Build a World Cuisines Quiz That Scores Itself

Ten dishes' worth of questions, 100 points total, and a 60 point bar to clear. That's the full shape of this culinary quiz, and Uplup pegs it at four to six minutes from start to finish. Every answer triggers instant feedback with a short explanation, so takers learn something even on the questions they miss.

Paella, pho, and eight more chances to score

The set mixes three formats. Single choice questions like "Which country is paella originally from?" and "What is the national dish of Thailand?" sit alongside true or false checks on kimchi and pho, plus select-all questions that ask takers to pick the Italian dishes out of a lineup that sneaks in paella and tagine. Coverage runs from Spanish rice dishes to the fermented soybean paste and dashi behind Japanese miso soup, with stops in France, Morocco, Vietnam, and South Korea.

The order shuffles for each taker, which keeps answer sharing between friends from working too well. Skipping is switched off and there's no returning to earlier questions, so every answer is a commitment. A progress indicator along the top shows how much quiz is left.

Sixty points to pass, and what that actually takes

Scoring runs on points. Each question carries 10, the total is 100, and the pass mark sits at 60, which means six correct answers clears the bar. Because feedback is instant, takers see whether they got it right before moving on, along with the explanation behind the answer. The croissant question is a good example: France is the correct pick, but the explanation notes the pastry's Austrian origins, which is the kind of detail people repeat later.

There's no timer running and no leaderboard, so the pressure stays low. Anyone who lands under 60 can simply take another run at it, since the settings let people retry as often as they like.

Change the menu before you serve it

Every part of the template is editable. Swap the Thai national dish question for one about your own region, reweight the points, raise or lower the pass mark, or turn shuffling and instant feedback off if you'd rather reveal scores at the end. You can also add your logo and pick colors that match your site.

The whole thing runs on Uplup's free plan, so publishing costs nothing. Share it by link, QR code, or a social post, drop the embed snippet into any page, or use the Uplup plugin's shortcode if the quiz belongs inside a WordPress post. Responses flow into analytics that show scores and question-level accuracy, and you can pull everything out as a CSV or push it onward through webhooks or Zapier.
