How to share a quiz on social media (and get people playing)
Share quizzes on Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, X and Facebook: where links work, how to write a post people tap, and how to share safely.
1. Get a shareable link
Every public Prepin quiz has its own link. Open the quiz, tap Share and use your phone's share sheet to send it straight to an app, or copy the link. Anyone with the link can play — they don't need an account.
2. Where links work on each platform
| Platform | Where to put the link |
|---|---|
| Link sticker in Stories, or the link in your bio | |
| TikTok | Bio link (where available) and mention it in the video |
| Paste in chats, groups or your Status — previews show automatically | |
| X | In the post; a preview card appears |
| In a post or group; previews appear | |
| In a post — good for training or professional quizzes |
3. Write a post people tap
Lead with a challenge, not a description. 'Only 1 in 5 get all 10 right — can you?' beats 'Here is my quiz about biology'. Say how long it takes and what it's about.
Sample caption
Revising cell biology? 10 questions, 2 minutes. Beat my 8/10 👇
Answer
Short, specific, with a score to beat and a clear action.
4. Run it live for more engagement
For a group chat or class, host a live room and share the join code. Everyone plays at the same time with a leaderboard — great for study groups and revision nights.
5. Share safely
Make sure a quiz is meant to be public before you post it. Don't include personal information in questions, and for school quizzes, follow your school's social media policy. Private quizzes can be shared with specific people by invitation instead.
