Pop Quiz is a free Chrome extension that turns the Google Slides deck you already have into a live quiz show. You make a slide a question, press Slideshow, and the room answers on their phones: no app, no sign-up, results and a leaderboard on your own slides.
Who makes it #
Pop Quiz is made by Jozef Wright, an independent developer in Auckland, New Zealand. Jozef spent seven years in the film industry as a location scout and manager before moving into digital marketing, where he works on search and CRM. Pop Quiz is his own project, built and run on his own time.
Why it exists #
It started as a quiz for a talk at work: about 25 people, one deck, everyone answering on their phones. Every tool tried first either wanted the deck rebuilt in its own app, an account for everyone, or a paid plan for more than a handful of players. So the quiz got built inside the slides instead, and it went well enough to become Pop Quiz.
The idea has stayed the same since: the quiz belongs in the deck you were going to present anyway, in its own look, and joining should take ten seconds.
How it’s run #
- Free. No paid plan, no trial, no ads. If a paid plan ever comes, the free version stays useful.
- No accounts and no tracking. Quizzes stay on your computer. The relay that carries a game passes messages on and keeps nothing. The detail is in the privacy policy.
- Open source. The extension, phone page and relay are on GitHub under the MIT licence.
- Independent. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
