Scoring a card selection ‘game’ - solving an old post in the Typeform Community

Posted 11/3/2026

The original post is: “Hi there,

I am designing a simple card selection exercise, by which the user would select three (3) cards from a selection fo about 20. Based on the aggregate score, we can provide a description of the category in which the person’s score ended up and some recommendations for improvement.

My questions:

Question 1: How can I associate a score with a card being selected? Would presenting a questions for their selected card 1 vs. 2 vs. 3 assist in this? and where could I then find this score associated with the individual image?

Question 2: How could I use a variable to accumulate the aggregate score, based on the 3 cards they selected? “

 

It slipped through getting an answer for 3 years so I thought I would give it a quick walk-through. Better latte than never. 

What my ‘solution quiz’ does: 

  • Has 10 cards in picture choice (yeah it’s hard to read but this is to demo the point of using cards) 

  • Each card is assigned a point value from 1to 3 and the point value is added to a variable (coffee score) - assigned in the Calculation rules

  • Three categories - 1-4, 5-7, 8+ points - each one pointing to a different ending using the logic

  • The Branching rules route the user to the appropriate ending based on the evaluation of the coffee score variable

Here’s my ‘sample’ of a solution: the typeform

 

And here’sa wee loom video of the back end of the solution.
