The Impossible Quiz

An online quiz game that is … almost impossible

The questions are all difficult to answer and require lateral thinking. There are 110 questions to get through and you only have three lives, so make sure you’re ready to think creatively! The Impossible Quiz was originally released in 2007 as an online Flash game. The game was then re-released using HTML5 in 2019.

It is a challenging online trivia game created by British developer Splapp-me-do and released in 2007. Renowned for its difficulty, the game presents 110 unconventional questions that often require lateral thinking and a sense of humor* to solve!

Gameplay Overview: The game features multiple-choice questions, puzzles, and trick questions designed to mislead or surprise players. Many questions involve wordplay, abstract logic, or require players to think outside the box.

Lives System: Players start with three lives. Each incorrect answer results in the loss of a life, and losing all lives ends the game.

Skips and Bombs: Throughout the game, players can earn Skips to bypass particularly challenging questions. However, some questions are timed with bombs, requiring quick responses to avoid an immediate game over.

Fun and References: The game is known for its irreverent humor, including references to popular culture and games, as well as occasional jokes.

Trial and Error: Success often depends on memorization and repeating, as many answers are not immediately apparent and may require unconventional thinking.

Sequels ...: The game's popularity led to sequels, including The Impossible Quiz 2 and The Impossible Quizmas which continue the tradition of challenging and entertaining players with mind-bending questions.

The Impossible Quiz remains a notable example of early internet gaming, celebrated for its creativity and the unique challenge it presents to players.
