The Impossible Quiz is an online quiz built around lateral thinking and trick questions. Across 110 questions you get four answers each, only one of which counts, and many of the right choices are abstract jokes or logic puzzles hiding in plain sight. Made by Splapp-me-do, it first appeared as a Flash game in 2007 and returned as an HTML5 version in 2019. You play free in the browser on desktop and mobile, clicking the answer you think is correct.

Why the questions trick you

The quiz rewards reading between the lines. A question may look like simple arithmetic but actually depend on a pun, the wording of the prompt, or something hidden elsewhere on the screen. Treating each puzzle as a riddle rather than a straight question is how you make progress, since the obvious answer is usually the wrong one.

Lives, skips, and the final question

You start with 3 lives, and a wrong answer costs one. You also carry 7 skips that let you pass a question you cannot crack. Spend them carefully: question 110 demands all 7 skips at once, so any skip you burn earlier leaves you unable to clear the ending. Reaching the last question is only half the challenge if your skip count is short.

Beating the bomb timers

Some questions include a ticking time bomb. Once it appears you have only seconds to lock in an answer before it detonates and ends your run. These moments reward recognizing the correct choice fast rather than puzzling it out, so it helps to know the answer pattern before the timer starts.

Controls

Input is simple even when the questions are not. You select answers with the mouse, which keeps the focus on figuring out each puzzle.
