Thrive Quiz Builder, from Thrive Themes, is the lead-generation quiz funnel: quizzes that branch by answer, segment respondents, and capture leads with email opt-in gated results – the quiz mechanic built for marketing, not for classrooms. Every quiz is a funnel: questions branch into paths, results segment respondents into audience groups, and the opt-in gate converts quiz takers into subscribers before revealing their results.

The plugin’s identity is funnel discipline. Badges and social share images make results shareable – the viral loop quizzes live on; branching paths send respondents down segment-specific question routes; results pages segment respondents into audience groups for email follow-up; and analytics show where quiz takers drop off. For publishers and marketers who want quizzes to build lists instead of just entertaining, this is the funnel-first option.
