How to Create an Online Quiz for Free

You do not need special software, a paid plan or an account to build a good quiz. With the free quiz maker on Quizzez you can go from an idea to a playable quiz in a few minutes, right in your browser. This guide walks through the whole process and shares the habits that make a quiz genuinely useful.

1. Decide what the quiz is for

Every strong quiz starts with a purpose. Are you revising for a test, checking whether a class understood yesterday's lesson, or hosting a fun trivia night? The purpose decides how hard the questions should be and how many you need.

• Revision quizzes work best with 10–20 focused questions on one topic.
• Quick checks after a lesson can be just 3–5 questions.
• Trivia quizzes are more fun when they mix topics and include a few surprising facts.

2. Open the quiz maker

The quiz maker sits at the very top of the Quizzez homepage and on the dedicated Quiz Maker page. Type a quiz title, add an optional description, then choose the question type (multiple choice or true/false), the number of questions and a category.

Choosing the number of questions immediately creates that many editable question slots. You can always add or remove questions later with the Add Question button or the remove control on each question.

3. Write your questions and answer options

For each question, type the question text and fill in two to four answer options. Then click the circle next to the option that is correct. A green marker shows which answer you selected.

A few rules keep questions fair:

• Ask one thing per question. Avoid "and" questions that test two facts at once.
• Keep every option a similar length so the correct answer does not stand out.
• Make wrong options believable. They should reflect common mistakes, not silly guesses.
• Avoid "all of the above" unless it truly adds value.

Our guide on how to create multiple choice questions goes deeper on writing good distractors.

4. Add short explanations

Each question has an optional explanation field. Explanations appear in the answer review after the quiz is submitted, so a player who gets a question wrong learns why. One clear sentence is usually enough.

5. Choose your quiz settings

Open Quiz settings to turn on two options:

• Shuffle question order gives each attempt a different sequence, which helps with repeated practice.
• Show the correct answer after each question switches the quiz to instant feedback mode, which works well for learning and younger players.

6. Create, play and share

Press Create Quiz Now. The maker checks that every question has text, every option is filled in, no two options are identical and a correct answer is selected. If something is missing, it lists the problem and takes you straight to the right question.

Once the quiz passes, it is saved in your browser and you can start it immediately. You can also share it: Quizzez creates a link that contains the whole quiz, so anyone who opens it can play, with nothing uploaded to a server. Saved quizzes live on the My Saved Quizzes page, where you can edit, export or delete them.

Good to know: saved quizzes stay in the browser and on the device where you created them. Clearing your browser data removes them, so export important quizzes as a JSON file for safekeeping.

Quick checklist before you share

1. Read every question aloud. Is it clear and unambiguous?
2. Check that exactly one answer is correct for each question.
3. Play the quiz once yourself and look at the review screen.
4. Fix any typos with the Edit option, then share the link.
