How to Create a Quiz Game with AI

The quiz is a timeless format. Testing what people know, running a personality test, or just cracking a few jokes, the quiz is one of the easiest formats to build with AI, and one of the most shared once it's online.

What makes a good quiz game

Before you ask the AI for anything, think hard about the format you want. A trivia test? You'll need a score, a right or wrong indicator, maybe a timer. A personality test? A set of results mapped to answers so the final verdict makes sense.

Be clear about the goal of your quiz first, then pick the format that fits it.

The prompt to copy to build your quiz

This base asks for the right format up front, one self-contained HTML file, with questions you customize to your theme.

Build a quiz game in a single self-contained HTML file (HTML, CSS and JS all in the same document, no external resources, no libraries to download). 9:16 portrait format, playable with touch and mouse. The quiz asks a series of 10 multiple choice questions on this theme: [your theme, for example "90s cinema"]. After each answer, immediately show whether it was right or wrong, with a short explanation. The score sits at the top and goes up with each correct answer. At the end, show a result screen with the final score out of 10, a message that changes with the score, and a "Play Again" button. Take care with the transitions between questions and the small feedback animations.

In seconds you get a playable quiz on the theme of your choice. Try it, then move on to the step that really makes the difference. For the general method behind this kind of prompt, see our guide on creating a game with ai.

Iterating to make your quiz irresistible

The first draft works, but a good quiz gets polished. In the same conversation, chain these requests:

More questions. "Add 10 more questions on the same theme, with increasing difficulty."
The feel. "Add a progress bar at the top, a confetti animation on a perfect score, and a slightly different visual effect for a right and a wrong answer."
Sharing. "On the result screen, show a message like 'You're a [theme] expert' or 'Keep trying' depending on the score, worded so people want to show it to a friend."
Mobile. "Make sure the answer buttons are big enough for touch and that nothing overflows on a small screen."

Choosing a theme people want to play

The theme decides whether your quiz is forgotten or shared a hundred times. The ones that work best touch a shared culture (films, series, music, sport, video games), something current (the year that just ended, an event of the moment), or a precise niche you know well (your city, your company, your class, your passion). The more the theme speaks to a specific crowd, the more that crowd wants to test their score and challenge their friends.

You can also turn a trivia quiz into a personality test: replace right and wrong answers with profiles ("What kind of traveler are you?"), and ask the AI to adapt the scoring logic. The format is identical, and the sharing effect is often even stronger. For another format that's just as shareable, see our guide on creating a 2048 style puzzle with ai.

Publishing your quiz online

Whatever your theme, you end up with a self-contained HTML file. That's exactly what Hoora expects.

The quiz is one of the most naturally shared formats: people love comparing scores, which makes it an excellent way to test an idea on a real audience. To go further on publishing, see our guide on publishing your ai creations.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need to code to build a quiz with AI? No. The prompt above is enough to get a playable quiz on the theme of your choice. You copy, you paste, you get the file.
Which AI should you use? ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Mistral all do the job. The result depends far more on prompt precision and iterations than on the model.
How do you pick a good theme? Go for a subject your audience already knows (pop culture, current events, a shared passion) or a niche you know inside out.
Can I turn my quiz into a personality test? Yes. Describe the idea to the AI (profiles instead of right and wrong answers) and it adapts the scoring logic while keeping the same structure.
How many questions should there be? Between 8 and 15 is a good marker: enough for a meaningful result, short enough to play in one sitting.
Where do I publish my quiz once it's built? On the Hoora website, through the "Import" button. It becomes playable by the community, with no hosting and no setup.

A good quiz takes minutes to build and can keep your friends busy for hours. Generate yours, polish it, and see who lands the perfect score.
