Customize questions with image based answers
Additional customizations are available for questions with image based answers.
- Image Shape: Choose from shapes such as square, landscape, portrait, or circle to better suit your brand’s style.
- Image Height: The default image height is set at 200 pixels, but you can adjust this between 100 and 500 pixels depending on your layout needs. This is particularly useful when you have multiple images per row, as resizing them can prevent them from becoming distorted.
- Image Mode: Lantern now supports three image modes—cover, fill, and contain. Each mode affects how the image fits within the allocated space:
- Cover: Crops the image to fill the space without distortion, but some parts of the image may be lost.
- Fill: Stretches the image to fill the space, which may result in distortion.
- Contain: Fits the entire image within the space without distortion, adding transparent margins if necessary.
- Checkmark Icon for Selected Answers
You can add a checkmark icon or any custom icon to indicate selected answers in quizzes.
This feature helps make it clear which options have been selected, enhancing user experience. By default, Lantern provides a simple checkmark icon, but you can upload your own to match your branding.
Content blocks
Content Blocks in quizzes allow you to add and customize various elements like text, images, lists, and links on different pages of your quiz, including the Welcome, Question, Transition, and Email Capture Pages. These blocks can help you provide extra context, enhance brand visuals, and engage users more effectively. They offer flexibility in placing content where you want it, whether it’s above, below, or between quiz elements, ensuring a personalized and cohesive experience for users.
You can get started by navigating to the Quiz Builder and selecting the page where you want to add a Content Block.

Dynamically reuse customer input data in questions
Incorporating dynamic data reuse into your quizzes allows for a highly personalized user experience. By capturing user information, such as a first name, and creating property IDs for each question, you can reference this data throughout the quiz to create a more engaging interaction. For example, if you capture a user's first name, you can greet them later in the quiz.
For more information, you can view the complete guide here.
By customizing each element of your quiz, you can create a truly engaging and personalized experience for your users. For any help or questions, feel free to reach out to our support team.
