If you want to boost your audience engagement, lighten the mood, or test how attentive your listeners are, quizzes are a great way to do so! Making a quick question layout is very easy (as you'll see in this blogpost), however it can be tedious to get the design to look good. So if you a) don't have time b) don't feel like doing a template yourself or c) just want to impress the audience with some nice looking quiz designs that you might not have thought of creating yourself, we got you covered.

We created 10 exclusive designs that you can download and use - 100% free - both for commercial use e.g. your next presentation and for private use (how about a trivia night?!) Just look through our list and get the one you like most - we got something for every taste! And by the way, if you need inspiration for quiz question ideas, be sure to check out our article on 50 Quiz Ideas for your Presentation !

• Galaxy Quiz
• Basic Black and White Quiz

• Summer Beach Style Quiz
• Keyboard Style Yes-No-Quiz
• Personality Quiz
• Picture Quiz
• Minimalist Quiz
• Vocabulary Quiz
• Who wants to be a Millionaire Quiz

#1 - Galaxy Quiz

Have you ever had a question that only the stars could possibly answer? Now you can ask it with our beautiful galaxy / universe quiz design. This quiz template is the perfect way to go for all the people who adore some extravagant designs - you'll definitely wow your audience! The only downside is that your quiz participants might be so mesmerized by the galactic infinity that they may actually forget to vote for the right answer.

#2 - Basic True and False Quiz (Black & White Style)

This template is pretty plain and basic, yet far from boring! The contrast between black and white and the diagonal text elements make it the perfect elegant choice for anyone who's looking for an interesting and timeless classic design. It even comes in three different options. You can either decide for one or use all three in one quiz-session. We got you covered with one simple white, one black, and one half black- half white design for anybody who can't decide which one they like better. You can use this template for all kinds of questions that have two possible answers (so it is perfect for Yes/No or True/False quizzes!)

#3 - Kahoot PowerPoint Template

Unfortunately, there is no way to conduct a Kahoot quiz via PowerPoint. Until now! We built this wonderful template that looks exactly like the design of our favorite online- quiz- game. But now you can easily play it in your presentation without having to open the browser. And don't worry, participating via smartphone is still absolutely possible and easier than ever by using the SlideLizard Quiz Creator Plugin . Similar to Kahoot it lets you conduct fun audience quizzes, but embedded directly within your PowerPoint presentation!

#4 - Summer Beach Style Quiz

Get some instant holiday vibes without leaving the country, or even the house! Inspired by our tropical island PowerPoint template (which you can get right here !), we designed a wonderful new quiz template that will give you and your audience the feeling of being on vacation while you're actually in a meeting, lecture, or elsewhere. So it is basically everything you could ever want in a quiz. There are even two background styles that you can choose between!

#5 - Keyboard Style Yes/No Quiz

Without a doubt, our keyboard style Yes/No Quiz is one of the most creative ones! It is really fun and an amazing option for anyone who's looking to switch things up a little. The best thing? It comes with an esc- option! So if your quiz participants really, really don't know the answer, they can just - well - escape instead! The slides with the Escape- options are optional however, so if you'd rather want your audience to vote either Yes or No, you can leave out the esc- key. It doesn't matter, weather you're only asking if the audience needs a bathroom break or hard- to- answer trivia questions, with this template you're always in style!

#6 - Personality Quiz

Until now you probably thought more about doing trivia questions in your presentations, but did you know that personality quiz questions can also be an amazing engagement- enhancing element during any presentation? They are especially great as ice breaker questions , but could also be used as mood- lightener at any point. And the best thing: If you get SlideLizard, you can even see the audience results, so you have a statistic overview of e.g. people's favorite ice cream flavors (or whatever else you've always wanted to ask!) P.S: You could also use all the other templates in this post as personality quizzes, but this one is specifically designed as such.

#7 - Picture Quiz

If pictures speak to you more than words do, our picture quiz template might be the one for you! It comes with a fun, modern and playful design, and the pictures can of course be changed to whatever you want them to be (you can also add or remove new images, so there is a selection of 2, 3 or 6 pictures). The picture quiz can be used for testing vocabulary (although #9 covers that already), or to spice up your trivia questions. You could even use it as a fun way to introduce yourself to the audience (e.g. "Which of these baby photos is me?") in order to break the ice. Tip: If you want to know more about ice breaker questions, check out our blog post here .

