Audio clips in quizzes

Submitted by TheSkiDY on September 2, 2025
Hi there, I wanted to created a quiz where the player will guess an answer based on a short audio clip. Normally, when people do this kind of thing they typically attach a YouTube video link in the description and the hints are the video's timestamps of when each clue is played. The need of using an external website to play a Jetpunk quiz seems really annoying from a user's perspective, so I was looking for a way to play audio clips directly from the site.

Jetpunk allows replacing built-in "hint" cells with a basic text that accepts HTML formatting. Previously I had no issue with using this feature to embed images in each cell using the "img" tag. This resulted in a much more flexible and customizable "Picture" style quiz with all the pros of a "Text" quiz. I tried to apply the same logic with the "audio" tag but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. It shows as a working audio clip in the editor but whenever I generate the preview quiz to actually try it out, the audio tag gets voided. The same happens if the editor is refreshed - the HTML element disappears from the cell text input box.

Does anybody have experience with creating quizzes with more complex HTML elements and worked this out? Or is there any other way I can embed a short audio file (linked from an external URL of course) on the site?

Any help is appreciated.

I'm pretty sure its not possible to do it anymore. It used to be possible though. Maybe someday it'll be brought back. If its brought back, I'd assume it would be for a new audio quiz mode.

There is exactly (1) quiz with audio. After that, QM disabled the possibility use it in other quizzes.

If I had to guess, audio clips are not worth the risk of inappropriate/copyrighted content. Plus, the file size of the clips might be too large to be worth hosting. JetPunk doesn't use audio for the site in general; there isn't a little ding noise when you get a question right or when you ace a quiz. Seems unlikely that audio will ever be implemented.

Yeah I had to create a youtube video and hyperlink it to make my music guess the song quizzes, its not too bad as an alternative I think though
