Overview

This skill generates sports trivia questions tailored by sport, era, and difficulty, producing ready-to-use formats for quizzes, pubs, classrooms, and social posts. It combines obscure statistics, fun facts, and clear answer explanations so questions educate as well as entertain. Outputs include multiple choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank items with difficulty ratings and sourcing suggestions.

How this skill works

Provide the target sport(s), era or year range, desired difficulty (easy/medium/hard), number of questions, and preferred formats. The skill selects notable moments and obscure stats from that scope, crafts question stems, generates plausible distractors for multiple choice, and writes concise answer explanations with context. It can also output copy-paste ready quiz blocks and suggestions for thematic rounds.

When to use it

  • Creating pub-quiz rounds or trivia night playlists by sport or decade
  • Generating social media posts or newsletter content with sports facts
  • Preparing classroom or youth-club activities that teach sports history
  • Building warm-up questions for broadcasts or podcasts
  • Designing custom trivia packs for fans of a specific team or era

Best practices

  • Specify sport, time period, difficulty mix, and exact number of questions up front
  • Ask for exact formats (e.g., 6 multiple choice, 4 true/false) to get ready-to-print output
  • Request answer explanations and one-line sourcing for credibility
  • Mix difficulty levels in a round to keep all audiences engaged
  • Use obscure-stat questions sparingly to avoid alienating casual players

Example use cases

  • Generate 20 mixed-difficulty football trivia questions from the 1990s for a bar quiz
  • Create a social feed series: 5 baseball obscure-stats facts with multiple choice and explanations
  • Produce a travel-themed trivia round focused on World Cups across eras
  • Build a 10-question rapid-fire round for a live podcast segment covering basketball legends
  • Design a beginner-friendly 15-question set for a school sports history lesson

FAQ

Can the skill include difficulty ratings and explanations?

Yes. Each question includes a difficulty tag (easy/medium/hard) and a short answer explanation with context.

Can I request questions that target obscure statistics only?

Yes. Specify 'obscure stats' in your request and the skill will prioritize less-known metrics and historical footnotes while keeping answers verifiable.