#8 - Minimalist Quiz

Minimalism is extremely popular right now, and we totally get why! This is the simplest out of all the templates, but isn't it beautiful? With this quiz template, you get slides for Multiple Choice AND True/False questions! We are in love with this template in all its simplicity, but if you want, you could definitely use this as a blank canvas and upgrade it by adding pictures, backgrounds, new fonts or your favourite colors. The sky is the limit!

#9 - Vocabulary Quiz

This one is different from all the other quizzes, since it is neither multiple nor single choice, but instead somewhat of a memory game. We recommend this animated PowerPoint quiz template for testing new vocabulary or difficult terminology, but you could also adapt it and make it a regular open question format by writing questions instead of words on the cards and the right answers on the green cards below (it sounds more difficult than it actually is, and when you download the template, you'll get a detailed guide on how to use it.) In this format, there are some boxes with words in English (which you can exchange with your own words, obviously). By clicking on those boxes in presentation mode, they disappear and leave a green answer card. You can easily play this with your audience/students by letting them shout out the translation of a certain word and then clicking on the matching box to see if the translation is correct.

#10 - Exclusive Who Wants to be a Millionaire Quiz Template

Last but certainly not least, is our "Who wants to be a Millionaire" Template, which we created exclusively for you to feel like a real game show contestant! The whole template is pretty extensive, which is why we put it in a blog article on its own. Be sure to check it out right here in order to learn how to get the best experience possible out of the game - you'll also find the Download link there. The template comes with everything you could wish for - sound effects, a design that is stunningly similar to the real one, and even the possibility to participate via smartphone! The video below gives you a short demonstration of how the game looks.

Let your audience participate with their smartphone

Once you have chosen a quiz, you have to ask yourself: How do I conduct it during my presentation? Of course, you could just let your audience raise their hands for the answers of their choice - but that seems outdated and overly complicated (counting the amount of votes for each answers,...). The way more convenient option is to use an application like SlideLizard, which allows your audience to vote for the answer of their choice via their mobile devices, making the experience a whole lot better - quiz competitions have never been better!

The process is easy:

• Get SlideLizard for free by clicking here .
• Connect your presentation with SlideLizard. If you need more details on how to do that, please watch this short video tutorial .
• The Slides are already programmed to fill in your questions and Answers into the slots. We recommend to start by creating all the quiz questions you want to ask your audience.
• Then, duplicate the question slide as often as you need (= same number of questions you created). It is also a good idea to insert an answer slide after every question.
• You only need to assign the questions to the slides , and you're good to go!

Watch our video to get detailed instructions on how to connect your quiz with SlideLizard:

Adapt the templates

If you'd like to use one of our templates, but feel like making some adjustments, you can easily do that yourself. All of the given templates can be modified, you can make a two- answer quiz in a multiple choice one and vice versa, you can change colors, fonts and shapes to fit your personal taste or company branding. In the following quick guide, you will be shown how certain elements can be transformed. We're using our galaxy template as an example, but all the templates are transformable in the same or very similar ways.

So here's our downloaded template:

Now, let's start by changing the background first. Click anywhere on a slide and select "Format Background"...

Then go to "Picture or texture fill" (or Solid Fill if you want the background to be a plain color).

After clicking "Insert" your file explorer will open. Select the picture of your choice and click "Insert" once again. Your backround is now changed.

The existing boxes should be rectangular, don't you think? Let's do that by deleting the existing boxes and exchanging them with new ones. To do so, click on a box, then right click > "Cut" (or hit the backspace key). Then go to the insert tab and click "Shapes", where you can choose the shape of your choice and draw it on the slide. Place it where you want.

If the object you just drew hides the text, just go to the "Shape Format" Tab and then click "Send backward" until the text shows again.

And while we're at it, maybe just remove two answer options and make it a True/False quiz? If you want to, you can also change the font, and we're good to go! You just modified our quiz and made a whole new one that has your own personal handwriting!

How to Create a Quiz in PowerPoint

content creator

Helen Colman See full bio →

Let’s agree that PowerPoint is the hidden gem in Microsoft Office. Using standard PowerPoint tools, you can go far beyond creating presentations. Actually, you can build mini games with animation tricks or a video presentation , or make PowerPoint quizzes with strict navigation parameters. 

In this article, we’ll show you two ways to create a quiz in PowerPoint step by step, so you can decide which one suits you best.

