results automatically flow into unified reporting. To the employee, it looks like a regular assignment inside a familiar portal — nothing to install or configure.
What if employees do not understand how to complete the quiz and give up?
We make the interface intuitive: large buttons, hints, and a short instruction right at the start. Before launch, we run a test session with real users to eliminate any ambiguity. As a result, employees spend their time learning rather than figuring out game mechanics.
As you can see, all risks are removed during the planning and preparation stage. You get a ready-made quiz that works inside your training process and requires no technical effort on your part.Let's discuss your quiz project?
Discussing your quiz project is the first step to making employee training less of a formality and more of a measurable result. Tell us which goals you want to reach: increase engagement, check knowledge after a course, or prepare the team for new processes.
We will suggest a format that fits both your training program and Degreed, and we will handle the entire process — from scenario to support.
What you get when you order a quiz from us:
- A scenario tailored to your needs. Not template questions, but story-driven mechanics that reflect your company's specifics and stay in employees' memory.
- Fast launch without burdening your team. We prepare the content, configure the quiz, and test it on a group of users ourselves.
- Clear analytics for HR and managers. After completion, you see who took the quiz, which topics caused difficulties, and where training needs to be reinforced.
- Work inside your ecosystem. Integration with Degreed or another learning system — employees take the quiz in a familiar interface, with no switching and no loss of progress.
- Adaptation to your corporate style. Logo, brand colors, and tone of questions — the quiz looks as if your own team made it.
- Post-launch support. If new questions arise, regulations change, or a repeat quiz is needed, we remain available and make updates quickly.
- Clear budget and timelines. Before work begins, we set the scope, schedule, and cost, so you know what you are paying for from the consultation stage.
Our quiz services include not only development but also methodological support: we will advise on how to phrase questions to test real knowledge rather than guessing.
If necessary, we will prepare questions together with your experts and package them into game mechanics with difficulty levels and feedback.
To take the first step, leave a request for a quiz consultation — we will explain how this would work in your case, show examples, and offer a solution that fits your budget. Just write to us, and we will prepare a commercial proposal within one business day.
How to choose a quiz format for your task?
Start with the goal, not the tool: what should employees do after the quiz — remember a procedure, master a new product, or hone a sales skill? If the task is quick onboarding and knowledge verification, a short format with questions and instant feedback works well.
But for behavior change or complex scenarios, a case-based quiz is better — one where participants analyze a situation and see the consequences of their decisions.
The second factor is the audience. Newcomers are more comfortable with small rounds that explain mistakes; experienced employees quickly engage with competitive formats featuring leaderboards and time limits.
If the quiz is intended for mass training, ease of access matters: no app installations, works right from the browser. If the goal is team cohesion, add a team mode — then the quiz becomes part of teambuilding.
If your company already uses a corporate learning platform such as Degreed, the quiz can be conveniently embedded into it — employees train in a familiar interface without switching between systems.
This boosts completion rates and simplifies statistics collection: managers see who completed it, who grasped the topic poorly, and who could become a mentor.
This is a common task for us — building a browser quiz that runs on any device and works seamlessly with an existing learning ecosystem.
Most importantly, do not chase the number of questions or flashy animation. A properly chosen quiz format delivers measurable results: higher engagement, fewer work errors, and faster onboarding.
That is why, before starting, we always clarify your business goal and employee profile, and only then propose a scenario — from a simple test to a multi-stage game narrative with feedback.
This way, you get not "a quiz for the sake of a quiz," but a tool that solves a specific challenge for your team.
