Albert questions are different ways of your staff answering multiple choice questions about your business to test and improve their knowledge.
What are the different game types?
Whack-a-Mole - tap the moles holding up the correct answer, but you need to be quick before they disappear!
Shootout - aim the ball at the correct answer and score a goal! ⚽🎉
Catapult - pull the arm of the catapult back to the correct answer:
Standard (Alberts Lab) - This question type does not involve a game. The question is presented on the screen and you have to tap the correct answer
The Claw - press A, B, or C and see the grabber move, it’ll try and pick up the prize, grabbing it if you got it right. 🕹
Penny Pusher - at the top of the screen there are three slots with the answers, and you pick which slot A, B, or C to put the coin in. If you get the answer right watch the coins fall down and gain your XP! 🪙
How do I add questions?
Each question will need to be assigned to a round. New Albert questions are made available to your staff each day so each round represents a day.
The easiest thing to do is to create your questions when creating each day's round. However you can create a catalogue of questions first then search through a list of existing questions in order to add questions to rounds.
How do I add questions not assigned to a round?
This option is useful if you want to create a backlog of questions for future use and are not sure which rounds they will be added to yet. When you tap Publish they will not be displayed in Albert. Only questions in rounds will be used.

Select the date for which you would like to answer the questions, then select a question to begin
Answer all 3 questions at once or if you are short on time, you can come back and answer ones you have missed at a later date