Choose from the two methods:

Method 1. how to create a multiple-choice quiz in powerpoint.

While PowerPoint might not be the first tool that comes to mind when thinking about quiz creation, it can be surprisingly versatile. If you have no other tools at hand, we’ll walk you through the process of leveraging PowerPoint’s features only for creating a common, multiple choice quiz. If you’d like to explore PowerPoint features on your Mac, feel free to learn how to install Windows on it.

A multiple-choice quiz is the fundamental question type. It offers participants distinct choices, making the answers quantifiable and easy to evaluate. Follow these 5 steps if you want to make a quiz in PowerPoint Presentation:

Step 1. Create the front page or title slide of the PowerPoint quiz

Open a new slide in your presentation file or create a new PowerPoint presentation and type the title of your assessment. Ours will be called “Mt. Everest Quiz.” You can also add some additional textual data like we did. 

Add an image that will be in line with your topic. To do this, click the Insert tab and choose Pictures . Or you can do this by simply clicking on the picture icon in the center of your slide.

Step 2. Create the question and the incorrect and correct answers

To make a question slide, move on to the next slide and type the question in the text box. Instead of questions, you can also use incomplete sentences, phrases, or mathematical equations. Add a picture that will illustrate your ideas well and serve visual communication.

Add reply options to your question: the correct answer and the incorrect ones. Go to the Insert tab and click the Text Box button. Type in the first option, then continue to add the rest of them in a presentation.

Multiple-choice questions typically contain one correct answer (also called the key) and three wrong answers (called distractors). However, you are free to add as many options as you like.

Compose the next question-and-answer slides in the same way.

Step 3. Create the correct answer slide

Add an additional correct answer slide after your first question slide saying that the learner has chosen the right answer. In the new slide, enter a congratulatory message, such as “ Correct answer! ,” “ Right answer! ,” “ That’s right! ,” “ Correct! ,” or “ Well done! ”, “Correct answer, Congratulations!” In the Content box, add a phrase that will encourage students to continue, like “ Go to the next question! ,” “ Continue! ,” or “ Let’s move on! ”. 

Great! Your correct answer slide is ready.

Step 4. Create the wrong answer slide

Add the next slide, wrong answer slide, which will be displayed when test takers make an incorrect choice. Add another PowerPoint slide and type in the relevant text in the Title Box , like Oops, that’s incorrect… But this time give your learners a chance to go back to the quiz question slide and try again. So, this is what our wrong answer slide will look like:

To make knowledge checks even more effective for learners, provide feedback on each wrong answer slide. Helpful information presented in your feedback message can explain certain questions and correct or wrong answers in more detail. 

Awesome! The incorrect answer slides are done.

Continue adding the incorrect and correct answer slides after each question slide.

You can also create the next slide, the last one, which states that the quiz has been completed.

Step 5. Add navigation to your PowerPoint quiz

Now it’s time to link the incorrect and correct answer slides to the relevant feedback slide. To do this, click on the Answer Text Box , then go to the Insert tab and tap on Hyperlink . In the open window, choose Place in This Document and select the necessary “ That’s correct ” or “ That’s incorrect ” PowerPoint slide.

To allow continued navigation from a feedback slide, add a hyperlink to the “Continue” text. Once again, you’ll need to repeat the actions for every single slide, because a feedback slide should lead to a new quiz question slide every time.

To let your audience return to the question slide, open the slide for wrong answers and click on the “Try again” text. Add hyperlinks to the question where the learner made a mistake. This time, go to the Insert tab and click Actions . In the opened drop-down menu, select Hyperlink to → Last Slide Viewed . You can see the final result in the slide show mode.

Our short quiz is ready now.

The Limitations of PowerPoint for Creating Quizzes

As you can see, Microsoft PowerPoint doesn’t provide purpose-built features for quizzes — it can take a while to create slides with quiz questions, a feedback slide for every single answer, and link slides to each other manually. Here are some more things that are missing from PowerPoint:

• It falls short when it comes to creating complex types of interactive quiz questions like drag-and-drop, matching, multiple responses, surveys, and hotspot. 
• It lacks the functionality to track learner progress, such as their completion status or the number of points they’ve scored.
• Monitoring who takes your  PowerPoint quiz, their success rate, and analyzing their learning progress isn’t feasible.
• Distributing a PowerPoint quiz also has limitations; You can’t share it on your website, a social media blog, or through email, particularly to individuals who don’t have access to PowerPoint.

