Trivia Question Generator

How many questions are there, and are the answers checked?

The bank holds 60 questions: 10 in each of Science, History, Geography, Pop Culture, Tech and Sports. The answers are written into the tool’s code and have not been independently verified here. Some are time-sensitive, such as the box-office record, social-media user numbers and the most-used web language, and may be out of date.

What happens if I ask for 15 questions in one category?

You get 10, because each category only has 10. The header line now reports the number actually shown. Only the Mixed option, with 60 questions, can supply a full 15.

How are questions chosen?

With Math.random: the tool shuffles a copy of the pool and takes the first 5, 10 or 15, so no question repeats within a quiz. It keeps no history, so a second quiz can overlap with the first. A 10-question quiz from a 10-question category is the whole category in a random order.

What is the difference between the two answer modes?

"Questions first, answers at end" prints the numbered questions, then a separate ANSWERS block. "Show with answers (study mode)" puts each answer directly under its question. Both include the short fact line where one exists, though not every question has one.

Can I choose the difficulty or avoid certain topics?

No. There is no difficulty setting and the questions are not graded. You can pick a category, and in Mixed mode each question shows its category in brackets so you can skip any you dislike.

Does the page score answers for me?

No. It produces a text list, with no timer, scoring or answer checking. For a quiz night, read the questions aloud and keep the answer block yourself.

Are the answers always a single right one?

Mostly, but a few are deliberately qualified. For example the longest river is listed as the Nile with a note that some say the Amazon, and the largest desert is Antarctica. Decide before the game how such answers will be judged.
