Best Friend Quiz
Build your own eight-question quiz, send the link, and watch your friends find out how much they have actually been paying attention.
Answer eight quick questions about yourself. The tool packs your answers into a link — send it to anyone, and they get the same eight questions to guess at. At the end they see their score and every answer they got wrong.
Your answers travel in the link itself, not through a server. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Anyone who reads the link carefully can see the answers — it is a party game, not a vault.
Your quiz is ready
Send this link to whoever wants to try. It already contains your answers — anyone who opens it gets the same eight questions and a score at the end. Use the share buttons below, or copy the link directly.
You scored
What you got wrong
This is a scored game, not a measurement. No research went into the questions or the scoring, and the result says nothing about you or your relationships that is worth acting on.
What this tool does
This is a quiz builder rather than a fixed quiz. You answer eight questions about your own habits and preferences, and the tool packs those answers into the link itself, in the part of the URL after the hash. Send that link to anyone and they get the same eight questions to guess at, then a score and a list of everything they got wrong.
Two honest limitations. First, the link is not encrypted or obfuscated — your answers are encoded in it in a straightforward way, and anyone who looks closely can read them. That is deliberate: scrambling eight multiple-choice answers would be security theatre on a party game. Second, and more importantly, this measures whether somebody remembers eight facts. It is a memory game about your takeaway order, not a measure of how much anyone cares about you, and the score bands are written to make that clear rather than to sting.
How to use it
- Press Build my quiz and answer the eight questions about yourself.
- When you finish, the page writes your quiz into the address bar and shows you the link. The page you are looking at is the quiz, so the share buttons send the right thing.
- Send the link to a friend. When they open it the quiz starts immediately, and they answer the same eight questions as guesses.
- They get a score out of eight and a breakdown showing which answers they missed and what you had actually picked.
Common use cases
-
A group chat challenge
Drop the link in and let everyone post their scores. The low scores are funnier than the high ones.
-
A new relationship
Eight questions is a low-stakes way to find out how much someone has actually noticed.
-
A long-distance friend
The link travels well over a message and takes about a minute to play, which is the right length for a reply.
-
Testing a claim
When someone insists they know you better than anyone, this is a cheap way to check.
Frequently asked questions
How do my answers get into the link?
They are encoded into the part of the URL after the hash symbol, one digit per question in order. Nothing is sent to a server, which is also why no account is needed and nothing is stored.
Can someone read my answers from the link?
Yes, if they look carefully. The encoding is deliberately simple rather than scrambled, because obfuscating eight multiple-choice answers would be pretending at security on a party game.
Does this measure how good a friend someone is?
No. It measures whether somebody remembered eight facts about you. Scoring badly means they guessed wrong about your cinema snack, and nothing more than that.
Can I take my own quiz?
Reload the page and the quiz starts fresh against your saved answers. The link is for other people.
