How to Create a Trivia Game for Your Website
What Makes Trivia Different From a Quiz
Quizzes and trivia games share the same question-and-answer format, but they serve different purposes. A quiz typically assesses the visitor and produces a result about them, like a score or recommendation. Trivia is designed as entertainment, testing general knowledge on a topic for fun. Trivia games also work well as recurring daily content, where visitors return each day for a new set of questions.
The Web Builder app uses the trivia content type for both formats. The difference is mainly in how you write the questions and present the results. A trivia game is lighter, more casual, and designed to be replayed. A quiz is more structured, more personal, and usually completed once.
Step-by-Step Setup
Choose a topic that connects to your business or audience. A travel agency might create geography trivia. A sports bar might run daily sports trivia. A tech company might create coding trivia. Write at least 10 to 20 questions so you have enough for daily rotation without repeating too quickly.
Open the Web Builder app in your admin panel and create a new trivia content page. Enter your questions with multiple choice answers and mark the correct answer for each one. Each question supports up to five answer choices.
Set how many questions appear per game session. Five questions per round works well for casual daily play. You can also configure whether answers are revealed immediately after each question or all at once at the end of the game.
If you want fresh trivia every day, enable automatic rotation. The system selects a different set of questions each day from your question pool. This turns your trivia page into a daily destination that gives visitors a reason to return regularly. You can also use the automated publishing system to have AI generate new questions on a schedule.
Add a link to your trivia page from your homepage, blog sidebar, or navigation menu. Use a clear call to action like "Play Today's Trivia" or "Test Your Knowledge." The trivia page is hosted on your domain and works on all devices.

Using AI to Generate Trivia Questions
Writing dozens or hundreds of trivia questions by hand takes time. You can use the platform's AI content generation to produce question sets automatically. Provide a topic and the AI generates questions with answer choices and correct answers marked. Review the output for accuracy, then import the questions into your trivia page.
This is especially useful for daily rotation, where you need a large pool of questions to avoid repeating. AI-generated questions combined with your manual review gives you the volume you need while keeping quality high. See How to Use AI to Generate Website Content for more on AI content creation.
