How to Create a Friendship Quiz and Share the Link

FriendQuiz Team | 28 March 2026 · updated 12 October 2026

A friendship quiz, often called a BFF test, is a short quiz about you that your friends try to answer. You set ten questions about yourself, mark the right answers and send out a link. Each friend who opens it guesses and gets a score out of 10. You finally find out who has really been listening all these years.

This guide covers the whole process: building the quiz, getting your link, choosing questions that sound like you, sharing it so people actually answer, answering a quiz a friend sent you, and reading the scores without starting a fight in the group chat.

From your name to a shareable link

Everything happens in your browser, on your phone or laptop. Here is how it works on FriendQuiz.

Type your name. Use the name your friends actually call you. When the quiz lands in a busy group chat, people should know straight away whose it is.
Look through the 10 suggested questions. The site gives you ten questions about yourself, such as your favorite food, your favorite season or your biggest fear. Each one already has four answer options filled in.
Keep or rewrite each question. You can leave a question as it is or change it completely. You can also change any of the four options. A question you don't care about can become one about your favorite anime or the school subject you never get bored of.
Mark the correct answer for every question. You can't skip this step. The site needs to know the right option for each of the ten questions, or it can't score your friends.
Get your link. When all ten are ready, the site gives you a link to your quiz. Anyone who opens that link can play.

Keep the link somewhere safe

The link is the one thing you can't do without, so look after it. Copy it as soon as it appears and paste it into a chat with yourself on WhatsApp, or into a note on your phone. Then you can send it to your cousins tonight and your college group tomorrow without making a second quiz.

As friends answer, your page lists their names and their scores, so you can see who has played.

Making the ten questions sound like you

The suggested questions are a handy starting point, but everyone gets the same ones. In 26.7% of quizzes made on this site, the creator replaced at least one suggested question with one of their own. So most quizzes go out with the default set. That's fine. Still, even one or two questions that only your own friends could answer make the quiz feel like yours.

If you're stuck, look at what other creators wrote. Among questions that creators on this site wrote themselves in English, the most frequent were “What is my favorite series?” (126 quizzes), “What is my favorite anime?” (101), “Which country was I born in?” (83) and “Which state was I born in?” (72). Favorite subject, favorite sport and dream job also made the list. A few more ideas that work almost anywhere:

Your usual order on a chai or bubble tea break
The team you shout for during a cricket or football match
What you always do on a long train or bus ride: sleep, snack or play music too loud
The dish you look forward to most at Diwali, Eid or Christmas
The tuition or coaching class you'd skip first if nobody was checking

Mix easy questions with tricky ones

In a small 36-hour sample of answers on this site, friends got “Which city was I born in?” right 73.9% of the time, more often than any other suggested question. The hardest was “What is my biggest fear?”, answered correctly only 47.5% of the time. One possible reading is that where you were born comes up early in a friendship, while fears rarely come up in conversation. Either way, a good quiz has both kinds. A couple of easy questions mean nobody ends up with nothing. A couple of hard ones show who really knows you.

Check the pre-filled options

The four options that come with each suggested question are only placeholders. The birth-city question, for example, offers London, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. If your real answer isn't there, type it over one of the options and mark it as correct. In quizzes on this site, creators have typed in their own answers such as Chennai for birth city, Biriyani for food and Monsoon for season.

Also make sure the answer you mark really is yours, not just the option that happened to be at the top. Make the three wrong options believable too. If your drink is masala chai, putting cold coffee, mango lassi and bubble tea next to it makes friends think. Putting “motor oil” next to it does not.

Getting the link in front of the right people

A quiz only becomes fun once someone opens it. Of the quizzes created on this site in our data period, 34.8% received no friend answers at all. On the other hand, 65.2% got at least one answer and 17.4% got five or more. So sharing deserves as much thought as the questions.

Post where people already talk. Your class or college WhatsApp group, the hostel or PG group, your tuition batch: wherever people are chatting anyway.
Add one line with the link. A bare link is easy to scroll past. Try something like: “Made a quiz about me. 10 questions. Let's see who actually listens when I talk.”
Send it to a few people directly. Group messages get buried. A personal message to your closest friends, with “you'd better get full marks”, is hard to ignore.
Pick a good moment. A long bus ride, the break between classes, or a family get-together when everyone is on their phones anyway.
Remind once, then stop. One friendly nudge a day later is fine. Five reminders in an hour is how a quiz gets muted.

At a sleepover or a party, you can all play at the same time. Share the link, let everyone open it on their own phone, and compare scores when the last person finishes.

Got a quiz link from a friend?

If someone sent you their quiz, here is what happens. Tap the link and it opens in your browser, with nothing to install. You answer the 10 questions about your friend, and at the end you see your score out of 10.

Your name and score then appear on your friend's page, so use a name they'll recognize. If you use a nickname nobody knows, they won't be able to thank you or tease you.

A few tips for answering:

Don't message them for the answers. It spoils the game for both of you.
Go with your first instinct when you're unsure. Overthinking “favorite color” rarely helps.
Afterward, go through the questions together. “Wait, your biggest fear is public speaking? Since when?” is a better conversation than any score.

When you're done, create your own quiz and send it back. Then you'll find out whether your friend knows you as well as you know them.

Reading the scores without starting a fight

Expect scores in the middle. In quizzes made on this site, the most common friend score is 6/10, which makes up 17.3% of results, and only 8.2% of results are a perfect 10/10. More broadly, 7/10 or more covers 38.3% of results and 4/10 or less covers 28.0%.

So if your closest friend lands somewhere in the middle, that's normal. It doesn't mean they don't care. They may know you from a different part of your life, your favorites may have changed since school, or one of your wrong options may have been a little too convincing.

Some ways to keep it friendly:

Don't post a screenshot of your page just to call out the lowest scorer in the group.
Treat a low score as a gap to fill, not a mistake to punish. Ask which questions tripped them up and tell the story behind the answers.
Celebrate the surprise high scores too. The quiet classmate who nearly got everything right deserves a chai.
Remember the quiz checks ten facts, not a whole friendship. Someone who would stay up all night helping you before an exam may still not know your favorite anime.

Quick answers before you begin

Does it cost anything?

No. Making a quiz and answering one are both free.

Do my friends need an app?

No. The quiz works in the browser, so anyone with the link can open it on a phone or computer.

Can I change a question I don't like?

Yes. While you build your quiz, you can keep or rewrite any of the ten questions and any of the four options under each one. Just mark the correct answer for every question, and read all ten through once more before you share the link.

Where can I see who answered?

Your quiz page lists the names of the friends who answered, with their scores out of 10.

What does my friend see at the end?

Their own score out of 10.

Where these numbers come from

All figures in this guide come from quizzes created on friendquiz.co between 30 July 2026 and 12 October 2026 (database snapshot 12 October 2026 00:08:42 UTC). That covers 27,051 quizzes and 70,151 friend results. One friend answering one quiz counts as one result.

The easiest and hardest questions come from a separate, much smaller sample. Answers to individual questions were stored only for about 36 hours (6-7 October 2026), for a feature that showed creators which option each friend picked. Friends were told the creator could see their choices. That sample holds 5,627 friend results on 1,776 quizzes and 56,215 individual answers, so treat it as a rough guide.

The list of questions that creators wrote themselves counts English wordings only, each used in at least 30 quizzes. Some frequent own questions were written in Indonesian or Spanish and are not in that list. Questions containing a person's name were left out, and spelling variants were counted separately.

Only anonymous totals were used, with no names and no personal fields. These numbers describe what happened on the site. They don't explain why it happened.
