Telegram Bot for Quiz: Run Daily Quiz Polls in a Group
A quiz is one of the easiest ways to keep a group chat alive, but running one by hand is tedious: someone has to write questions, post them, and manually keep score. A Telegram bot for quiz automates the whole loop so the group just answers and competes.
Trivia (TriviaDailyProBot) posts trivia questions to a Telegram group as native Telegram quiz polls, drawn from a bundled set of 600 original questions across 6 categories. Members answer by tapping an option, and Telegram's own quiz poll marks it right or wrong instantly — no manual scoring, no separate app to open.
Free groups draw from the General category with one question a day. Pro groups can switch to any of the other 5 categories, get up to 3 questions daily, earn streak badges for consecutive correct days, and get an automatic champion post roughly every 28 days.
Steps
- Add the bot to your group. Add @TriviaDailyProBot to your group. It posts quiz polls as a normal member, and an admin runs the schedule commands to start and stop the daily question.
- Start the daily schedule. Have an admin run /trivia on 18:00 — the bot posts one quiz poll every day at that hour. /trivia off stops it anytime, and /trivia alone shows the current schedule, category, and today's quiz count.
- Play without adding anything. In any chat, type @TriviaDailyProBot (optionally followed by a category like science) and tap the result: one question with all 4 answer choices posts right there. The correct answer stays hidden until you open the bot to play.
- Post extra questions on demand. Run /trivia now to post a question immediately instead of waiting for the scheduled hour — it counts against the day's quota, so use it when the group is active and bored.
- Check the leaderboard. /leaderboard tallies correct answers over a rolling window so members can compete week to week. Telegram's native quiz-poll marking means scoring needs no manual verification.

On a slow Tuesday the admin runs /trivia now to post an extra question mid-conversation, and it counts against the day's quota.
