About us

Welcome to QuizUp. It started as QUIZ-AI, a platform designed to change the way students learn and memorize material, and it has grown into two products: QuizUp Trivia, where you play 1v1 trivia duels across more than 100 topics, and the Quiz Maker, where teachers and creators build their own quizzes.

How it started

Our story begins with Melvyn, a web developer and online educator specializing in React and the broader web ecosystem. While teaching countless students, he identified a significant gap in the e-learning space: the lack of effective tools for creating comprehensive and engaging quizzes.

Melvyn's vision for QuizUp was inspired by the acclaimed book "Make It Stick," which emphasizes the crucial role quizzes play in reinforcing and retaining knowledge. Tired of the limited capabilities of conventional multiple-choice quizzes and longing for a more robust and intuitive editor, Melvyn started developing a prototype to address these issues. This prototype, initially integrated into his e-learning platform Codelynx, evolved into the stand-alone application that became QuizUp.

What QuizUp is today

QuizUp was born out of necessity and built single-handedly by Melvyn to solve his own problems. Today it has two sides:

• QuizUp Trivia: pick a topic, from World Capitals to Harry Potter, and play a duel of 7 questions with 10 seconds each against a real opponent. You can play right away as a guest.
• Quiz Maker: create a quiz with the editor or generate a first draft with AI, share it with a link, and let QuizUp grade the answers, including open questions, so you can track how your students or audience are doing.

We believe quizzes are one of the best ways to make knowledge stick, whether you are competing with a friend or teaching a class. Join us on our mission to make learning more engaging, enjoyable, and fruitful. Here's to learning that sticks!
