The big idea
AI is amazing at making quizzes. Make one for friends about your favorite show. Make one for family about pop culture. Make one for yourself to study. Endless quiz fun.
Some examples
- 'Make a 10-question quiz about Harry Potter (medium difficulty).'
- 'Make a quiz about my family — I will tell you facts to use.'
- 'Make me a study quiz from these notes.'
- 'Make a 'guess the song from the lyrics' quiz.'
Try it!
Make a quiz for your family. Have a quiz night. Notice how fun it is.
Making quizzes that are actually fun to take
A great quiz isn't just questions with one right answer — it has good wrong answers too. The wrong answers in a multiple choice question are called distractors, and making them good is an art. Distractors should be plausible — things someone might genuinely believe if they half-know the topic. 'What color is the sky? A) Blue B) Cheese C) Tuesday D) Yes' is a terrible quiz because the wrong answers are obviously wrong. AI is very good at writing smart distractors when you ask for them. Try: 'Write a 5-question quiz about the American Revolution with tricky multiple-choice distractors — things that sound like they could be right.' You can also ask AI to vary the difficulty: 'Make questions 1-3 easy, 4-7 medium, and 8-10 hard.' This mixture keeps quiz-takers engaged instead of either bored or overwhelmed.
- Ask for good distractors: 'Write 4 answer choices where 3 are plausible but wrong'
- Mix difficulty: specify easy, medium, and hard question counts
- Add an explanation: 'After each question, add a one-sentence explanation of the answer'
- Make it a game: ask AI to add bonus points questions or timed rounds
