How Points Work In a Mission

Written by Klaxoon.

TL;DR

In Klaxoon Missions, scores usually stay the same unless you use Quiz-only steps. Surveys and Memos always give everyone full points, so they don’t create competition. If you want ranked results, use Quiz questions for scoring, then add a Memo afterward to explain the answers and support learning.

Overview

In a Klaxoon Mission, points are designed to support learning and knowledge checks, not strong competition between participants. In most cases, participants earn the same points unless you use Quiz-only steps.

What Affects Participant Scores

Participants’ scores differ only when they answer Quiz-only questions and get different results.

If two participants complete the same Quiz questions with different answers, their scores will be different. If a Mission includes only activities that automatically award full points, participants will end with the same score.

Use Quiz-only steps if you want to create a ranked result.

Activities That Award Full Points

Some Mission activities automatically give all participants 100% of the points.

Survey

A Survey always gives every participant 100% of the points for that activity.

Use Surveys to collect feedback, opinions, or sentiment, not to test knowledge.

Memo

A Memo also gives every participant 100% of the points for that activity.

Use Memos to share information, explanations, or learning content.

Note: Surveys and Memos do not create score differences between participants.

Add Competition to a Mission

If you want to make a Mission more competitive, build it around Quiz-only steps.

Step 1: Add Quiz-only questions

Create a step that contains only Quiz questions.

For example:

  • Step 1: 5 Quiz questions

Participants’ scores will vary based on how many correct answers they give.

Step 2: Add a Memo to explain answers

After the Quiz step, add a Memo to review the correct answers.

For example:

  • Step 2: A 5-page Memo
  • Each page explains one answer from the Quiz step

This setup helps you do both:

  • Create score differences with Quiz questions
  • Reinforce learning with a MemoAdd Competition to a Mission.gif

Best Practice

If you want stronger competition in a Mission:

  • Use Quiz-only steps for scoring
  • Use Surveys for feedback
  • Use Memos for explanations and learning support
