See it in action
From one sentence to a room playing
Twenty seconds, start to finish: a topic typed in, a question drafted, players joining with a code, answers from phones, then the podium.
Demo video, 21 seconds, no sound. A host types “A 10-question quiz about the solar system”. Ponko shows the question “Which planet is known as the Red Planet?” with four coloured answers. Players join with the game code K7M4PQ. A player taps Mars on their phone and sees “Correct!”. A podium shows the top three. It ends with the Ponko logo and: free to host, no app to install, up to 190 players.
How it works
From idea to live quiz in three steps
Features
Everything you need to run the game
Create
Bring a quiz you already have
Paste rows from a Kahoot-format spreadsheet or a Quizlet export — the format is detected automatically.
Write your own
Build a quiz question by question, no AI required.
Swap one question
Don't like one of the AI's questions? Regenerate just that one; the rest of the draft stays as it is.
Play
Five question types
Multiple choice, true/false, polls, typed answers and ranking.
Speed and streaks
Fast right answers score more, and a run of them earns a bonus.
Shuffled answers
Each player can see the options in a different order, so a neighbour's screen helps far less.
Customize
Your logo
Set it once and every game you host shows it.
Six languages
Use the site in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German or Arabic — each player picks their own.
Public gallery
Share a quiz by link, or list it for others to play.
Who it's for
Made for a room full of people
Live, with everyone answering at once — or at each person's own pace, before a deadline. On the devices they already have.
Classrooms
A quick live check at the end of a lesson, with the whole class answering at once.
- Students join with a code — no accounts, no emails
- See the hardest question and export results to a spreadsheet
- Or send it as homework, with a deadline and a pass mark
Teams
Onboarding, workshops and team days — in the same room or on a video call.
- Players pick their team as they join and score together
- On a call, share your screen and everyone joins from anywhere
- Or send a self-paced quiz for onboarding, with results by department
Events
Quiz nights, parties and big gatherings, with the whole crowd playing along.
- Up to 190 guests join by code or QR, with nothing to install
- Latecomers can still join after the game has started
- End on a podium you can save and share as an image
Self-paced quizzes
Can't all play at once? Send it as a link.
Each person plays alone, on their own phone or computer, whenever suits them before your deadline — homework for a class, a check after a training, onboarding, or a challenge between friends.
A link and a deadline
Share it by WhatsApp, QR code, Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams, with a deadline up to 60 days away.
One try each
Nobody can replay until they know the answers, so the score means something.
Answers stay hidden
By default the right answers appear after the deadline, so they can't be passed around.
A pass mark, if you want one
Players see Passed or Not yet. You see who passed.
Class, team or department
Ask for it as they join, then compare groups in your results.
Results in one place
Who finished, every score and a spreadsheet export — plus a final ranking for everyone, if you choose.
First impressions
What early testers say
The idea is truly unique, and so are the features.
I really enjoy creating my own quizzes, and discovering the ones other people have made.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Yes. Hosting, playing, and AI quiz generation are all free, and there are no paid plans. Ponko is supported by ads on its public pages — never inside a game.
No — anyone can join a game with just a code. Hosting a live game with an existing quiz doesn't require an account either, but generating a quiz with AI, saving it, sharing it publicly and sending a self-paced quiz do.
Ponko runs in the browser, so anything with a current browser works. The usual setup is the host on a laptop connected to a screen or projector, and players on their own phones — but you can host from a phone or tablet too.
Yes — always read them before you play. AI drafts are a starting point and can get facts wrong or word things awkwardly, which is why every question stays editable and nothing is published automatically.
Players give a display name and pick an avatar — that's it, no email and no sign-up. In a self-paced quiz the host can also ask for their class, team or department. That name, their answers and their score are stored with the game so the host can see the results.
No. Data is shared only with the providers needed to run the service, and never sold. Ponko does show ads on its public pages: Google asks for your consent in its own dialog before anything is stored for advertising, and your account, quiz and game content is never given to advertisers.
