Make a quiz
No email, no password, no app to install.

How it works

  1. Make the quiz
    Name any theme and the questions are written for you, or make them from your own PDF, slides or a web page, or write every question yourself.
  2. Share the code
    Players open polemia.ai on any phone, tablet or laptop and type the short code, or scan the QR code. They are in.
  3. Play
    Run it from your phone, or show it on a TV or projector with big-screen mode while every phone becomes the answer buttons. Pause, skip ahead or hide the scores whenever you like.

What you get, free

  • No account for anyone. The host does not sign up and neither do the players.
  • Quizzes from your own material: a PDF of up to 100 pages, PowerPoint slides, a Word file or a link.
  • Two kinds of game: Fact, where there is one right answer, and Fun, where the answer most people pick wins.
  • Wolf mode: each player answers questions about themselves and everyone else guesses what they said.
  • A note for the host at the end of a fact game, listing the questions the room got most wrong.
  • A library of ready-made quizzes on every theme, free to play again.

Who it is for

Teachers who want a quiz on today’s lesson without asking thirty students to create logins. Tutors and lecturers. Teams at work. Families at the kitchen table, and hosts running a pub quiz or a party game.

Every quiz tool has its strengths, and the one that suits you depends on what you need. If what you need is a quiz on the screen in the next five minutes with nobody filling in a form, this is built for exactly that.

Private when you want it

Quizzes you write yourself, or make from your own files, are always private. A quiz made from a theme goes into the public library for others to play unless you tick the box to keep it out. Your own quizzes are saved on your device, ready to play again.
