Creating interactive quizzes with Google Home Assistant is a fun way to engage friends, family, or even students.

Using Google Assistant’s ability to respond to questions and give feedback, you can design quizzes for entertainment or learning.

Here’s how to create and use interactive quizzes effectively.

Step 1: Use Google Actions or Third-Party Apps

Google Home Assistant supports Actions on Google, which allows you to create custom apps for quizzes. Alternatively, you can use pre-existing third-party apps or games to make the process easier.

1. Pre-Built Quiz Apps:
   • Say:
     • “Hey Google, let’s play a trivia game.”
     • “Hey Google, start a quiz.”
   • Google will suggest pre-built trivia or quiz games like Trivia Blast or Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
2. Custom Quizzes with Actions on Google:
   • Create your quiz using Google Dialogflow or platforms like Voiceflow to design interactive question-and-answer flows.

Step 3: Use Google Forms with Assistant Integration

For a simpler option, you can use Google Forms to create a quiz and share the link through Assistant:

1. Create a Google Form
   • Go to Google Forms and design your quiz.
   • Add questions and assign correct answers for automatic grading.
2. Link the Form to Google Assistant
   • Use a URL shortener to create a simple link (e.g., bit.ly).
   • Say: “Hey Google, open [your quiz name] form.”

Step 4: Add Quizzes to Routines

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. Go to Routines and create a new routine.
3. Add an action: “Start [quiz name].”
4. Save the routine and activate it with a custom command, like “Hey Google, let’s take a quiz!”
