Silly Quiz
About this game
Silly Quiz is not testing what you know. A cartoon doctor asks you a question, the answers look straightforward, and the correct one usually takes the wording literally. It belongs to the family of deliberately unfair quiz games people share with friends to watch them fail.
The trick is nearly always in the phrasing. A question about what colour something is might really be asking about a word in the sentence. A maths question might not be a maths question. Once you answer the question actually written, your hit rate climbs, and levels that felt impossible turn obvious in hindsight.
How to stop falling for it:
- Re-read the question word for word before you click anything.
- Treat the obvious answer as a trap until you have checked the wording.
- Failed a level? Jump straight back to it from the Select Level screen.
That level select is why failing does not send you back to the start. You pick the level you got stuck on and try again, which suits a game where the first attempt at any question is mostly a guess. Runs can be as short as one level. The art is cartoon and the humour is silly, with nothing crude in it. For more in the same vein on WTF Games, The World's Easyest Game is another joke quiz built on the same idea, TRIVIA NATION is the straight general knowledge option, and WITZ io puts quiz questions into a race.
Silly Quiz FAQ
Is Silly Quiz a real knowledge quiz?
No. It is a trick question game, so the answers depend on reading the wording literally rather than on knowing facts.
How do you beat the harder levels?
Read the question exactly as written instead of the question you expect. The joke is usually in the phrasing, not in the subject.
Can you replay a level you failed?
Yes. The Select Level screen lets you jump back to any level, so failing does not restart the whole game.
Is Silly Quiz free to play?
Yes. It runs in your browser on wtfgames.io with no download and no account, and it works on a school Chromebook.
