Advent calendar quiz: day 1

This advent calendar quiz opens a new door every day until 24 December: one question, one answer and a chance to win the gift of the day. Day 1 asks where the Advent calendar tradition comes from, and every participant who answers correctly can enter your prize draw.

What is an advent calendar quiz for?

It turns the weeks before Christmas into a daily appointment with your audience. Participants give their first name and email, answer the question of the day, then read the game rules and the reminder about the next doors. Because the quiz is scored with a passing threshold of one point, you instantly know who answered correctly. Duplicate the template for each day to build a complete online advent calendar with 24 Christmas quiz questions, and give your subscribers a reason to come back every morning.

Who is it for?

• Retailers and e-shops running a Christmas campaign
• Brands that want to grow their newsletter audience in December
• Associations, libraries and tourist offices animating their community
• Companies organising a fun internal advent quiz for employees
