The Open-ended poll in Pigeonhole Live is designed for collecting unrestricted, free-form text responses from your audience. This feature moves beyond simple multiple-choice to facilitate dynamic brainstorming, in-depth feedback collection, and democratic discussions.
The real differentiator is that after participants submit their ideas, you can allow the entire audience to vote and comment on those entries. This instantly surfaces the best ideas and transforms your session into a collaborative experience.
Key Benefits:
- Crowdsource Ideas: Get original, unfiltered content and suggestions.
- Prioritize Democratically: Use voting to quickly identify the most valuable submissions.
- Boost Engagement: Encourage interaction and discussion around peer-submitted content.
