How to Create Your Own Quiz on helloquiz.app

Updated

You can start creating a quiz on helloquiz.app from the homepage, where a create your own option sits alongside searching for a quiz and playing a random quiz. The site is built for geography quizzes — its library spans country maps, regional subdivisions, phone codes, post codes, road numbers, writing systems, and city quizzes — so your own quiz will fit most naturally if it is built around a map or a geography-related topic. A free account is the other piece worth knowing about: according to the site, a free account unlocks Anki-like learning features, quiz remixing, and statistics tracking.

Before You Start

  • Pick a topic with a clear answer set. The featured quizzes show the pattern: a defined region plus a defined category, such as "Germany subdivisions (lvl2): Landkreise / districts" or "Brazil phone codes (2 digits)." Deciding both up front keeps the quiz consistent.
  • Decide between building from scratch and remixing. The homepage explicitly offers remixing quizzes as an option, which is the faster route if an existing quiz is close to what you want.
  • Have an account if you want to keep and track your work. The site describes Anki-like features, remixing, and statistics as free-account capabilities, so signing in before you invest time in a quiz is the safer order.

Step-by-Step: Creating a Quiz

  1. Go to the helloquiz.app homepage. The welcome text lists the main actions: check out featured quizzes, search for a quiz, play a random quiz, or create your own.
  2. Choose "create your own." This is the entry point for authoring a new quiz rather than playing one.
  3. Define the quiz around a map or geography subject. Use the site's existing categories as a model — subdivisions, phone codes, post codes, road numbers, writing systems, cities, national parks, or Geoguessr-style metas. Matching an established category means your quiz sits alongside content players already browse.
  4. Add your questions and answers. The site reports over 1.25 million total questions across its quizzes, so the format is question-by-question rather than a single block of text.
  5. Save and test it. Play through your own quiz the way a visitor would, checking that each prompt has one unambiguous answer.
  6. Track it from your account. With a free account, statistics tracking lets you see how your quiz performs and how players answer.

Alternative: Start by Remixing

If you find an existing quiz that is almost right — say, a subdivisions quiz for one country when you want a neighbouring one — remixing lets you use it as a starting point instead of rebuilding the structure. This is usually the fastest path when your topic already exists in a similar form somewhere in the library of 11.7k playable quizzes.

What to Check After Publishing

  • Answer uniqueness. Geography quizzes break when two places share a name or a code. Test edge cases before sharing.
  • Category fit. Placing your quiz in the right category (subdivisions, phone codes, and so on) is what makes it discoverable to the players browsing that section.
  • Your statistics. If you are using the quiz to learn as well as to publish, the Anki-like features and statistics in a free account are the tools for reviewing your own progress.

Common Sticking Points

  • Assuming creation requires payment. The site's materials describe account features without listing prices or payment requirements; check the account page itself for current terms rather than assuming either way.
  • Choosing a topic too broad. "All world geography" is harder to make playable than "provinces of one country" — the featured quizzes are deliberately narrow.
  • Skipping the test play. A quiz that looks correct in the editor can still have ambiguous prompts once someone else plays it.

If your goal is simply to play rather than author, the homepage's search and random-quiz options cover that; creation and remixing are the paths for contributing your own material.
