But they are in a list.
Top-rated quizzes at FunTrivia.com

Then of course, you have the list of quizzes with the Editor's Choice honor.

There used to be a list of the top 100 quizzes on the site, but I can't find it on the new home screen (and maybe it doesn't really exist anymore - when I used the link in my Favorites bar I saw the first page of 30 quizzes, but got an error message when I tried to go to page 2.)

Of more relevance, perhaps, is the Gold Member feature to see the top-ranked quizzes in each category, so players can go to a category in which they are interested and sample what they find, knowing that those are the 100 most popular quizzes in that category. 20 categories x 100 top quizzes = 2,000 from which to choose.

Thanks Looney tunes that's what I was looking for!

I've been on here a year and didn't realize those lists were even there. I guess I got used to traveling the same paths each day... Anyway I appreciate it and will be sure to check them out.

Several challenges ask that you complete a quiz of XX questions. I would like to see a way to sort quizzes by the number of questions.

Badge suggestion.

I have not fully fleshed this out, but wondered if there could be more "co-operating with others" type badges as in the three keys?

Since biographies and autobiographies of any person are Nonfiction, "celebrity" biographies and autobiographies belong in the Nonfiction Expert topic. If a celebrity wasn't "important" to someone, they wouldn't be famous, would they? (The definition of celebrity is "to be famous" in any dictionary you care to use.)


The Dewey Decimal system lists biographies, auto or written by someone else, under History, the 900 Class.

920 Biography & genealogy
920 Biography, genealogy, insignia
921–928 This range is reserved as an optional location for biographies, which are shelved alphabetically by subject's last name.
929 Genealogy, names, insignia

It's further complicated if the questions being asked are less about the celebrity and more about the book itself.

Just because something is in a book about a celebrity does not mean that it is factual, or uncontested. "What does this book say happened?' and "What happened?" are not necessarily the same question.

Editors take this into account when deciding where to place a quiz, and when advising authors about the approach to take with a quiz. When I was a Lit editor, there were occasions when I would advise an author to make their quiz about the subject, rather than about the book about the subject. There were also occasions when I would do the opposite, where I'd tell them "This isn't a quiz about Nikk Sixx (for example) but is instead a quiz about his autobiography, and should go in Lit rather than Music".

It all depends on the quiz, and that's something that isn't always easy to tell when playing a single question pulled from the quiz. You can be assured that we do pay attention to this, though, and don't just put quizzes into categories with no thought.

Could someone please let me know the next time there's an easy Champ set for the Daily Game. (You'll find out eventually).

But I wouldn't be opposed to expanding the Champ sets for reasons of balance.

I'm requesting the above suggestion not be done. I find it is too easy now to accidently change an answer while scrolling down while playing a timed game on an iPad. Having the Submit button on the eft will result in accidental early submissions of games.

It's best to leave it where it is. Speed players wishing to shave the last one or two tenths of a second off their time should practice using the Enter key to submit, once you're used to that, it's faster than any technique requiring the player to position a mouse cursor first.

One way to lower your times is to just click enter before you make it through all of the questions. It doesn't help increase your score, but it does speed things up.

Only a month late but haha!

The Global Challenge Television quiz was all US shows. I know this is an oft repeated subject, but I have a suggestion or more for the solution (other than to write more quizzes).

a) Rename the set "US Television"
b) Resort the Television category into "USA" and "Rest of the World" to get a better mix
c) Change the way that questions are selected so that they are more across the board

This is something a lot more complicated than it seems, especially since many shows have variants and versions licensed in different parts of the world. Someone looking for "Survivor", for instance, can find versions for the US, Australia, parts of Europe, etc. etc., and then we face the issue of anyone wanting to write quizzes that cover multiple franchises under the "Survivor" umbrella. In terms of categorization, the way we have things right now was built up over the years to take the path of least resistance. We look at categorization and ask the question "if I were a player looking for Survivor quizzes, where would I look?"

While I understand that this does make things a bit more difficult for international audiences, it comes down to popularity and question difficulty as well. While American players are probably more likely to answer a question about 'King of the Hill', UK players are going to be vastly more likely to answer one of the more than 3,000 questions we have about 'Doctor Who'. And that's not even thinking about the people outside of both those countries who might have trouble with both.

And none of this solves the issue of mixed quizzes potentially taking questions from any shows out there.

To split all of these out-- show by show or question by question at a more thorough level-- is the same argument we make about excluding topics from Team Heroes or any of the other dailies/hourlies. Some people like the topics and some people don't. As for distribution and fairness, in the end, it's all trivia. The games may lean a certain direction, but we can only do our best to even out the balance by encouraging content to make that happen...and even then, it comes down to how the players actually perform on those questions.

To note, we used to split these out a little bit (specifically for the U.S., Canada, the UK, and AUS) but that doesn't really solve the situation. It's a good way to isolate shows that are very explicitly tied to those regions, but it obviously has the effect of narrowing the field. This exact same argument could be made for People or Celebrities or Music or Movies, etc. (ie. I only want to answer questions about Americans vs. everybody else). I don't think any editors have used that regionality option in years (I haven't, and I know about it) because it's not something that was worth extrapolating on back when it was created in the first place.

And in those ancient days when the regional quizzes were sampled, American questions could pop up into the Australian mix too (or anywhere else).

There is an hourly quiz listed on the homepage as "Piece of Cake". I'm going to take a leap of faith that people reading this post have played the game labeled as Poece of Cake at some point in their FunTrivia stay.

However, on the front page of every team Piece of Cake is listed as Easy on the team rankings chart. All of the other games are listed with a version of their names on the FT homepage. I'd like to suggest that designation of Piece of Cake on the League charts be changed to Cake.

I have an idea for a knockout tournament that would be fun to watch. How about one week (or maybe even more than one) putting 16 of the editors/administrators into one tournament and letting them fight it out to see who is king/queen among them? Of course, that bracket should be included in the fantasy tournament that week so those of us who are interested spectators would know about it and follow along.

It's a great game but I would recommend having the Daily Game expanded into more question sets. Why is it that there are 80+ players in one division (11 and 12)? With teams with a lot of players on it very early in the day there will be a teammate that has played in Div 11 and another in Div 12. It seems very easy to collude. As a reference the Pot of Gold game usually only has 25 or less players per question set and has 15 question sets. So why are there so few divisions in the Daily Game?
