How do quizzes usually get featured?

Submitted by TheBlueElephant on December 4, 2025
I'm aware of the whole nomination process, but I don't think I would make anything great enough to reach the top of the leaderboard. I've heard other Jetpunk quizzes are featured for "creativity". What does this mean? Does Quizmaster have to randomly find your quiz? Or...

Either way, I'd like to try to get this quiz featured at some point. I don't think anything like it has been tried before.

Most of the stuff I make is way too hard to be featured, but this one seems like the right material. (still might have to tweak the difficulty a little bit.)

As a general suggestion, I suggest not to post your own quizzes saying that they should be featured, as it seems kind of selfish since basically everyone thinks that their quizzes should get featured and there’s like thousands of quizzes that are also good enough to be featured.

However, I myself have done this before— so don’t take this as a like “don’t post your quizzes to get featured, they’re bad, and you’re bad” but just take it as a suggestion!

Hopefully that didn’t come across rude

Well I never claimed "It should be featured". I would LIKE to get it featured, but I also understand what you mean, self promo is kinda dumb

It is okay if you post 2 times in a day, just not low quality spam-like posts.

The answer to your question is the Quizmaster. I don't know his ways of discovering them but he does

Aside from the nomination system Quizmaster could select your quiz (which is much more common then getting a feature from nominations, honestly). Really you just have to make a good quiz and a creative idea.

Don't know how Quizmaster finds them, that's a QM question lol

I would suggest just making quizzes you enjoy, not actively trying to get a Feature. If you really do make a creative and unique quiz, there's a good chance QM takes notice, and others might too.

Also, idk how you're adding the flags to your quizzes, but they ain't showing up for me. Also, there are a few quizzes about the topic already, again emphasizing the idea of "uniqueness".

oh yeah for sure, I always make stuff that's interesting to me!

The flags are hosted on postimages and entered with html. I think these one's just take a long time to load if your internet or hardware isn't great.

I also was being kinda stupid before and only looked at featured quizzes, I later realized there's a couple that are formatted exactly like mine (and actually load well :sob:)

Here's how I look for quizzes to feature.

1) I look at nominations

2) I look at spotlights

3) I look at the email I get every day with all the new quizzes from dozens of people I subscribe to

4) I hit the random button a lot

5) I look at a report of which quizzes bring new traffic into the site (sadly, almost no one seems to promote off site).

6) I look at a list of most taken non-featured quizzes

7) I look at a list of highest-rated non-featured quizzes

Hope this helps! It's a lot tougher to get quizzes featured these days, I know.

Also I try to promote, just not with quizzes. I usually ask people on other games if they want to try JetPunk. No idea if it works or not but it is worth a try

would promoting quizzes in other places offsite help bring up your chances then?

well generally I would consider it bad form to spam a public forum, especially if you're asking for attention on a quiz like I was.
