Teachers and history club leaders often know the facts but lack the time to turn them into a quiz where a wrong answer also teaches something. A list of dates on its own does little; the useful part is the explanation that follows each answer and says why the right answer is right. The live sample above is a general quiz on world capitals, and the chat adapts the format to your period, your group and your questions.
What you get
An explanation after every answer
Each question can carry its own explanation, shown once the person answers. A wrong guess about the date of a treaty becomes a short note on what the treaty settled, not just a red cross. Hints are available as well, for a question about causes that needs a nudge toward the right category.
Quizzes that teach
Every question can have a hint and an explanation, and missed questions come back until they are right.
See who knows what

Who uses it
Teachers before a unit test
A teacher covering the Cold War can ask for a practice quiz on dates and causes, with a hint on each question, then send the link to pupils to try before the test.
Students revising for exams
A student revising a period can take the quiz in practice mode and read the explanation after each wrong answer, rather than rereading a whole textbook chapter.
History societies and local groups
A local group running an evening on the Industrial Revolution can use a quiz to open discussion, and the results page shows which questions the room found hardest.
Questions
Can I use this for pupils under 13?
Yes, but check your school's rules on collecting names and email addresses first. You are responsible for what you collect, so ask only for what you need; a quiz can run without a name field.
Does each question get its own explanation?
Yes. The chat writes an explanation for each question, shown after the person answers. Check the facts and dates before you publish, because the explanations are only as accurate as you make them.
Can pupils type the answer instead of choosing one?
Yes. Questions can use typed answers or multiple choice, and you can mix both in the same quiz.
How do I see how the class did?
The results page shows charts for each question and can be downloaded as a CSV. You can also receive an email for each response.
Can I base the quiz on my own lesson material?
Yes. You can attach a document, such as a reader or lesson plan, and the chat builds the questions from it, or you can describe the topic in your own words.
