So by now you’ve probably seen Slideshow quizzes all over the place on Sporcle. Pretty neat, right? If you’re interested in creating your own Slideshow quiz this is the post you’ve been looking for.

How do I get started making a slideshow quiz?

It’s actually really simple to create a Slideshow quiz, but the tool works very differently than Classic or Clickable games. Remember before you can make quizzes, you need to get a free account on Sporcle.

 

Follow the steps below for complete info and some tips & tricks.

    • Create a New Quiz, and select Slideshow from the ‘Game Type’ dropdown.
    • The Game Info tab is very similar to one you might encounter for Classic/Clickable. Enter the game details here.
    • The Options tab allows you to specify whether or not you force users to answer in order, or if you want them to skip ahead.
    • The Data tab is where things differ from a normal Sporcle quiz. You must add the URL of the image you want to use to the ‘HINT’ column (see example below).

  • Images can be any web image format (GIF, JPG, PNG).
  • You may use the ‘Extra Info’ column in the Data tab to display hints or other text.
  • Though you can use any accessible image URL on the web, we strongly recommend that you host your own images on a separate site. Images taken directly from the web are unreliable as sites go down, have issues, or images load too slowly. An image hosting site like Imgur is free and very dependable, and we’d recommend using that. Sporcle does not provide image hosting.

If you’re still having trouble making your slideshow quiz, we have a Slideshow creation tutorial on our Youtube page.

We’d also love to hear any feedback you have on our slideshow creating tool!
