Make Your Quiz Quotastic

Answer: "The Last Days of Disco" Quotes

Movie titles need to have quotation marks around them when they are not stand-alone. Since the word "Quotes" is used in the quiz title, the movie title, and only the movie title, needs quotation marks. In addition, all major words in your quiz title, as well as in your movie title, should be capitalized. There are many mixed quote quizzes online, so make yours stand out by being creative with your title.

Answer: True

Quizzes based on quotes from a particular movie belong in the subcategory for that movie, or under the proper alphabetical subcategory if there is no subcategory for the movie itself. Quizzes on quotes from various movies which all pertain to a particular actor belong in the appropriate "People Themed" subcategory in Movies. Always place your quiz in the most specific subcategory available.

Answer: Which Movie

The subcategory for your mixed quotes quiz will depend on what kind of questions are being asked. If each question asks a player to name a movie, the subcategory would be "Which Movie", if the questions ask what character or actor said a quote, the subcategory would be "Who Said It". "Finish The Quote" would be for questions which ask players to select a missing word(s) in the quote. For a quotes quiz with a variety of questions, choose the "Movie Quotes Mixture" subcategory. Please don't put your "Which Movie" quiz into one of the subcategories for difficulty levels, this will be done later after your quiz has been played awhile.

Answer: No

Fun Trivia is a family-oriented site and does not allow profanity, even when it's disguised with *s, -s, or by putting (bleep) or something similar in place of the word(s). If you submit your quiz with profanity, or disguised profanity, it will be rejected outright and you will be asked to replace the question with another.

Answer: It needs to include a question.

You need to actually "ask" a question so that players will know what is expected of them, especially if the question should be used on one of the hourly or tournament games. Be sure to vary how you ask these questions so the quiz doesn't become boring to players.

Answer: Which character in "Playing by Heart" said, "Don't look at me with that tone of voice"?

Quotations, whether stand-alone or not, need to have quotation marks around them. You can use either single (') or double (") quotation marks in your quiz as long as you keep it consistent. Movie titles should always be in quotation marks, unless they are stand-alone, whether you use them in questions, interesting information sections or quiz titles.

Answer: True

Under the quiz creation notes for Movies you will find a section for restricted quotes. There you will see a list of quotes which have been used in so many previous quizzes that they are no longer allowed. An editor can still disallow a particular quote if it is not on the list, if that quote has been used many times.

Answer: No

Interesting Information on quote questions needs to identify the quote in the context of the movie. You need to explain who said it, when it was said, to whom, why, and what the response was. This information can be added to either the question or the interesting information.

Answer: The verb tense is inconsistent.

Either past or present verb tense is fine, as long as it remains consistent throughout the quiz. The example shown uses both past and present tense in the first sentence ('said' and 'are'), and the rest of it switches between tenses. Also, be sure to use proper capitalization and punctuation, as well as complete sentences.

Answer: A brief plot description

Questions which ask players to name a movie should also include a brief description of the plot. A brief synopsis is fine because the emphasis should be on explaining the details of the quote. The plot description can be added to the question or interesting information section.
