Import questions from a spreadsheet

In Add questions, tap “Have a spreadsheet? Import a file”, then drop in an Excel, CSV or JSON file. Check the questions and tap Import.

Importing works on every plan, including free.

  1. 1

    Choose to import a file

    On your host screen at quizzy.earth/host, tap Questions, then Add questions. Below the four tiles, tap Have a spreadsheet? Import a file.

  2. 2

    Get the example file

    Tap Download example file for a spreadsheet with the columns Quizzy reads and sample questions.

  3. 3

    Upload your file

    Drag your file onto the upload box, or tap the box to pick it. Excel, CSV and JSON work, up to 5MB and 1,000 questions.

  4. 4

    Check the questions

    Quizzy marks any question with errors or warnings. Tap Remove on any you don’t want.

  5. 5

    Add them to your game

    Tap Import. The questions join your game’s question list.

Which columns does the file need?

One question per row, with a question, two to four options, and the right answer in “Correct Answer” as a letter, such as B, or the option’s full text. The full set of columns is Question, Option A to Option D, Correct Answer, Did You Know, Explanation and Image URL.

Can I reuse questions from a quiz I’ve saved?

Yes. Its card in Saved Quizzes has Download CSV, which saves a spreadsheet you can edit and import again.

What if my file won’t import?

Quizzy says what went wrong under the upload box, and how to fix it. Most often the first row is missing the heading Question, or the file isn’t a spreadsheet. Tap Download example file, copy your questions into it, and upload that.

Can the headings be in my language?

Yes, in any language Quizzy speaks. In Spanish, for example, Pregunta, Opción A and Respuesta correcta all work. Headings in other languages aren’t recognised, so if in doubt, use the headings from the example file.
