General Knowledge Quiz Template
A general knowledge check where six questions from capitals to chemistry grade themselves, file every attempt, and return tiered verdicts out of the box.
Six questions across geography, science, history, and language. No trick questions, no time limit: just you against the facts.
General knowledge is the friendliest genre of quiz because nobody is supposed to be an expert: a geography question, then chemistry, then history, then language, and everyone at the table gets at least one moment of feeling sharp. This template packages that genre into a six-question, self-grading form. Logic rules check the answers the instant someone submits, the score lands in the result headline, and every attempt files itself into your responses view.
How six answers become a tier. Each question carries one rule watching for its correct option: choose Canberra and a point lands on the score variable, choose Sydney and nothing happens. Three tier rules then read the final number: five or better earns the Encyclopedic ending, three or four is Well Read, two or under gets the encouraging Curious verdict. All nine rules sit in the Logic panel in plain sight, which makes this template double as the best tutorial on scored forms you can clone.
Six settled facts, and two kinds left out. Each question is a settled, single-answer fact, the kind that ends arguments instead of starting them. Canberra is the classic misdirection question (two famous cities, neither correct), the hexagon and photosynthesis questions reward paying attention in school, 1989 anchors the history slot with a date that matters, mercury is the science fact everyone half-remembers, and Mandarin closes with a statistic that surprises people who guess English. Difficulty climbs on purpose from question to question, so most players land in the middle tier and the endings above and below both feel earned. Two kinds of question stay out. True-or-false items grade a coin flip as competence, and "longest river" or "largest desert" questions invite dispute, since a self-grading quiz must never mark a defensible answer wrong. Six questions instead of twenty keeps the run under two minutes, the length at which people finish and forward instead of abandoning it.
Who runs it, and swapping your own in. Teachers run a Friday warm-up with a real score at the end, workplace social committees seed the #random channel, pub quiz hosts audition questions before the live night, and newsletter writers chase a measurable spike in click-throughs. To make it yours, swap any question by editing its options and re-pointing its rule at the new correct answer, one rule per question, so there is no archaeology. Keep the tier thresholds proportional if you change the question count (roughly 80 percent for the top tier, 50 for the middle). Duplicate prevention in Settings stops score-chasers from grinding attempts, and the CSV export makes a tidy record for a classroom checkpoint. Embedding works both ways: the inline variant sits on a newsletter landing page, while the popup makes a neat "test yourself" button.
Frequently asked questions
Is the score visible to the person taking the quiz?
The final screen pipes the computed score into the headline and the tier copy matches it, so feedback is instant without you touching anything.
How do I make the quiz harder or easier?
Swap questions and adjust the tier thresholds in the Logic panel. The wiring pattern stays identical: one scoring rule per question, three range rules for the endings.
Can people retake it to improve their score?
Your call: leave it open for retries, or switch on duplicate prevention in Settings to hold everyone to a single attempt per device or IP.
Where do I see everyone's results?
The responses view lists each attempt with its answers, and the CSV export includes every column, handy for a class register or an office leaderboard.
