Im facing problem while i'm trying to open file predstavitev.quiz file and i can't open it with Articulate Quizmaker STUDIO 360 program because it may have been created in an earlier version of QuizMaker.

Can someone please help me how to open this file, thanks.

  • Hi Mark,

    Sorry to hear about your project file. It looks like the file that you shared with us has become corrupted as it is now only 4 KB in size. 

    You can try checking your computer's temp folder to see if you have any working backups of your project file. Here's how: 

    1) Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Quizmaker

    2) Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the latest version to your desktop.

    3) Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.quiz.

    4) Double-click the file to open it in Quizmaker.

    For your reference, this article explains common causes of file corruption, as well as steps that you can take to minimize the risk of running into this issue.

      Hi Mark,

      You are most welcome!

      Regarding your inquiry, *.quiz file types are files that specifically open in Quizmaker 360. I'm not aware of any third-party application that can open these files, but if you were interested in taking a look at what's inside, you can open the *.quiz file using an archive tool like 7-zip or Winrar

      Let me know if you need anything else!
