Kiosk Mode

Re-show the onboarding flow every session for shared devices and in-lab setups.

Kiosk mode is an onboarding setting that re-shows the full onboarding flow every session, even for participants who have already joined the quest. It’s designed for shared devices where multiple people use the same browser or app.

Default Behavior (Kiosk Off)

When kiosk mode is disabled (the default):

1. A participant opens the quest URL for the first time → sees onboarding → joins the quest
2. The same participant opens the quest URL again → skips onboarding → goes directly to quest content

Kiosk Behavior (Kiosk On)

When kiosk mode is enabled:

1. A participant opens the quest URL → sees onboarding → joins the quest
2. The same participant (or a different person on the same device) opens the quest URL again → sees onboarding again → must complete the overview acknowledgment and questions every time

When to Use Kiosk Mode

Scenario	Why
Lab computers shared by multiple participants	Each participant needs to see the consent form and answer screening questions
Conference or event demo stations	Walk-up stations where different people try the quest
Clinical settings with shared tablets	Patients use the same device in a waiting room or clinic
Classroom studies	Students share computers in a lab setting

How to Enable

1. Open your quest in the editor
2. Navigate to the onboarding section
3. Toggle Kiosk Mode on

The setting is stored in onboardingConfig.isKiosk.

Important Notes

Kiosk mode only affects the onboarding flow. It does not log out the user or reset other session state. If you need full session isolation on shared devices, consider additional measures like browser private/incognito mode.

• The full-text overview (if configured) is re-shown with the acknowledgment checkbox
• All onboarding questions (if any) are re-shown and must be answered again
• Question guard validation runs again every session
• Onboarding responses are saved as a new dataset entry each time
