With the new Quiz Plugin 4.0, employee communication becomes even more interactive, modern and effective. This release features a comprehensive UI/UX redesign, new gamification features including multi-quiz leaderboards, and optimised user guidance for both desktop and mobile.

With its modernised interface, intuitive participation processes and more engaging results views, the plugin sustainably boosts engagement, motivation and participation. Ideal for campaigns, e-learning courses, awareness initiatives, onboarding programmes and interactive HR formats designed to actively involve employees and inspire them in the long term.

🎨 Complete redesign of the quiz plugin

We have completely revamped the quiz plugin to create a more modern, intuitive and consistent user experience.

The new design improves both quiz participation and configuration and management for editors. This makes interactions clearer, easier to understand and more user-friendly overall.

What’s new?

  • Modernised user interface, including a revamped leaderboard view
  • Improved participation flow for a more intuitive quiz experience
  • Enhanced readability and user guidance across different devices

Benefits & Advantages

  • Higher user engagement through clearer and more appealing user guidance
  • Improved usability and greater acceptance of quiz and participation formats

Impact

The redesign affects both:

  • End users taking part in quizzes
  • Editors/administrators who configure and manage quiz content

Important: Existing quizzes will continue to function. No migration steps are required.

🏆 Multi-quiz leaderboard* for campaigns & gamification

With the new multi-quiz leaderboard, multiple quiz instances can now be combined into a single leaderboard for the first time. This makes the quiz plugin ideal for long-term campaigns and gamification scenarios, such as regular quiz series running over several weeks or months.

Participants accumulate points across different quizzes and can view their total score and current ranking at any time.

Highlights

  • New widget for combined leaderboards across multiple quiz instances, usable on Staffbase pages
  • Total of all a user’s points across selected quizzes
  • Display of overall ranking based on points collected
  • Your own ranking remains visible, even outside the top rankings

Benefits for editors

  • Flexible selection of quiz instances to include
  • Configurable highlight colour
  • Optional title and description for campaigns
  • Easy integration as a widget within Staffbase

This feature is currently only available for the “Staffbase” platform. Please contact ees-support@telekom.de to install the widget.

⚽ Quiz template for the 2026 FIFA World Cup

To coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a new quiz template is now available to all customers with the release of Quiz Plugin 4.0. The ready-made template contains pre-prepared questions relating to the World Cup, enabling a quick and easy start to interactive World Cup campaigns.

This allows you to implement eye-catching quiz and engagement formats for your intranet, staff app or internal communication campaigns with minimal editorial effort – ideal for engaging and motivating staff during the tournament.

🔧 Further improvements for editors and users

Improved editor usability for anonymous mode.

The configuration of anonymous mode in quizzes has been made clearer. The selection of profile fields is now displayed in a compact, collapsed view by default, reducing unnecessary scrolling. Individual profile fields can still be conveniently configured via a drop-down section if required.

Transparency regarding profile fields in anonymous mode.

The consent prompt in anonymous quiz mode has been improved to provide greater transparency for users. Profile fields are now displayed along with their current values, so that users can clearly see which information is being processed.

The display is clearly structured in the format ‘Field name: Value’, thereby improving the clarity and traceability of data usage.
