The free trivia generator
Type a topic, pick five, ten or fifteen questions, and the trivia generator writes trivia questions with answers and a one-line explanation for each, in under a minute and with no account. Leave it on general knowledge and it works as a random trivia generator; type something narrow and it gets specific, from 90s movies to the periodic table. When the set looks right, one button and a free account turn it into a live quiz: scoring and a share link on the free plan, a timer on Pro, a leaderboard on Business.
How the trivia generator works
From a topic to a readable set with the answer key, the trivia questions generator takes the same three steps for a pub round, a classroom warm-up or a newsletter section. Here's how it works:
1. Pick a topic
Type anything from Roman history to things that happened in 1998, or tap a chip. Choose 5, 10 or 15 questions and a difficulty, or leave the topic on general knowledge and use it as a random trivia generator.
2. Uplup writes the questions
Claude (the AI behind Uplup) writes a mix of multiple choice and true or false questions, marks the correct answer on each one and adds a one-line explanation so the host can settle arguments.
3. Read it, copy it or host it
Keep the answers hidden while you play, reveal them when you're ready, or copy the whole set as plain text for a printed answer sheet. Want people to play it live? A free account turns it into a scored quiz with a share link, with a timer on Pro and a leaderboard on Business.
How do I make a trivia game?
Pick a topic, generate 10 to 15 questions with answers, then host them as a scored quiz so people play against each other instead of reading along. The trivia question generator above covers the first two steps, and a free Uplup account covers the third: the set lands in the quiz builder with the correct answers and the points already set, and the Results tab shows every score as it comes in. The quiz timer is on Pro and the leaderboard on Business.
For a pub quiz
Generate one set per round, ten questions each is the classic, and keep the difficulty on mixed so every table gets a few. Hide the answers while you read, reveal them for the marking, and Copy all gives you the answer sheet. If a round should come from a PDF, an article or a slide deck instead of a topic, the AI quiz generator takes those as sources.
For the classroom
Set the difficulty to easy and the topic to this week's unit, and you've got a warm-up or an exit ticket in under a minute. Hosted as a quiz, every student answers on their own device and each score comes back to you, which beats a show of hands. Read the set through first, the explanations make that quick.
For a team night
Split the room into teams with the random name picker, then run the set as a live quiz on everyone's phone. On Pro the quiz timer keeps the rounds moving and auto-submit closes them fairly, and on Business the leaderboard ranks by score, by time or both.
For a newsletter
Five questions with the answers at the bottom is the easiest recurring section you'll ever write: Copy all, paste, send. Or link to the hosted quiz so readers play and you watch the scores come in. Want a question reworded before it goes out? Ask Uplup edits the quiz by chat in the builder.
Trivia topics people ask for
Tap a topic and the generator fills in. These twelve come up most, and the random trivia question generator handles anything else you type, from a specific decade to your own company's history.

Frequently asked questions
Is the trivia generator free?
Yes. Generating trivia questions is free and needs no account, up to five sets an hour. Turning a set into a hosted quiz needs a free Uplup account, which includes the quiz builder, scoring, a share link and 10 responses a month, with no credit card. A quiz timer is on Pro and a leaderboard on Business.
Do I need an account?
No. Type a topic, generate the set, then read it and copy it without signing up. An account only comes in when you want the hosted version: a quiz link people can play, with the score tallied for them and every result in your Results tab. That account is free and takes about a minute to create.
Can I turn the questions into a quiz?
Yes. Every set you generate is saved as a draft quiz, so "Turn this into a live quiz" opens a free account, claims the draft and lands you in the quiz builder with the questions, correct answers and points in place. You pick the design from there, with a timer on Pro and a leaderboard on Business.
How many questions can I generate?
Five, ten or fifteen per set, and every set is yours to copy. For a longer pub quiz, generate one set per round: a 60-question night is six rounds of ten on six topics, which also keeps each round on theme. The free limit is five sets an hour from one connection, so a whole evening fits in one sitting.
Are the answers correct?
Mostly, though not always, so read them through. Claude writes the questions from what it knows, which is strong on well-documented topics and weaker on recent events and local detail. Every question carries a one-line explanation so you can check it in seconds, and anything that looks off takes a moment to swap out in the quiz builder.
Can I pick the difficulty?
Yes. Choose easy, medium, hard or mixed before you generate. Mixed is the pub-quiz spread: a few everyone gets and a couple that split the room. For a classroom warm-up, easy on a narrow topic works best, and for a hard round it helps to name the topic tightly, say "1990s Formula 1" rather than "sport".
Make your own trivia in under a minute
Type a topic above, pick the question count and the generator does the rest. When the set is good, turn it into a live quiz and let people play: that last step is the trivia maker part, where the quiz builder adds the scoring, plus a timer on Pro and a leaderboard on Business, and the link works on any phone.
