If you like quiz questions that feel easy at first glance and then quietly trip you up, this one’s for you.
Every day on Quizified we ask 10 questions across 10 categories. Over November 2025 that added up to 300 questions. Some were straightforward. Others turned out to be far tougher than expected.
This post brings together the 20 hardest questions from November 2025, based on how real players actually performed. Each question here was answered correctly by fewer than a third of players, often much less.
The data comes from over 5,000 attempts in total. Nothing theoretical. Just what people really clicked.
