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.
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 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.

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.
