What Is Bing Quiz?
Bing Quiz is the everyday name for the trivia quizzes that Microsoft runs on Bing.com and on the Microsoft Rewards dashboard. The best known is the Bing Homepage Quiz: every day Bing shows a new background photo — a national park, an animal, a landmark, a festival — and a short multiple-choice quiz asks about the place or story behind that image. Other formats come and go, including fast speed rounds, a weekly news quiz, an entertainment quiz and the “This or That” poll-style quiz. Bing also has an AI quiz tool that writes a quiz on a topic and difficulty you choose; it is separate from the daily quizzes and Microsoft Rewards.
People play Bing quizzes for two reasons: to learn something new in a couple of minutes, and to earn Microsoft Rewards points that can be exchanged for gift cards, Xbox content or charity donations. Because the official quizzes change daily and only appear for signed-in players in supported countries, many players look for two things: a daily quiz they can play anywhere, and the verified answers to the official set. BingQuiz.net provides both.
The daily quiz above is our own, not copied from Microsoft: it is drafted with the help of AI from reference sources, normally Wikipedia’s featured content for the day, and every question comes with three options and a short “Did you know?” explanation, with a link to its source when it comes from Wikipedia. A new set of ten questions goes live every day. Our editorial policy explains how it is made.
How It Works
Playing the daily quiz on BingQuiz.net
- Press Start at the top of this page.

Playing Microsoft's official quizzes
The official quizzes live on Bing.com and the Microsoft Rewards dashboard, and they only pay points when you are signed in with your Microsoft account. The best known is the three-question quiz about the daily Bing photo: check today's Bing Homepage Quiz answers, or practise with our Bing Homepage Quiz challenge, which also shows where to find the official quiz and when it resets.
Every Microsoft Rewards Quiz at a Glance

Microsoft rotates the quiz cards, so you will not see every quiz every day, and the points for each one are shown on its card in the Microsoft Rewards dashboard. Microsoft says earning opportunities such as quizzes and trivia games are updated daily.

Is BingQuiz.net an official Microsoft site?
No. BingQuiz.net is an independent trivia website. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Microsoft or Bing.
Do wrong answers cost Microsoft Rewards points?
It depends on the format. Some quizzes simply let you continue after a wrong pick, while others award points per correct answer, so checking the verified answers first helps you collect the full amount.
Why can't I find the quiz on Bing.com?
Microsoft says the daily quiz appears when you move the mouse into the area under the search box on the Bing homepage, or when you click the headline or credit of the photo. It is not shown in every country or on every screen size, so if you do not see it, sign in and open the quiz card on the Microsoft Rewards dashboard. Bing's photo and quiz can differ by country; the answers on this site are for the U.S. edition.
Why won't the Bing quiz load the next question?
It is a common problem in Microsoft's own help forum. Players usually fix it by clearing the browser cache and cookies, trying another browser or an InPrivate window, turning off extensions, and disconnecting from a VPN or proxy. More fixes, including points that were not credited, are in our Bing Quiz troubleshooting guide.
Does Bing have an AI quiz?
Yes. Bing's AI quiz tool creates a trivia quiz with AI: you pick a topic, such as movies and TV, music, soccer or general knowledge, and a difficulty level. It is separate from the daily Bing Homepage Quiz and does not appear on the Microsoft Rewards dashboard.
