Why Play Trivia Once a Week?

Some people like their trivia in small daily doses. Others prefer to save it for one relaxed session at the end of the week, when there is time to look back at what happened and see how much of it actually stuck. This page is built for that second habit: one place to warm up, then a choice of full quizzes covering news, entertainment, geography, maths and inspiring people.

A weekly rhythm also has a quiet learning advantage. Stories you skimmed on Monday are a little harder to recall by Friday, and that small struggle is exactly what helps memory. Cognitive psychologists call it retrieval practice, and it is one of the best-documented study techniques we have (more on that below).

What Is the Bing Weekly Quiz?

The name comes from Microsoft Bing's own short quizzes. Through Microsoft Rewards and the Bing homepage, Microsoft regularly offers brief multiple-choice rounds about recent news and entertainment, along with a daily homepage quiz tied to the background image. Players who are signed in with a Microsoft account can earn Rewards points for taking part.

Our Bing weekly quiz collection is an independent companion to that experience. The rounds linked above are written by our own team, cover a wider range of subjects, and come with explanations so you learn something whether you get the answer right or not. They are free to play, need no sign-in, and are designed to be a good warm-up before you tackle the official rounds.

Good to know: This site is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Microsoft. Bing and Microsoft Rewards are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. Points are only awarded by Microsoft, through its own quizzes.

How the Official Weekly Rounds Usually Work

Microsoft adjusts its quiz formats, schedules and point values from time to time, and availability depends on your country and account. With that caveat, the general pattern looks like this:

  1. Sign in to a Microsoft account. Points are tied to your account, so you need to be signed in for them to count.
  2. Open the Microsoft Rewards dashboard. Available quizzes appear there as activity cards, alongside other daily and weekly tasks.
  3. Answer a handful of multiple-choice questions. News and entertainment rounds focus on stories from the past several days; the homepage quiz is linked to that day's Bing image.
  4. Check your points. Completed activities are marked on the dashboard. If something looks different from what you expected, the dashboard and Microsoft's Rewards terms are the authoritative source.

One rule worth repeating: Microsoft's terms for Rewards prohibit bots, scripts and other automated ways of earning points. Playing honestly is the only reliable way to keep an account in good standing, and it is more fun anyway.

Plan Your Trivia Week

If you enjoy a routine, here is a simple way to spread the rounds across seven days. Each slot takes roughly five minutes, and nothing stops you from doing them all on a Sunday afternoon instead.

MONCatch up on headlines. Start the week with the news trivia round while last week's stories are still fresh.
TUETravel the map. The geography quiz pairs well with any place that made the news.
WEDMidweek brain stretch. A short maths challenge wakes up a different kind of thinking.
THUMeet remarkable people. Learn the stories behind the extraordinary women quiz.
FRIPop culture night. Unwind with movie, music and TV trivia.
SAT–SUNDaily topic picks. The daily homepage-style quiz brings a new subject each day.

Tips to Score Higher (and Remember More)

Test yourself before you look things up

In a well-known 2006 study, Henry Roediger and Jeffrey Karpicke found that students who practised recalling a passage remembered more of it a week later than students who simply reread it. Answering a question, even wrongly, and then reading the explanation works the same way. That is why every practice question on this page shows its explanation right after you answer.

Space it out

A large review of memory research led by Nicholas Cepeda (2006) showed that learning spread across separate sessions is retained better than the same amount crammed into one. A quick quiz on several days of the week beats a single marathon.

Read past the headline

News questions often turn on a detail: the country where something happened, the name of an award, or the number in a record. When a story catches your eye, read the first two paragraphs instead of just the title.

Use elimination

  • Rule out any option that contradicts something you know for certain.
  • Be wary of absolute words like "always", "never" and "only"; they are wrong more often than not.
  • If two answers look nearly identical, the difference between them is usually the point of the question.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Bing weekly quiz free?

Yes. Microsoft's official quizzes are free to play with a Microsoft account, and every quiz on this site is free with no sign-in required.

Can I earn Microsoft Rewards points on this site?

No. Only Microsoft awards Rewards points, and only through its own quizzes and activities. Our rounds are independent practice and learning quizzes.

How often are new questions added here?

The Bing Homepage Quiz brings a new topic every day, and the Bing Entertainment Quiz is refreshed weekly. The other rounds are updated on a regular schedule, so check back each week.

Why is the official quiz missing from my Rewards dashboard?

Microsoft varies which activities appear by country, account and date, and formats change over time. If a quiz is not showing, check again the next day or review Microsoft's Rewards help pages.

Who writes and checks these quizzes?

Our quizzes are written by our own editorial team. Facts are checked against reliable reference sources, and if you spot a mistake we correct it and update the page.
