Quiz Studio is a self-hosted quiz builder written in PHP, with the full source of its React admin panel and player. Upload it to a hosting plan with PHP and MySQL, follow the installer and start publishing: scored quizzes, personality quizzes, embeds, themes and optional AI drafting, all running on your own server.

Quiz Studio AI connection screen: choose Google Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic, paste your own key and test it.

Start from an idea, with your own AI provider

Connect your own OpenAI, Google Gemini or Anthropic account to draft questions, explanations and a suggested look. Choose the topic, language, type and number of questions and review the draft before publishing. AI is optional, may make mistakes and may incur charges from your provider. Profile quizzes are created by hand.

Quiz Studio effects editor: suspense, sparks and confetti, shake on a wrong answer, streaks and more, each switchable per theme, with a live phone preview.

Make every answer a moment

Suspense before the reveal, sparks and confetti, a shake on a wrong answer, a streak glow, a result reveal and extra sounds can each be switched off per theme, with a live preview next to the controls.

Eleven themes, eight layouts

Pick a look for each quiz and change colours, fonts and backgrounds, for the whole site or per quiz. Text on quiz cards and answer buttons is adjusted automatically to meet WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1).

Keep the answer a surprise

Right and wrong are decided on your server: the browser does not receive the answer key in advance. You can reveal feedback only at the end. Note that the speed bonus uses the player's own clock.

Questions

Which hosting do I need?

Any hosting with PHP 8.1 or newer and MySQL 8 or MariaDB 10.6 or newer, which covers most shared plans. Create an empty database, upload the contents of upload/ and open the address: the installer does the rest.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You upload files and follow the installer; everything else happens in the admin panel. The source is included for those who want to change it.

Can I add a quiz to my existing site?

Yes. Each quiz has an embed code you can paste into any page; the frame adjusts its height to the quiz.

Is AI required?

No. It is optional. You paste your own provider key and it may incur charges from that provider; nothing is sent to us.

Is there a monthly fee?

No subscription to us. Quiz Studio runs on your own hosting.
