This is quite a popular game in Flickr groups and I think it could work here too. Just look through the profile of the last person to post, find a quiz you like and submit a link to it. The next person looks through your profile and posts a link to one of your quizzes and so on. Hopefully we'll end up with a list of great, hand picked quizzes for people to look through.

Be sure to post a link to your own profile as well as the game you choose.

To get the ball rolling, I'll pick a quiz by Matt (the guy who created Sporcle). Poster 2 will pick one of my quizzes, poster 3 will pick one of poster 2's quizzes etc. Obviously you can only really take part if you've made quizzes. Also feel free to make some comment explaining why you picked the quiz you did. Feel free to pick from either Published or Contributed games. Just pick something you like.

I'm picking '90s Video Games by Matt just purely for the nostalgia it gives me. So many great games I loved as a kid in that quiz.

Ooh sounds fun. Okay:

I'm picking Babelfish Movies by bazmerelda because it's both challenging and hilarious.
My turn! smreidy113

This'll be awesome. Can we post more than once?

I'm picking Countries Bad for Wheel of Fortune by smreidy113 because I love thinking about countries and how they are spelled.

Cool idea, Bazmerelda.

Here's 20 Bald Guys by BanjoZebra.  I chose it because I like picture quizzes and I'm headed that direction...bald, that is.

My pick for BuddyBoy would be Sporcle Memory Minefield, I thought it was fun and challanging, when you first play it, you think it will be boring, but its a lot more fun than you may think!

My pick for Toby123 would be the Bible Book Imposter Minefield. I like all of the "fake answer" quizzes that came along with clickable games, and that one is both a novel idea and the decoy answers show true creativity.

My pick for you Dru, is  http://www.sporcle.com/games/druhutch/cluedo, The Great Sporcle Mystery. It is very clever and fun and it must have taken so long to make! The fact that 36.6% got them all right as well is a very good sign for a quiz that takes so long to complete as it means that the quiz takers have all really gotten into it. Again I like this quiz alot :P!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to more closely examine the RobPro repertoire!... I'm sure RobPro has a wealth of awesome games that deserve to be mentioned here... So I'm going to go the route of which "underplayed" game should have gotten a lot more play? http://www.sporcle.com/games/RobPro/smile is simple game, clearly made just-for-fun; but I appreciated it, and I understand how much work actually went into making it, having done some picture-style quizzes.

I love math quizzes and this was done really well! I also have a soft-spot to it since I've done quizzes with that format too.

My favorite vikZ quiz is his most played:

I also thought Click the Keyboard was really clever.

Always fun to see the new formats people come up with.

I like this game because it mixes a word game with general trivia. The game also has a good mix of several categories. There is also 'sister' game of Alphabetically Last.

BanjoZebra - Feel free to post multiple times, just as long as the thread isn't getting spammed by one person coming up every second comment.

Here is a topical one I liked by bowsntoys: Countries with no Olympic Medals (Clickable) - I watched a Lithuanian win a medal last night and I still clicked on it!

I liked I'll Guess Your South American Country - Suriname was obviously my pick.

My stuff is pretty niche specific and little creativity but you do have 21 options :-)

I'm gonna have to go with Flintstones Characters by Image, despite only getting 4 out of 10. Needless to say, there was some cursing when I saw some of the answers I missed, haha!


I've mainly created games related to movies but I've dabbled in other categories as well.

I'm gonna go with Highest Grossing Movie Franchises, as much for the amount of work that went into it as well as the subject. I thought I did pretty well, but I knew and had heard of all the answers I missed!

@Cryptus:
I haven't played your quizzes that much, but I saw your published game about Roman Numeral math and played it just now and liked it. (V globes!)

This is my page, AuroraIllumina. I have no published quizzes so far...

Hey! I am more of a geography guy and pretty much do horrible on every single music quiz. But I gave it a go on some of your quizzes. Maybe you were hoping for a more exotic answer, but I really enjoyed this one. I can easily understand why so many others enjoy it as well. It's a great idea, and that creative twist with hiding some of the artists was perfect! I do say I think the colors are a bit...not my style. Maybe to many varieties of colors not really fitting next to each other? However, I find it a very, very good quiz! (And yes, I went straight on the "Imagine" trap!)

I liked it so much I nominated it...way to have us take ownership in a game!   Great Job.

popestcyril, I'd have to go for a tie between Flowers, Etymology of Names and Mythical Geography. I'm really interested in etymology and mythology, and you must have put in a lot of time and effort to create the quizzes (particularly the latter one). :)

Alright, I'll go another round.

I choose Occupational Surnames by triplet_3.  It was fun to play, but it was even more interesting to read the origin for some of the non-obvious answers.

For hscer I'd have to go w/ Word Clouds (from Wikipedia Articles) and Onion Story or Real Story?, although there's definitely a lot to choose from.
