The quality of your QuizPal individual quiz questions will go a long way to determining how much people enjoy your quiz and always include some quiz questions which meet most or all of the following criteria.

Challenging
A good quiz question should get people thinking rather than simply saying I know that one and then writing down the answer or giving up and leaving it blank. It doesn't have to be too difficult, but if at least some thought goes into arriving at the answer, then more satisfaction will be gained from hearing it is correct.

Interesting
If the question and answer were stated as a fact then it should be interesting, so that people who didn't get the answer correct will still be interested to hear what the correct answer is.

Popular subject
A good quiz question should have everyone talking about it and discussing possible answers, so it should be on a fairly general subject that is popular with most people.

Guessable
A good quiz question should not be such that only a few people with knowledge on that subject can put an answer down whether it is right or wrong. Even if you don't know or can't work out an answer, then people could make some kind of guess which has the chance of being right, possibly using some knowledge to narrow the guess down to just a few possible answers.
