How do you bring the past to life? With an interactive quiz experience of course. That’s what the Natural History Museum of London did with this Dinosaur quiz. It’s a personalized journey through the world of dinosaurs that brings the past into the present and uses a brand of humor that I find extremely compelling.
The quiz has 11 questions and asks about all things human, but also dinosaur. It asks scenario-based questions that are related to real life but also have everything to do with dinosaurs. An amazing way to make history connected to current day.
They use incredible graphics to make the Dinosaur theme connect with current day, by personalizing dinosaurs as if they were decorating their own bedrooms. How could you not want to keep answering questions when this is how fun they are?
At the end of the 11 questions you are shown your dinosaur match. Then there’s a button to learn more about dinosaurs. Let me pause here real quick and set the scenario. Someone just spent about 3 minutes answering questions about dinosaurs to find their dinosaur type. Now you tell them what type of dinosaur they are and provide a fun and personalized result description for them. How could they not want to keep learning? Education is best when it is personal, and the Natural History Museum absolutely nailed it on that front.
I can’t say enough good things about this quiz experience. It’s a perfect way to bring history to life and also make a broad and expansive topic (dinosaurs) personal to every person who takes this quiz.
