Overview

Enigma is a Jeopardy-like multiple choice quiz tool. Questions are separated into categories. Unlike Jeopardy, every question in a row is given the same score weight.

Answers

Questions must have at least one 100% correct answer, but may have more than one answer choice marked correct. In addition, you can use the Set percentage option to assign a percentage score value for the corresponding answer choice.

If the Randomize Answer Order check box in the main screen is toggled on, then the order of answer choices within each question will be randomized every time a student plays this widget.

Hide Correct Answers

If this option is selected, the correct answer will not be provided on the score screen once a student completes the widget. By default, the score screen will display which answers were incorrect, along with the correct value for each question.

Feedback

Feedback is purely optional, but may be used to provide helpful information for incorrect answers or additional details for correct answers.
