Quick Form
Players fill in a host-built form once, and responses appear live on the big screen. How to set up a Quick Form.
Quick Form is a structured-response activity. Instead of answering a single question, players fill in a short form the host has built, with names, emails, teams, a comment, a choice from a dropdown, whatever you need, and submit it once. Every response appears live on the big screen, so it's great for sign-ups, intros, quick data-gathering, or any moment where you want tidy, labelled answers rather than a single guess.
How players experience it
- The player sees the form on their device, with each field the host added and its label.
- They fill in the fields. Depending on how you set them up, a field can be a short text box, a longer comment box, an email box, a number box, or a dropdown to pick from a list.
- Required fields are marked with a *; the player has to fill those in before they can submit.
- They tap Submit, and that's it. Quick Form is one submission per person, so once a response is sent it's locked in and they see a "Response sent!" confirmation.
As responses come in, the presenter screen builds a live wall of cards, one per participant, showing their name and each answer next to its label, with a running count of how many responses have landed so far.
Setting one up as a host
When you add a Quick Form to your Roo, you build the form itself:
- Give the form a title. This is the prompt at the top (it also shows on the player's device in self-paced mode, where there's no shared big screen).
- Add fields, one row each. For every field you set a label, choose its type (Short text, Long text, Email, Number, or Dropdown), and toggle whether it's required.
- For a Dropdown field, type the choices as a comma-separated list (for example
Product, Engineering, Design). - You can add up to 10 fields, and remove any you don't need (you'll always keep at least one).
There are no right or wrong answers and no scoring. Quick Form is about collecting responses, not grading them. Everything participants submit lands on the big screen and in your Results.
Tips
- Keep it short. A couple of well-chosen fields get filled far more reliably than a long form.
- Mark only what you truly need as required. The more required fields, the more friction.
- Use dropdowns for consistent data (teams, departments, options) so responses group cleanly on the wall instead of arriving in a dozen different spellings.
- Great for openers. A quick "name + one thing you're hoping to learn" makes a warm start to a session.
