SurveyGizmo Goes Back to School. The Old School.

Posted by Filed in: Misc, SurveyGizmo News

80s

With the new school year just around the corner, we here at SurveyGizmo have been reminiscing about our own (old) schooldays. Chicken patties in the cafeteria, kickball out at recess, MASH on the bus.

You remember MASH, right? The totally awesome pencil-and-paper adventure that told your future? Remember the excitement when you discovered you would marry a famous movie star and the crushing disappointment that you would have 34 kids?

Well, now it’s back in true SurveyGizmo style and we didn’t just stop there.

What other childhood toys and games could we recreate using our tool? What could we do with some merge codes and randomization? Mad Libs™ and Magic 8 Ball, of course!

Magic 8 Ball – http://surveygizmo.magic8ball.sgizmo.com/

As we are all aware here, SurveyGizmo isn’t just for surveys. So what else can you do with such a powerful tool?

Common uses: quizzes, contact forms, polls, lead generation, contests, newsletters, and support forms
Not-so-common (but creative) uses: online lessons, landing pages, job applications, RSVPs, and online games

Sure, we’re serious about surveys, but we are also serious about thinking outside the box and having fun.

So take a few minutes and try out these old school games. When else are you going to have the opportunity to predict your future, have all your questions answers (as long as they are yes-or-no), or test your knowledge of the parts of speech?

Our intent is not to replace or compete with the originals, but we thought we’d take a SurveyGizmo stab at recreating them. Hey, isn’t imitation the highest form of flattery?
