HD Quiz is an
easy and intuitive quiz builder for WordPress. With HD Quiz, you can create an unlimited amount of quizzes and embed them anywhere on your site. We use both shortcodes as well as a custom Gutenberg block to make this as easy as possible for you.
The quizzes are fun, beautiful, highly customizable, accessible (visually impaired, screen readers etc), and automatically responsive. HD Quiz was designed so that
quizzes automatically inherit the fonts and styling of your theme - but you can still customize the styles yourself or purchase the HD Quiz Styler addon to really make the quizzes your own.