Therefore, when you need to build a reliable and interactive quiz that keeps the audience engaged, it’s better to use special eLearning authoring tools . Below, we’ll explain and show you how much easier and faster it is to create quizzes with iSpring QuizMaker.

Method 2. How to Create an Interactive Quiz Fast with PowerPoint and iSpring QuizMaker

iSpring QuizMaker is a simple authoring tool designed to help you create different types of quizzes and knowledge checks, share them online, and track learner progress. We decided to improve our Mt. Everest Quiz using this tool and this is the result:

With iSpring QuizMaker, creating a quiz is a piece of cake. The tool provides you with 14 question templates — you only need to choose the type of slide layout you want for the quiz question (for example: multiple-choice, matching, or hotspot). We’ve broken down most of these in previous articles. Check them out:

• How to Create a Multiple-Choice Quiz
• How to Create a True or False Quiz
• How to Make a Matching Quiz in Minutes
• How to Create a Hotspot Question for an Online Quiz
• How to Make a Drag-and-Drop Quiz in 7 Steps
• How to Create a Likert Scale Survey
• How to Create a Fill-in-the-Blank Quiz that Works
• How to Create a Drop-Down Quiz in 7 Steps

Such a comprehensive variety helps gamify the learning process, engage learners and enhance their experience.

In many situations, knowledge cannot be tested with basic multiple-choice quizzes alone. For example, tests on historical topics require an understanding of how events evolved over time. That’s why we included a sequence question in our revamped quiz.

Sometimes more than one key answer should be chosen. These multiple response questions cannot be created with a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation alone. But we didn’t discard the idea, and used iSpring QuizMaker for this purpose.

How to Create a Quiz with a Score in PowerPoint

There are no tests without assessment; that’s why it’s essential that your quizzes evaluate students’ results. As we’ve already mentioned, PPT doesn’t have such features. That’s why we only added a neutral last slide that did not indicate whether the assessment had been passed or failed.

On the contrary, the enhanced Mt. Everest Quiz grades learners’ results and shows their score, both during the assessment and at the end.

To make your questions gradable, all you need to do is to choose the By passing score under Scoring Type in the Properties dialogue box of iSpring QuizMaker and set the passing score you need. By default, the passing score is 80%.

In iSpring QuizMaker, passing result slides are created by default, so there’s no need to add them manually. You can change the slide message according to your personal taste or needs, and add a graphic image or photo, audio or video.

Once you finish, you can choose publishing options. For example, you can publish your interactive PowerPoint quiz to HTML5. This format will ensure that your learners have the best browsing experience, no matter what device they use.

To collect PowerPoint quiz results, you don’t even need an LMS that automatically tracks learner progress. If you don’t use a learning platform, simply choose whether to get results via email or have them sent to your server in the iSpring QuizMaker Properties window.

How to Make Quizzes Cheat Proof

As a knowledge check, your quiz should be not only engaging but also cheat-proof, so you can get reliable results on how learners progress through the learning material. With iSpring QuizMaker, you can set specific rules that prevent learners from cheating.

For example, you can set the options like assigning scores and penalties for individual questions or shuffling answer options to keep students on their toes. Or shuffle right and wrong answers. You can also set the number of attempts allowed and limit the time to take the test in order to prevent learners from searching for the answer options online.

As for the visuals of your quiz, iSpring QuizMaker provides you with extended editing options, so you can get creative and change the design of all the slides or experiment with typing fonts.

How to Create a Quiz Game in PowerPoint

Games have gone far beyond being just kid stuff. Course developers use them to get learners excited about a topic, to reinforce what’s being taught, or just allow learners to take a break and have a little fun. 

Games connect emotionally and make the material stick. In most cases, they are the same PowerPoint quizzes but presented in a more interactive format. Let’s look at some games you can create with PowerPoint.

The Jeopardy quiz game is a popular American TV show that turned into a widely loved educational interactivity. This is basically a board of categories, each with a series of clues of increasing difficulty and point values. Players select a clue from the board, and after the answer is revealed, they respond in the form of a question.

The Jeopardy quiz game encourages broad knowledge across various areas, from history and literature to science and pop culture. The good thing is you don’t need any special software to create such a quiz game on your own; usually, PowerPoint is sufficient. 

