Where to paste it
Where to paste it
- WordPress
- Add a Custom HTML block (or switch a paragraph to Edit as HTML) and paste the whole snippet. Works on wordpress.com Business plans and every self-hosted site; the resize script is allowed in Custom HTML.
- Substack
- Substack strips iframes from posts. Paste the link line instead, or add a Button block pointing at the quiz URL — the link unfurls into a BrainPickle preview card with the topic and question count, and readers play in one tap.
- Notion
- Type /embed, paste the iframe URL only (the part inside src="…"), and drag the handle to around 560px tall. Notion does not run the resize script, so pick a height that fits a question.
- Google Sites
- Insert → Embed → Embed code, paste the whole snippet. The resize script runs inside the Sites sandbox, so the quiz grows to fit.
- Ghost
- Add an HTML card and paste the whole snippet. In newsletter emails Ghost drops iframes, so the credit line (or the link line) is what subscribers see; on the web post the quiz plays inline.
- Anything else
- Squarespace Code block, Webflow Embed, Wix HTML iFrame, Medium (link only), a plain HTML page: paste the snippet wherever HTML is allowed, the link line where it isn't.
Options: add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the iframe URL to match your page, and ?round=2 for the next ten questions of a long quiz. The embed is a single round of ten, auto-advances, sets no cookies, and shows no ads.
Good to know
Good to know
- Is it really free?
- Yes. BrainPickle is ad-supported and has no paid tier. The only ask is that you keep the credit line that links back to us.
- Where do the questions come from?
- Each question is written with a cited source, checked by an automated validator, and removed if players report it. How we verify questions.
- Can I embed a quiz on a topic you don’t have?
- Generate one first — it gets a slug you can pick here. Want it on paper instead? Every quiz is also a printable PDF.
- Building something bigger?
- The developer page covers the daily-question script widget, Slack, Alexa, and the Chrome extension.
