If you’re here, you are probably looking for a quiz with logic that looks something like this.
What Is a Branching Logic Quiz?
A branching logic quiz (also known as conditional or skip logic) dynamically changes the questions or results a quiz taker sees based on their previous answers.
This allows you to create a more customized, relevant quiz experience for every quiz taker.
When to Use Branching Logic
Use branching logic when you want to:
Show different follow-up questions based on specific answers
Skip questions that aren’t relevant
Send quiz takers directly to a result
Create highly personalized quiz paths
Before You Enable Branching Logic
Step 1: From your Interact Dashboard, find the quiz you want to edit and click “Edit.”
Step 2: Before enabling branching logic, make sure you’ve created all required questions and results in the quiz builder.
You can switch back and forth between the quiz builder and the branching logic builder at any time to add more questions as needed.
Creating your Branching Logic Map
Step 1: Click the three dots next to Branching Logic, then select Enable Logic.
Step 2: Before you begin building, familiarize yourself with these two key elements:
The Start Block
Fixed starting point for all quiz takers
The question connected here will always be shown first
Questions & Results Sidebar
Displays all questions and results you’ve created
Drag items from here into your branching logic map
You can return to the main builder to create more at any time by hitting Save Map & Go Back at the top right corner.
Step 3: Drag your first question into the builder and connect it to the Start block using the connectors.
Step 4: Drag in additional questions to build your branching logic map.
In this example, the quiz branches based on how personality-driven vs. direct someone wants their quiz to be.
This creates different quiz experiences based on a single answer.
Answers 1–4: Each answer leads to a different follow-up question
Answer 5: The quiz skips directly to a result (shown as a purple block)
Step 5: Continue adding follow-up questions and results until every possible path ends in a result.
You can:
Assign a specific result to each path, or
Use the “Based on Correlations” result block to calculate results automatically
Best practice:
Manually assigning results gives you full control over the quiz experience.
Pro tip:
Branching logic maps can get large, so zoom out on your browser in order to see the entire map within your screen.
Branching logic quizzes can get complex. You can paste this article into an AI tool (like ChatGPT or Claude) and ask it to help you map out the quiz you want to build. It can guide you step by step.
FAQ: Branching Logic Quizzes
1. Are branching logic quizzes the same as skip logic, conditional logic, tree logic, flow chart, choose your own adventure, etc. quizzes?
Yes. Branching logic quizzes come by many many names. With Interact's branching logic quiz builder we give you a map where you can create any type of quiz you want where subsequent questions are based on previous answers. It's extremely powerful and visually easy to follow. It can get complicated, and you will want to make sure you have a very clear picture of what you want to create before you start building it in Interact because that makes it easier to follow as you are building.
2. How many branches, or unique outcomes, can my quiz have?
Comfortably up to 50. Uncomfortably up to 120. What I mean is that if you have up to 50 unique outcomes, building the quiz is relatively comfortable as long as you are on a large monitor and able to zoom out your browser to see the whole map inside of the Interact quiz builder. I have personally built quizzes with 120 outcomes, and it is totally possible, but you are looking at hours of painstaking work to make sure every possible route is correct. When you do build a quiz with many branches it is exceptionally cool.
3. Do branching logic quizzes work with result redirect so I can send people to my own landing pages at the end?
Yes. You can turn on result redirect so that every result of your branching logic quiz goes to your own landing page. This is a very powerful pairing because you can fully control the experience once someone completes your quiz.
4. Where is my back button, my progress bar?
Unfortunately, when branching logic is enabled, the back button and progress bar aren’t available, and there isn’t a way to override that at this time.
This is because branching logic can dynamically change which questions appear based on previous answers, so allowing users to go backward could create inconsistencies in the quiz flow.
5. How do I turn off Branching Logic?
In your quiz dashboard, hit the three dots next to Branching Logic and hit Disable Logic to turn off Branching Logic
This is how it should appear when Branching Logic is disabled. Hit Publish to apply the changes to the live quiz.
