Reading your quiz analytics — what the numbers actually tell you

Every play session is recorded with its score, timing and per-question results. Here's how to turn that into better quizzes.

Average score: aim for the middle

If the average score sits above 85%, the quiz is flattering everyone and exciting no one. Below 40%, players leave feeling stupid — they won't share it. The sweet spot for a fun quiz is roughly 55–75%: hard enough to sting, kind enough to invite a retry.

Watch per-question failure rates

One question failed by everyone is not a hard question — it's usually a broken one. The most common causes, in order: an ambiguous stem, a missing accepted spelling on a typed answer, or two options that are both defensibly correct. Fix the question rather than celebrating its difficulty.

Play count vs completion

A quiz that gets opened a lot but finished rarely has a length problem or a first-question problem. Twenty questions is a commitment; the first question is your hook. Put something confident and fun first, never your hardest question.

Use the pass rate deliberately

The passing score (default 60%) turns a score into a verdict — "Passed!" or not. For casual quizzes, keep it achievable; the celebratory screen is what gets shared. For assessment-style quizzes, set it where the stakes genuinely are and let the numbers be honest.
