Guidelines for Quiz Creation
Important: ALL of the following sets of
guidelines are
relevant for the
category you would like to submit to. Please read all of them carefully
and keep them in mind as you develop your quiz. Thanks!
The following sets of guidelines apply to quizzes created in
Harry Potter Wordplay.
Guidelines for Harry Potter Wordplay
No more Harry Potter anagram quizzes are being accepted. We have enough at this time.
Guidelines for Wordplay for Kids
We are no longer accepting quizzes on hidden animals.
No scrambles are accepted in this category.
Please note that in quizzes on hidden words the sentences must be on the topic. That is in a quiz on hidden names of cities the sentence must say something about that city.
Do some hidden word quizzes already online; e.g. those by minch and robynraymer.
Fill-in-the-blank questions are allowed in the Wordplay category. However the answer should be short, one or two words only. Words should be easy to spell and no longer than six letters.
Note that quizzes on words that are not wordplay play belong in Words for Kids sub-category, which is found under Topics for Kids. We no longer accept quizzes on spelling or on rhyming words.
Guidelines for For Children
tt
- All quizzes in this category should have ten questions only (except for subcategories of Harry Potter/Books for Kids, which allow 15-question quizzes). Questions should be suitable for children aged from six to twelve.
- Fill-in-the-blank questions are not permitted (except in the Books for Kids, Harry Potter and Wordplay subcategories).
- Quizzes should contain mostly multiple choice questions. No more than three true/false or yes/no type questions per ten-question quiz.
- Questions should be brief, preferably no more than one sentence.
- Each question should have at least two short sentences of factual interesting information (repeating the answer and commenting on the question do not count as interesting information).
