News IQ is a daily news quiz about top stories. 5 new questions every day with simple Wordle-like sharing. Every question has a short explanation with links to read more, so even if you're not a news junkie, it's a fun way to stay up-to-date.
Hey ProductHunt! I'm Harish, one of the co-creators of News IQ, alongside Bharat and Yogi.
I love the daily routine and sharing of Wordle scores, and I do the weekly New York Times News Quiz religiously. I wanted to merge these two ideas to create a daily, social news quiz.
Introducing News IQ π§
Each day, 5 new questions are released about top recent news stories. Everyone gets the same 5 questions, and they come from many sourcesβlike the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vox, BBC, Scientific American, and more (fairly US-centric for now). Questions include brief explanations, so even if you're not a news junkie, it's a fun way to stay current. And many are written with subtle hints to help you deduce the answer without prior knowledge.
When you're done, you can share scores like this, similar to Wordle:

Totally free, nothing to download, no account needed, and you can play on any device. Just go to playnewsiq.com to play.
It's been great to see News IQ join Wordle, Spelling Bee, and the NYT Crossword in our friends' daily rotation. Would love any feedback!
Congrats on the launch, Harish! What a great way to stay up to date with the news.
Suggestion β show %s for each answer choice as well, and the % of people overall who got scores 1-5 at the end. Might be fun to stack rank yourself.
Good luck! π

Congratulations on the launch!
I love this! Always liked quizzes, and what a great way to stay up to date! Strongly extra info you get after answering a question with links etc. Nice job!
However - I noticed that when I answer question 2, it also answers question 3 at the same time. So if I pick option 1 in question 2, it automatically also ticks option 1 for question 3. May be worth looking at.
Good luck!
@awikio Ah sorry about that! Fixed. If you refresh the page, your answer for Q3 should be reset. Once you answer it, you should be able to share your score π
It looks awesome! And probably a better way to stay up-to-date rather than finding news from memes (let's be honest, most of us get our news like that haha)
Congrats on the launch! π
