True Crime Quiz: Which Docs Do You Actually Remember?

Film club organizers, trivia night hosts, and anyone who has lost an evening to a Netflix documentary binge: this one is for you. The Documentary Quiz is a scored, 10 question challenge that covers true crime favorites like Making a Murderer and Tiger King alongside nature series, sports docs, and landmark issue films. It sits on Uplup's free plan, takes about six minutes to finish, and every question is editable before you send it out.

Who turns documentary bragging rights into a real score

Streaming fans are the obvious audience, but this template earns its keep in more structured settings too. Podcast hosts drop it in show notes to see which episodes their listeners actually watched. Discord and Facebook film communities run it as a weekly engagement post. Media studies teachers use it as a low stakes warm up before a unit on nonfiction filmmaking, and pub trivia hosts lift its questions for a documentary themed round. Because the difficulty is rated Medium, casual viewers can finish it without feeling ambushed while serious doc watchers still have something to chase.

Ten questions, from Oscar night to true crime rabbit holes

The quiz asks 10 questions, each worth 10 points, for a possible 100. Formats rotate between single choice, true or false, and select all that apply, which keeps the middle stretch from feeling repetitive. One question asks, "Which documentary won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2020?" with Free Solo and Tiger King sitting among the wrong answers to tempt anyone guessing. Another select all item challenges takers to pick the real Netflix originals from a list that includes Making a Murderer, Tiger King, The Social Dilemma, and Planet Earth.

True crime is one thread here, not the whole fabric. Blackfish, Super Size Me, An Inconvenient Truth, and The Last Dance all make appearances, so the quiz rewards broad documentary knowledge rather than a single obsession. Every answer comes with a short written explanation, which turns a wrong guess into a fact worth repeating at your next watch party. There is no timer, so nobody gets rushed, and a built in leaderboard ranks scores for groups that enjoy a little competition.

Putting the quiz where your audience already hangs out

Once you have tweaked the questions, or left them exactly as they are, distribution takes minutes. Send a direct link in a group chat or newsletter, post it to social channels, or print a QR code for movie night. The quiz also embeds on any website, and WordPress users can add it with a shortcode from the Uplup plugin. As responses come in, the analytics view shows overall scores plus how takers handled each individual question, so you will know right away whether the Planet Earth director question stumped everyone. Results export to CSV if you want to crown a winner in a spreadsheet, and you can restyle the whole thing with your own logo and colors before it goes anywhere.
