Tips & Tricks

Anyone can make a quiz game like a Glimpse Game. Really. It’s incredibly easy to get the hang of it. And boy, is it fun to do!


First play a few games to get a feel for what the games can be like.


Before you start think of this:

  1. Who are you targeting?
    • The general public can come from any country and will have had exposure to world culture and history, but not local history/culture.
    • Maybe make a game just for friends and make questions only they can answer.
    • It can be great fun to make a game about a very specific topic, that only a small group of people in the world knows much about.
  2. How difficult do you want your game to be? Not everyone is equally smart.
  3. Preferably make games with 5 questions or more.
  4. A quiz game is more likely to be fun for people if all questions are on one topic.
  5. Alternate timely (longer) questions with quick (shorter) ones.
  6. Vary your questions in difficulty. Noone likes to fail 5 questions in a row.
  7. Try to mix questions that require attention, knowledge or understanding.
    • Attention: “What was the color of the dress the actress was wearing?”
    • Knowledge: “In what year was this album released?”
    • Understanding: “How big of a surface do you need to carry this item?”
  8. Use different answer types throughout your Questions.
  9. Keep your questions rather short. People often don’t have the stomach to wait long to obtain or answer a question.
  10. Share your game on Facebook or on your website after you’re done with it. That way more people get to play it.
