A maze is a collection of unmoderated tasks and questions for testers to complete. Mazes are composed of separate blocks: missions (i.e. tasks), questions, and additional screens.
To get started, create a maze and build your new maze by adding blocks. You'll find all the block types on the right-side panel of the maze draft page.
The blocks include:
- Screener
- Prototype Test
- Live Website Test
- Live Mobile Test (Beta)
- Variant Comparison
- Open Question
- Simple Input
- Opinion Scale
- Multiple Choice
- Context Screen
- Yes/No
- Tree Test
- Card Sort
- 5-Second Test
- Legal Screen
If you're on a paid plan, you can also customize the Welcome Screen and the Thank You Screen.
