Quiz Creation Notes for Video Games

Quiz Creation Guidelines are generic and apply to all categories in Quizzyland. The creation notes in here outline some of the peculiarities which apply only to quizzes in the Video Games category. Before you create a quiz, please play a few games and familiarize yourself with the contents of Quiz Creation Guidelines and these Notes. Please do NOT write a quiz unless you've played some games and are familiar with the contents of the Guidelines and these Notes.

Video Game titles must be in quotation marks unless they are standing alone as an entire answer.
The Title or Introduction of your quiz must include the system of the game you are writing about. If you are writing about a series of games, this is not needed as some games in different series span different consoles and systems.
Fill-in-the-blank answers should not have quotation marks or other punctuation - and remember that we do not accept quizzes where more than half the questions are fill-in-the-blank outside the Wordplay category. There should be only one discernible answer to a FITB question. Answers such as 'Mario & Zelda' will not be acceptable as they are completely different answers.
Interesting info must be in complete sentences and should go beyond simply giving the title of a video game or simply stating the question and answer again. All quizzes in the Video Games category require at least two full sentences of interesting information per question. Remember, this is often the most important part of a quiz, so devote some time into it. Please also ensure that this info should not be your own personal opinion. An editor can send back a quiz based on extremely repetitive or minimal info at their own discretion.

First time quiz creators
If you are a first time quiz creator, then your quiz must be just ten questions in length, and you can not use any fill-in-the-blank questions (as per the template system; not even an editor can make this exception).

Rejection of quizzes by Editors
If your quiz is rejected, don't get upset- make the suggested changes and resubmit. If you don't understand the rejection note, reply to the editor and politely ask for help and clarification. We will make sure that anyone who puts some effort forward will get his or her quiz online and will offer any help we can. Remember: most first-time quiz-writers will probably get at least one correction notice. After a few quizzes, the guidelines will probably become second-nature. :)

Correction Notes
When filing a correction note, keep in mind that this is a fun site, not a competition and the points earned are just for fun. Also keep in mind that there are many children and young adults making some of these quizzes so try to 'cut them some slack' about their errors. Rude and offensive remarks (even if they are to your friends) will be reported to the administrators and could result in suspension, or removal, from this site. When making a correction, make certain your information is correct and be sure to include the question number so we can find the error. All error reports will be evaluated.

Quizzes under construction
Please note that quizzes which have not been submitted after a substantial amount of time will be deleted. Keep a back-up copy!

If you wish to submit quizzes that are 20 or 25 questions in length, please consult one of the editors in this category to see if it suitable. Quizzes with only 10 or 15 questions are expected in most instances, and anything longer could easily be made into a two-part quiz.

Do not submit quizzes with the following: offensive language or material, long or hard-to-spell fill-in-the-blank answers, or silly give-away answers (like 'who cares,' 'I don't know,' etc.). Please put your quizzes in an appropriate sub-category- not just the main Video Games category! Minor typos and spelling errors in quizzes are usually corrected by Editors before going online, but quizzes with a significant number of errors will be returned, as will quizzes which do not adhere to the Quiz Creation Guidelines and these Notes.

HAPPY QUIZ-WRITING!
