Getting started
On OneDayQuiz you’ll find lots of general knowledge quizzes, and you can compete with other players on the various leaderboards (Overall, Average, Time, etc.).
There are currently 9 quiz types , each with slightly different rules, all fairly intuitive.
So if you don’t want to waste any more time and just want to start playing, pick a quiz type and then choose one of the available quizzes. You’ll figure out the rest as you play.
But watch out! In some quiz types, you only get a high grade if you answer within a few seconds… so keep an eye on the clock!
