Making a trivia game without buying a template

If you are figuring out how to make a trivia game for free, the fastest route is to start from questions you already have, such as lecture slides or a chapter summary.

Pick a topic your group already knows, like a course unit or a shared hobby.
Check every generated answer before the game, since a quiz is only as good as its source.
Mix easy and hard questions so players of different levels stay in the round.
Keep the explanations, because they settle disputes faster than arguing over the answer key.

Example trivia questions for a general knowledge round

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. Sydney is larger, but Canberra was chosen as a compromise between Sydney and Melbourne.

Which element has the chemical symbol Fe?Iron. The symbol comes from the Latin word ferrum.

Which gas makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere?Nitrogen. Oxygen makes up about 21%, the second largest share.

In what year was the first FIFA World Cup held?1930, in Uruguay. Uruguay also won that tournament.

Questions from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the questions come from that content.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer

Mix question types in one set, each with an explanation that shows why the answer is right.

Free to start, no card needed

The free plan gives you 3 generations a month and browser study. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus.

How it works

Add your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate your set.

Play and check answers

Study the questions in your browser, with an explanation after each answer.

Trivia works best when each question has one clear answer and a short reason behind it. Writing those by hand can take an entire evening for a single round, but an AI quiz generator can draft the questions from your source file so you spend your time checking them instead.

The free plan covers three generations a month and studying in the browser. If you want to save the set as a PDF, DOCX or Anki deck, exports are part of the paid Plus plan at $39 a year or $7.99 a month.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a trivia round have?

What makes a good trivia question?

Is the free plan enough to make a trivia game?

It is enough for a few rounds, since the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Saving the set as a PDF or DOCX requires the Plus plan.

Which formats can I export my trivia questions to?

Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. Exports are not included on the free plan.
