Frequently asked questions

How do I write good quiz questions about video game history?

Start with a timeline of key releases, consoles, and studios, then ask about one fact per question, such as the year a console launched or who designed a famous character. Avoid questions with two correct parts, because they are hard to score fairly.

How many questions should a video game quiz include?

Ten to twenty questions works well for one chapter or game guide, and a longer source can be split into several shorter sets. Smaller sets are easier to review and repeat.

Can I export my video game quiz book?

Yes. PDF and DOCX export is included on Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export is on Pro at $14.99/month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you can start without a credit card.
