What is Daily Trivia?
Daily Trivia is a free daily trivia game that publishes 10 new multiple-choice questions every day at midnight US Eastern Time. Everyone who plays on the same day gets the same questions, which is what makes a score fun to compare.
The daily trivia quiz is short on purpose: ten questions, four answers each, and a one-line explanation after you pick. Most people finish in about five minutes. The mix covers general knowledge, words, entertainment, history, food and drink, geography, and science and nature.
Play in your browser on a phone or a computer — no app and no account. Your score and streak stay in this browser. After today's set, keep going with unlimited trivia, drill one category, or switch to Higher or Lower and Guess the Year.
How to play today's daily trivia
To play today's daily trivia, use the game at the top of this page: press Play, then choose A, B, C, or D for each of the 10 questions. After every pick you will see whether you were right, plus a short explanation, then your score out of 10.
- Open this homepage on the day you want to play.
- Press Play on the daily trivia board above.
- Read the category tag and pick one of the four answers.
- Read the explanation, even when you are correct.
- Finish all 10 questions, then share your score if you like.
- Come back after midnight US Eastern for a new set. A countdown on this page shows the wait.
If you are stuck, or you already finished, open today's hints and answers. Answers stay hidden until you reveal them, so you can check one daily trivia question without spoiling the rest. Previous sets live in the archive once they have been published.
Scoring, time and streaks
Your daily trivia score is one point for each correct answer, for a maximum of 10. The timer on the board does not change that score. It is only there so you can share how long you took. A careful 8/10 and a rushed 8/10 count the same.
Your daily trivia streak counts consecutive days on which you finished the game. Leaving before the last question does not keep it alive. The streak is stored only in this browser, so clearing site data, using a private window, or switching devices resets it. Daily Trivia does not need an account to remember a streak, and it cannot move that streak to another device.
Category quizzes and unlimited trivia do not affect your score or streak. Only finishing the game of the day on its own day counts.
The 7 daily trivia categories
Daily Trivia covers seven categories, and each daily trivia set pulls questions from across them so one weak subject cannot decide the whole quiz. After you play, open any category to practice already published questions, or switch that subject into unlimited trivia for endless rounds.
Endless mode by subject: General Knowledge · Dictionary & Words · Entertainment · History · Food & Drink · Geography · Science & Nature
More games on this site
Besides the daily trivia game, this site also has Higher or Lower, Guess the Year, and unlimited trivia. Each of those games has its own daily round, and those rounds also change at midnight US Eastern Time.
- Higher or Lower asks whether the next number is higher or lower. The daily round is 10 guesses; a miss does not end it. Endless mode ends on the first miss. How to play covers the rules.
- Guess the Year asks you to date a historical event. A daily round has five events (best score 500), from the year 1000 onward. See how to play for the scoring bands.
- Unlimited trivia is the endless version of this multiple-choice quiz. Play mixed rounds or stay in one subject when 10 daily trivia questions are not enough.

Daily trivia vs unlimited trivia
The daily trivia game is one shared 10-question set that goes live at midnight US Eastern Time; unlimited trivia lets you play as many random 10-question rounds as you want. That is the basic split: one set a day versus an endless free trivia queue.
Today's daily trivia is the same for every player, which is why the share card is comparable. Unlimited rounds are mixed from a 175-question bonus bank plus every set already published, and you can play all categories at once or stay in a single subject. Bonus questions are never used as a future daily set, so an unlimited round will not spoil tomorrow's questions.
Use the shared habit when you want a score you can compare. Use unlimited trivia when you want more volume, or when you want to drill general knowledge or another weak category. Your unlimited results do not change your daily trivia streak.
Tips for today's daily trivia
The best way to improve at daily trivia is to read every explanation, then practice the same categories in unlimited trivia. Most missed questions sit in a subject you have not revisited for a while.
- Play today's daily trivia first, before you peek at hints, so the score you share is a clean one.
- Read the explanation on every question, including the ones you get right.
- If one category keeps tripping you, open that category page or its unlimited mode and run a few extra rounds.
- Use the archive when you missed a day. Past daily trivia questions are still worth playing, even though they no longer count for the current streak.

Who daily trivia is for
Daily Trivia is for anyone who wants a short, free daily trivia quiz — including families, classrooms, and people warming up for a pub quiz. You do not need to be a specialist, and you do not need to finish in a record time.
- Families. Today's daily trivia is short enough to play around a table. One person can read the questions aloud.
- Classrooms and study groups. The seven categories make a useful general knowledge warm-up, and unlimited trivia can extend a lesson without changing anyone's streak.
- Pub quiz practice. A weekday daily trivia game is a good habit if you play a weekly trivia quiz.
- Solo players. If you just want a free trivia break that resets every night, the game at the top of this page is the whole product.
Start with today's set, then wander into unlimited trivia or another game only if you still want more.
