How to Create a Level Sorted Trivia Game for the Family
If you’re of a certain age and ilk, you might remember spending a few nights hunched over a colorful game board playing Trivial Pursuit. For decades, this game of categories, questions, and pies was commonplace on university campuses and family get togethers. Testing your recall while collecting plastic pieces was incredibly fun though some of the questions were pretty tough. Unless you majored in political science, for instance, you might not know that Fredrich Engels worked with Karl Marx to co-author The Communist Manifesto. The range of questions was sometimes off putting if some family members just weren’t built for the game’s test of archaic knowledge.
AIPRM and ChatGPT can fix that problem by leveling the playing field. Now everyone can join a family night of trivia fun by using a prompt to create questions suitable for every player. By suitable I mean age, experience, and education appropriate. So, for instance, if dad is a fan of American film noir, enter a prompt to create questions in that domain. If the kids are in elementary school, enter a prompt to generate questions about grade 4 science or social studies. Everybody has fun, feels challenged at the right level, and nobody gets a question about The Beatles’ first drummer.
How to play #
There are many possibilities. If you have one tablet or smartphone, one team member loads the AIPRM and ChatGPT page and enters the prompt (see below for suggestions). Ask a few questions and then pass the device over to the next team or player. They enter a fresh prompt and ask questions. And so it goes.
Running a prompt #
- Log into ChatGPT.
- On the AIPRM dashboard, click the Public tab.
- Go to the search field and enter Quiz Generator.
- Select the prompt.
- Go to the input field and enter prompt instructions. (see below)
- Click the Send Message button.
Suggested prompt #
Here’s a suggested prompt template. Modify as required.
Create 6 questions about grade 4 elementary science. Two questions are open ended, two questions are True-False, and two questions are multiple choice (a, b, c).
This prompt template can aid game play in three ways. A variety of question types keps game players engaged. It also gives the reader two options for each question type, which can inject a competitive spirit into the game because some questions will be harder than others. Finally, three questions per reader seems like a good number to keep the game fresh and give everyone a chance to create and read questions.
That’s it.
Now you know how to play a trivia game with AIPRM.
