A Free Live Quiz Maker for Classrooms, Teams & Events

What a live quiz maker actually needs

A quiz feels “live” only when three things are true at once: everyone sees the same question at the same moment, answers land on the host’s screen as they happen, and the reveal creates a shared reaction in the room. Most tools nail one and fumble the other two. Quizzard was built specifically to make all three feel smooth, whether players are sitting next to each other in a classroom or scattered across a Zoom call.

Under the hood, the host controls the pace — you push each question when the room is ready, run a countdown, and then reveal the correct answer with a per-player “Correct! +820” or “Wrong” card. Between rounds, the top ten leaderboard animates as players climb or fall, complete with delta chips showing the biggest movers. It’s the same beat Kahoot and Mentimeter popularised, rebuilt to run for free with no artificial player caps on the questions themselves.

Features hosts ask for most

Bulk Excel import. Paste hundreds of questions from a spreadsheet, download the XLSX template, and Quizzard validates each row inline before importing. No re-typing question banks.

Sections with cover images. Group questions into named rounds — perfect for pub trivia (Movies / Music / Sports) or training (Compliance / Product / Sales). Each section can carry its own thumbnail.

Speed-based scoring. Correct answers score more when they arrive faster, so the leaderboard rewards knowledge and reflex. Wrong answers score zero — never negative — so beginners still feel welcome.

Persistent player identity. Signed-in players carry their nickname, avatar, medals, and streaks across sessions. Great for recurring classes, weekly team huddles, or league-style events.

Session analytics. Every game is saved with a drill-down view: per-question accuracy, average response time, and the final leaderboard exportable as an Excel file.

Guest join with duplicate-name protection. Players enter a nickname plus a short identifier (like a class roll number or last-4 employee code) so two “Alex”s on the leaderboard don’t confuse the host.

Who uses a live quiz maker

Teachers use live quizzes as formative assessment — a five-minute check at the end of a lesson tells you what to reteach tomorrow, without the grading burden of a paper test.

Trainers and L&D teams break up long workshop days with knowledge-check rounds. Speed scoring keeps people alert; section thumbnails let you cover multiple modules in one game.

Marketing and community teams run trivia at webinars, product launches, and conference booths to collect attention (and email addresses via optional sign-in).

Friends and families use Quizzard for game nights, birthday parties, and weddings — the QR poster on a big screen turns any TV into a game show.
