Publishing Your Quiz

Once you have built and saved your quiz in the Quiz Maker, you can publish it publicly or keep it private. A published quiz appears in search results, category pages, and can be shared via a direct link.

Open your quiz in the editor.
Click Publish in the top-right corner.
Choose Public (anyone can find and play it) or Unlisted (only players with the direct link can access it).
Click Confirm. Your quiz is now live.

Unlisted quizzes are perfect for classrooms, team events, and private quiz nights. Share the link directly with participants - it will not appear in public search results.

Sharing Options

Direct link

Every quiz has a permanent URL in the format doquizzes.com/quiz/your-quiz-slug/. Copy this link from your browser or the quiz's share panel and send it anywhere.

Social media

DoQuizzes generates Open Graph metadata for every published quiz - this means when you paste the link into Twitter/X, Facebook, Reddit, or WhatsApp, a rich preview card appears automatically with your quiz title, description, and thumbnail.

Multiplayer live link

For live quiz nights, use Multiplayer mode. Create a room, share the room code with participants, and play together in real time. See the Multiplayer guide for full details.

How to Get More Plays

Write a strong title

Quiz titles with numbers ("Can You Name All 50 US State Capitals?") or clear topic keywords ("Premier League 2024 Season Quiz") perform significantly better in search than vague titles ("Football Quiz #3"). Be specific about what the quiz tests.

Assign the right category

Players browse quizzes by category. A geography quiz in the "Sports" category will be invisible to its target audience. Assign the most accurate primary category when publishing.

Share at the right time

Quizzes get the most plays in the first 48 hours after publishing. Share on social media immediately after publishing, not days later. For seasonal topics, publish 1-2 days before the relevant date.

Write a good description

The quiz description appears in search results and social share previews. Write 1-2 sentences that tell players exactly what they will be tested on and why it will be challenging or fun. Avoid generic descriptions like "A fun quiz about history."

Link to related quizzes

If you have created multiple quizzes on related topics, players who enjoyed one are likely to play another. Mention your other quizzes in the description or share them together in a themed set.
