How to make and share a quiz about yourself
Write four to six true facts, turn them into five questions, and share one link on WhatsApp. Friends enter a name or nickname and play without an account. Here is what to write, how to send it and how to compare scores.
Made from your answers
Find out who knows you best
- Write your answers. Add four to six true things about yourself, from your usual order to a favourite memory.
- Send your quiz. We turn your answers into five questions. Friends open one link, with no account needed.
- Compare scores. See who remembered the details, then ask a friend to make their own.
Anyone with the link can play. Your personal quiz is never listed or searchable.
For a separate warm-up, play The General Knowledge Gauntlet.
From your first fact to the group chat
Step 1
Open the personal quiz maker
Choose Me and enter your first name. Pick the occasion and keep the suggested host or choose another. For a partner challenge, the couples quiz guide opens the version designed for swapping roles.
Step 2
Write four to six true facts
Use complete sentences with one clear answer each. Write what you want your friends to guess, rather than asking the AI to guess it. The maker screens the facts and builds questions only from what you supply.
Step 3
Make the quiz and check it
Press Write my quiz. The ready screen shows the first question and a Play it first link. Try the quiz before sending it. If a detail is wrong, make another with a clearer fact; do not send a question you cannot confidently answer.
Step 4
Send one link
Use Send to a group to open WhatsApp's chat picker, choose your group or contact, review the message and send it there. This button does not send a message automatically. The main Send button uses your device's share options, or copies the link when sharing is unavailable.
Step 5
Compare scores and swap
Friends open the link, enter a name or nickname, and answer five questions. The results show their score and the quiz's leaderboard. They can share their score or choose Make your own so you can play theirs.
Fictional examples — replace these with your answers
Five example facts to show the level of detail
Food
My favourite takeaway is mushroom pizza.
Film
My favourite film is The Princess Bride.
A small habit
I always choose the window seat on a train.
A hobby
I spend Sunday mornings painting watercolours.
A wish
The next place I want to visit is Norway.
Make the answers guessable and fair
Specific facts give the quiz a clear answer. 'I like music' leaves too much open; 'My go-to karaoke song is Dancing Queen' gives your friends something to remember. Mix a couple of easy favourites with one detail that might surprise them.
For ideas, use the how well do you know me question list. Answer a few yourself before putting those facts into the maker. For a quiz about someone else, ask for details they are happy to share. Keep sensitive information, addresses and private stories out.
The quiz is unlisted and excluded from search indexing. Anyone who receives its link can open it, and players' typed names and scores appear to others who play. Use first names or nicknames and send it to people you intend to invite.
Three invitations you can adapt
Friends
I made five questions about me. I think you can get at least three. Play this, then make one for me.
Couples
Five little things about me. Let's both make one and compare what we remember.
Family
Who remembers my favourite food and my usual habits? Five questions, then it's someone else's turn.
Share the result with the score card
After the last question, use the result screen's Share button or Send to the group. These links carry the score, so someone opening them sees the challenge. On supported phones, the native share option can include an image card; on other devices it shares the link or copies it. The receiving app decides how the preview appears.
For Pinterest or another image-sharing app, use a finished result link if you want the score in the preview. Check the picture and destination before posting. A public post also makes the quiz link available to its readers, so only post a quiz whose contents you are comfortable sharing that widely.
Sharing questions
Do my friends need to sign up?
No account is needed to play. Friends enter a name or nickname so their score can appear on the quiz's leaderboard.
What if WhatsApp does not open?
Use the main Send button and choose Copy if your device offers it. If the browser cannot share or copy, Trivana shows the link so you can select it manually. Paste that link into WhatsApp yourself.
Can I send it to more than one group?
Yes. The same link opens the same quiz. Everyone playing that quiz shares its leaderboard, so make separate quizzes if you want separate groups.
Does closing the share sheet send anything?
No. A cancelled share leaves the link available. You choose the destination and complete the send inside the receiving app.
Can I make this for a wedding?
Yes. Use the Newlywed Game guide for partners, or who knows the bride best for a quiz made from answers the bride supplies.
Make the quiz your friends will argue over
Start with five true things about you. Make the questions, play them through, then send one link and see who remembers.
