Every category has a page of its own: what it covers, how it plays, and where most people come unstuck. The questions behind them are hand-written and revisited when an answer changes. And if you would rather read them than play them, every category publishes its full question list with the answers beside them.
Where the quizzes come from
Two sources. The categories below are our own question pool — hand-written, maintained in two languages, and corrected when an answer goes out of date. The quizzes in the list above come from people who play here: anyone can build their own, up to fifty questions, with images and categories of their choosing.
A quiz somebody builds does not go public straight away. It goes through a review first, and until then only its author can play it. That costs a day of patience and spares the listing what open submissions usually do to it. If a published quiz is edited later, the approved version stays online until the change has been reviewed too.
