Pin on Image Quiz is the scored version of Pin on Image: you mark the correct area on a picture, and players score by dropping their pin inside it. Use it when the answer is a place, such as a country on a map, a part of a diagram or a fire exit on a floor plan.

Create a Pin on Image Quiz slide

1

Add the slide

In the editor, click New slide and select Pin on Image Quiz from the Quiz section of the slide type picker. A Leaderboard slide is added after it, so you can show the scores straight away.
2

Write your question

Type your question in the Your question field in the Content panel. Name exactly what players should find, for example “Where is the nearest fire exit?”
3

Add your image

Click Add image under Image and upload or pick an image, just as on a Pin on Image slide. Choose a sharp image: players zoom in before they pin, and a blurry one makes small targets hard to find.
4

Draw the correct answer

Choose Rectangle or Ellipse in the toolbar above the image and drag over the area that counts as correct. A pin inside any shape you draw counts as correct, so you can draw several shapes for a question with more than one right answer.
5

Group shapes that make up one answer

When one answer needs more than one shape, such as an L-shaped room, choose Select several, tap each shape, then choose Group. The group shows in the Content panel as one answer under Correct answers.
6

Fine-tune a shape

Select a shape to edit it in the Content panel. Open Exact size and position to type its Position (Across and Down), Size (Width and Height) and Rotation. If a shape is very small, the editor warns that players will need to zoom in.
7

Set the points and timer

Set Points, Time limit and the other options in the Content panel (see Pin on Image Quiz settings).

Present a Pin on Image Quiz slide

Click Present and share the access code. Each player sees your image on their phone, zooms in with a pinch or the Zoom in button, and taps to drop a pin. They can drag the pin to adjust it, using the magnifier for precision, and then tap Confirm. A pin that is never confirmed does not count. Pins stay hidden on your screen while players answer. When the answers are revealed, your screen shows the correct areas, every pin, and how many players were Correct and Wrong. Use Zoom to answer to zoom in on the correct area, and Fit to see the whole image again. Each player’s phone shows whether their pin was correct and the points they earned.

Frequently asked questions

Can players move their pin after they confirm it?

No. Each player gets one pin, and the first confirmed pin is their answer.

Can I change the image or the answers after players have answered?

Not straight away. Once answers are in, the image and the correct answers are locked to keep scores fair. Click Reset results to unlock them. Replacing, cropping or removing the image also removes the answers you drew, because they were drawn for that image.

What is the difference between Pin on Image and Pin on Image Quiz?

Pin on Image is unscored: players can drop several pins and you see them appear live, with no right answer. Pin on Image Quiz has a correct area, gives points and feeds the leaderboard.

Does a pin on the edge of a shape count?

Yes. A pin anywhere inside a shape, including its edge, counts as correct. Have a question?
