How to Build a Quiz or Trivia App
Div-idy makes it easy to build quiz and trivia apps for teachers or just for fun. You can create quizzes, collect student scores, and even assign unique IDs through the URL when you want a custom link for each student.
Quick Answer
To build a quiz or trivia app, create a new project and prompt Div-idy to generate a quiz UI with questions,
answer choices, scoring, and a results screen. For classrooms, you can save scores to your database and optionally
assign each student a unique ID by reading it from the URL (example: ?studentId=abc123).
Step-by-Step
Create a new project
Start from your projects dashboard.
Open: /myaccount
Click: New ProjectUse a quiz prompt
Tell Div-idy the topic, number of questions, and how scoring should work. If you’re building it for school, mention that you want to collect student scores.
Example prompt (teacher quiz):
Build a quiz web app for teachers to use in class.
Requirements:
- 10 multiple-choice questions about U.S. History
- One question per screen with Next/Back buttons
- A progress indicator (Question 3 of 10)
- Score tracking (1 point per correct answer)
- Final results screen showing score and which questions were missed
- A "Restart Quiz" button
- Clean, student-friendly designCollect student name + save scores
Ask Div-idy to add a simple “Enter your name” screen before the quiz, and save the final score. This can be saved in localStorage for fun, or your database for classrooms.
Example follow-up prompt:
Add a start screen that asks for:
- Student name
- Class period (optional)
After finishing the quiz:
- Save { name, classPeriod, score, totalQuestions, timestamp }
to my Div-idy database table called "quizScores"
and show a confirmation message.Optional: assign unique student IDs through the URL
If you want a unique link per student (or per class), you can read an ID from the URL and attach it to the saved score. This is helpful when you don’t want students typing an ID manually.
Example URL:
yourapp.com/?studentId=abc123
Follow-up prompt:
Read studentId from the URL query string.
If studentId exists:
- show it on the start screen (read-only)
- save it with the score to the database
If it’s missing:
- allow the student to type an ID manuallyOptional: build a teacher scoreboard / admin view
For classrooms, you can add a teacher view that lists scores, filters by class period, and exports results.
Example follow-up prompt:
Create an admin/teacher page that:
- Displays quizScores in a table (name, studentId, score, timestamp)
- Allows filtering by class period
- Sorts by highest score
- Adds an Export CSV buttonIdeas for Quiz Apps
- Classroom warm-up quiz (5 questions, quick scoring)
- Trivia night scoreboard for friends
- Study guide quiz with explanations for correct answers
- Personality quiz (results based on points per category)
