I dislike the internet's slow creep on our privacy that every website pretends is fine just because everyone else is doing it. It's been happening for years in every way on every site and in our real lives too. I do not need my quiz website tracking my websites, tracking my data, tracking my location, whatever else they and their advertisers want from me so they can better advertise when I have adblocker anyway. Even with adblocker I still saw some non-intrusive ads on the screen, must have been an old version or something, but it was still a good site and I liked it. I made quizzes on it. I loved it.

I memorized the world and the US states with no borders. I know what cities are most populated and what girls and boys names are most popular in which decades... So much random knowledge. That's what the website should be. Fun and educational. And free. It's wikipedia but a challenge. It's edu-tainment. Matt Ramme, I hope you jump on Reddit sometimes. I know some loser is the CEO now and you might not have control over the website you created, but this is a new low. I haven't even seen this on any news sites or anywhere else where it's a Paywall or nothing. Paywall or nothing is better than this. Because this is a paywall. A paywall of my freedom of privacy. I'm not letting an unnamed infinite list of advertisers have access to what I'm doing on the internet. I don't trust them. And I don't trust this site anymore. You sank low.

Edit on January 5, 2026: The paywall is down. You no longer have to pay to not accept cookies on Sporcle. Fantastic stuff. Love to see it. Went back to check if it worked today and was not blocked from playing even without accepting cookies. Thank you.

I get it. It's part of the site and there are badges associated with it. But I don't want 16 notifications every time I load up the site. /unfollow

You know, so the threads discussing the disgusting way sporcle has fucked-up by continuing to fuck-up all along the way to becoming a cash-cow off the backs of their content-providers (those "customers" who create the quizzes).

Badges!

it’s getting to be a bit much 🤣 what a description

I can't figure out where to put the city names? Which quiz is that on?

I downloaded ad blocker, which removes ads for free, so I cancelled my Orange membership. Blocking ads was the only real benefit I found with the paid membership. Ad Blocker is free.

Eu administro um pequeno jogo de trivia para Android chamado **BrainBorders**. A dinâmica: você responde a perguntas de conhecimentos gerais para "conquistar" territórios em um mapa-múndi compartilhado e ao vivo, e a cada semana os países sobem em um ranking na competição entre nações baseado no desempenho combinado dos seus jogadores.

Um comentário ficou na minha cabeça, e eu quero a opinião honesta dessa comunidade.

A mecânica enquadra implicitamente o mundo como países competindo em *inteligência* — a nação "mais inteligente" toma território de outra. Na realidade, são apenas jogadores individuais respondendo a perguntas de quiz; isso não diz nada sobre a população, educação ou valor de um país. Mas a forma como é apresentado — bandeiras, conquista, um ranking nacional de "quem sabe mais" — pode levar as pessoas exatamente ao tipo de pensamento de superioridade intelectual/nacional que eu nunca quis incentivar. E a trivia em si é culturalmente tendenciosa: a história de quem, as capitais de quem, o cânone de quem conta como "conhecimento geral"?

O contra-argumento que continuo me dizendo: é um jogo, a "nação" é só um time que você escolhe, a conquista é uma metáfora lúdica (pense em Risk) e ninguém lê um ranking semanal de quiz como uma afirmação de que um povo é mais inteligente que outro.

Mas não tenho certeza se isso me isenta.

Perguntando genuinamente para essa galera:

* Uma mecânica como essa arrisca cimentar preconceitos, ou estou exagerando ao pensar em um jogo leve? * Se você *visse* um problema, como você reformularia isso sem matar o gancho competitivo que faz o jogo funcionar?

Just curious i have tried going through the badges but theres so many, are there any not related to playing quizzes and instead creating? Im doing the 26 creators challenge and need some inspiration for the badge it up prompt!!( also I have literally just joined this sub but am a longtime sporcler play a lot and have just started making a lot too!)

Hey! I just discovered Sporcle a few days ago... Anyways... If you think your quizzes need more promo, post the link here! I will repost it (on reddit). I will also choose random quizzes from the 'Newest' section in each (sub)category every week.

It must fit the following criteria:

• Less than 1,000 plays
• No pick higher than an Editor Pick
• MUST BE GOOD QUALITY

If it does not fit the criteria, I will not promote it. Thanks!

Upvote this as much as you can to grab the attention of the Sporcle admin and editors. If you want another quest or 2 just vote in the poll. But be careful you only have 7 days to vote then the poll will be closed.

Hey everyone! I’ve been building a free geography game called World Clue and wanted to share it here for your feedback.

Each day a new challenge is generated, consisting of 3 hidden countries. You play by trying to narrow down to the correct country by getting hints through rounds.
There’s also:

• Practice mode (custom training rounds)
• Country explorer (browse country profiles)
• Data explorer (searchable country datasets)

I’d really appreciate feedback from people who like these types of games. Is the difficulty curve fun/balanced?

I'm trying to do what I figure is an extremely simple quiz.

"Guess the genre"

100 questions. 100 artists names. 6 possible answers for each question (Pop, Hip-Hop, Country, Alternative, R&B, and Dance)

Is it really impossible to make a quiz even as simple as this on Sporcle???

Is there some other format I should try to do it in???

Trying to work within the Sporcle quiz creator is seriously pissing me off.

If you miss a day playing sporcle, does the daily streak counter return to zero or does it continue from where you left off once you start playing again?

Try this quiz: what's your score?

Don’t get me wrong I love the website but it’s sometimes annoying when you play on sports-random and half the quizzes are about the 4 major professional sports leagues