To build a Jeopardy game and amaze your learners, check out our step-by-step tutorial . Or watch a 4-minute how-to video to save time. As a bonus, you can download a free Jeopardy game template and customize it right away: add your questions and answers, and modify the game’s design.

Download the Jeopardy game template →

Memory game

The memory game, when designed as flashcards, isn’t actually a quiz game, but can still be created in PowerPoint with ease. 

Flashcards are fantastic for building associations. Each card has two sides: one side with an image (like a picture of a bird, a fruit, a place, or anything really) and the other side with the corresponding name or concept. For example, when you flip a card showing the image of a bird, the other side reveals its name. This visual association strengthens memory recall and aids the learning process in a more engaging and interactive way.

Such activities can be used beyond learning new vocabulary, incorporating concepts, historical figures, mathematical symbols, or scientific elements, which makes them virtually versatile.

In our previous article, we shared a step-by-step guide on how to create flashcards in PowerPoint . So, if you find them as amazing as we do, check it out.

“Who wants to be a millionaire?”

“Who wants to be a millionaire?” is a famous TV quiz game that we bet you’ve seen thousands of times. Players tackle a series of increasingly difficult questions in order to win money. In fact, this game consists of simple multiple-choice questions that we’ve already discussed in this article, so it won’t be difficult for you to create such a fascinating game on your own.

You can use the first method and create this quiz game through hyperlinks in PowerPoint that will take the player to the particular slide, depending on whether the correct or incorrect answer is chosen. All you need to do is:

• Create a series of slides, each with a multiple-choice question and four possible correct and wrong answers.
• Implement lifelines — add hyperlinks (select Hyperlink to ) or add animations (triggers). For example, a “50:50” lifeline could hide two incorrect answers when activated.
• Design a slide with immediate feedback on incorrect and correct answers and track the player’s progress toward the grand prize visually. Optional: you can also add sound effects for a correct or an wrong answer to make your game more immersive.

The next two slides will take longer to create. Thus, it’s much more efficient to use iSpring QuizMaker to create such a quiz game. In this case, you’ll be able to create the correct navigation in your quiz in a few minutes, set the time limit for each answer option, and provide automatic feedback for each correct or wrong answer.

We’ve created a sample “ Who Wants to Be a Training Expert? ” quiz game to illustrate what this might look like:

Moreover, you can download a game source file and customize it with a free trial of iSpring QuizMaker by adding your question-and-answer options and applying sound effects to amaze your learners.

We hope this article answered your questions about how to create a quiz in PowerPoint. While making quizzes in PPT is an option, its functionality is limited, and they can be very difficult to create. This classic software is good for creating presentations and adding multiple-choice quizzes to your slide deck. Download the Mt. Everest Quiz source file to repeat the same steps mentioned earlier and practice creating quizzes in PowerPoint. 

To author an interactive assessment that really tests students’ knowledge and engages your audience, more innovative software is required. Try iSpring QuizMaker for free and start creating engaging interactive quizzes in PPT right now.

You will be able to see the real-time responses on your screen. Tips: If you want to keep the responses hidden until everyone has submitted, hide them with the eye icon, or minimize the window. (Auto-minimizing is a Play option too!)

When all of your students have answered your question, you can “ Close Submissions “, and view the colorful bar graph displaying your audience responses! Click the toggle to reveal the correct answer , and click on any of the answer choices to show which students submitted it. You can also award stars to your students who answered the questions correctly!

Tip: Create a saved class so your students can join with the same name and class code every time. This not only smooths out the joining process, but it also enables stars awarded to students to accumulate over time, which you can reveal on the leaderboard , or keep track of for yourself inside your Class List in edit mode.

3: Review Activity Submissions After Class

Once you close the submissions in the activity window, the results are automatically saved inside the question button!

You will notice your question button has now turned green , indicating that there are responses stored inside. You can click on the button to review the results again by clicking on “ View Responses ” on the side panel.

If you’d like to clear the responses, click “ Delete Responses “, and the question button will turn back to blue, and you can now run the Multiple Choice question again.

To add more variety to the way your receive text-based responses for your interactive quizzes, you can select Short Answer , Fill-in the Blanks and Word Cloud question types from the Inknoe ClassPoint tab on your PowerPoint ribbon, and repeat Step #2 and #3 on the list above to start running these quiz types on your PowerPoint slideshow.
