Sporcle is a range of quizzes on everything from Simpsons Characters, Countries of Africa or even Famous People Named Bob. The quizzes vary in length from 1 minute up to around 15 minutes and are great fun. Try ‘em out.
Originally begun as a sports pick’em site, Sporcle changed directions with the response to the first quiz, U.S. Presidents. As avid crossword, Jeopardy! and trivia fans, we created that original quiz not only to test knowledge, but also as a way to learn a piece of information that seemed to come up again and again.
