Think you’re good at general knowledge? April may have something to say about that.
Every day on Quizified, we ask 10 questions across 10 categories. In April 2026, that meant 300 questions in total. Some were comfortably answered by most players. Others caused absolute carnage.
This post brings together the 20 hardest questions from April 2026, based on how real Quizified players actually performed.
Every question here had a low correct answer rate, with some catching out more than 8 in 10 players. The data comes from thousands of real attempts across the month, so this is not guesswork. It is what people actually clicked when the timer was running.

What score should you expect?
Based on how players actually performed across these 20 questions, the expected score is around 5 out of 20.
April was not quite as brutal at the very bottom as some months, but it was still seriously tough. A few questions had correct answer rates close to 15%, and plenty of others sat below 30%.
If you scored 8 or more, you did well.
If you got 10 or more, you’re comfortably ahead of the average.
A perfect score? Very, very unlikely.
