How to make your own quiz

Everything starts in the editor, and getting there is quick. Head to qwizrush.com and sign in with Google — that single step ties every set you build to your account, so your work follows you to whatever device you host from later. There is nothing to install and hosting is free, so you can be creating your first question set within a minute of landing on the page.

Once you are signed in, create a new question set. This is the container for your whole quiz — every round, every question, and the scoring you tune later all live inside it. Give it a name you will recognise at a glance, because this is the set you will pick from when it is time to go live.

Rounds are how you give a quiz shape and pacing. Instead of one flat pile of questions, you group them into named blocks — think “Geography”, “90s Music”, or “Picture Round” — so the game moves through clear chapters. After each round, players see a per-question leaderboard and then the overall standings, so well-chosen rounds create natural moments of suspense and recovery.

Shaping the structure

• Add as many rounds as your event needs and name each one — the round title also feeds the AI helper later, so a descriptive name does double duty.
• Reorder rounds at any time to control the flow, for example opening with an easy warm-up and saving the hardest round for last.
• Reorder questions within a round just as freely, so you can ramp up difficulty or break up similar topics.

Nothing is locked in. The structure stays editable for the life of the set, so you can keep rearranging as the quiz takes shape or even right before you host it.

This is where the set fills up, and you have two ways to do it — use whichever fits how you work, and mix them freely within the same quiz. Every question lands as one of the three core types: multiple choice, letters (where players pick the first letter of the answer), or numbers. Song questions are a wrapper on top of those: a song is answered as multiple choice, letters, or numbers and graded exactly the same way.

Two ways to add questions

• By hand — write each question and its answer yourself for full control, choosing multiple-choice, first-letter, number, or song as you go.
• With the AI helper — generate a whole batch from a round title, then keep what works. Great for getting a draft round on the page fast.

Whatever the AI helper produces is fully editable — fix wording, swap an answer, or change the type before you ever go live.

Scoring is what makes the game feel fair and exciting, and you control its character. Set the points awarded per question type so a tricky number guess can be worth more than a quick multiple-choice, and shape the result to match the crowd in the room. On top of the base points, faster correct answers earn a timing bonus — the quickest right answers score highest — while wrong answers score zero.

Grading and the final scores are computed on the server, so the leaderboard stays consistent and fair for everyone regardless of which device or network a player is on.

With your set built, you are ready to run it. Open it from the host screen and you become the conductor of the loop: you push each question, every player gets the same synchronized 10-second countdown on their own phone, the clock hits zero, the answer is revealed, and scores update live before the next leaderboard. The clock is synced to the same instant across all devices, so no one is ahead or behind even on different networks.

Go big-screen (optional)

Players always answer on their own devices, but you can put the question and live scores on a TV or projector three ways: open the projector URL on a laptop or media stick wired to the screen, cast to a Chromecast-enabled TV from your host device, or open qwizrush.com/tv on a smart TV and enter the 6-digit code. The big screen is read-only and never shows your host controls.
