Quiz maker: create a quiz and share it by link
Enter a title, add questions and mark the right answer. “Test quiz” lets you play it yourself; “Create link” gives you a link to send by WhatsApp, email or chat. Anyone who opens the link plays the quiz and gets a score.
How it is calculated
How to make a quiz
- Enter a title, e.g. “Birthday quiz” or “Spelling test, unit 3”.
- Add questions: multiple choice with 2 to 6 answers, or true or false. Mark the correct answer with the circle in front of it.
- Test quiz plays it through once so you can check everything.
- Create link gives you a link to copy or send on WhatsApp.
Up to 50 questions per quiz, questions up to 300 and answers up to 150 characters. When playing, multiple-choice answers are shuffled so the right one is not always in the same place.
How can sharing work without a server?
We do not store your quiz. The whole quiz lives in the link, in the part after the # (the fragment). Under the URI standard (RFC 3986, section 3.5) that part is handled by the browser only and is not sent to the server when the page loads – so it never appears in server logs.
To keep the link short, the browser compresses the quiz with Deflate (CompressionStream) and turns it into URL-safe characters (base64url, RFC 4648). Older browsers without compression create a longer, uncompressed link. Links over 8,000 characters are refused: that is the minimum length the HTTP standard (RFC 9110) recommends every program should handle.
Good to know
- The answers are inside the link. Someone with technical know-how can read them from it. That is fine for fun quizzes, revision and parties – not for graded tests.
- Your draft stays in this browser (localStorage) until you choose “New quiz” or clear site data.
- If you change the quiz, create a new link – old links show the old version.
Example: A birthday quiz with 12 questions – 8 multiple choice with 4 answers each and 4 true or false. A player who gets 9 right sees “9 of 12 correct (75%)” at the end, plus the 3 missed questions with the right answer.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make a quiz for free without signing up?
Yes. There is no account and no sign-up. The quiz is built in your browser and stored entirely in the link.
How do I share my quiz?
Tap “Create link”, then copy the link or send it on WhatsApp. Whoever opens it sees the title and number of questions and starts the quiz.
Can I see the other players’ scores?
No. Everyone plays on their own; the score is only shown in their browser and is not collected anywhere. To compare, players can simply send you their result.
How many questions can a quiz have?
Up to 50. Very long questions and answers make the link longer; above 8,000 characters you will be asked to shorten or split the quiz.
Can I edit a quiz someone sent me?
Yes: “Edit as a template” loads it into the editor. Then create a new link; the original link stays as it was.
Is it suitable for exams?
Only to a limited extent. The correct answers are contained in the link and can be read out with some technical knowledge. It works well for practice, warm-ups, birthdays and team events.
