Last reviewed: 31 August 2026

PollSpark has 11 question types. Pick the one that matches the kind of answer you want from the group.

Choose the question type that fits the answer you need, then keep the wording simple.

The 11 question types

Live and Survey

Most question types work in both Live and Survey. Before & After is Live-only because the presenter controls when the group answers the Before and After phases.

After people start responding

Once a question receives its first response, PollSpark locks the parts of the question that could change the meaning of the results. Clearing responses does not unlock the question.

Q&A

Q&A is a separate Live-session feature. It is not one of the 11 question types.
