If you have ever opened Bing in the morning and noticed a little question mark on that day's photo, that's the Homepage Quiz. It's a quick, three-question trivia card built around the daily image, and it's a surprisingly nice way to learn something before your coffee finishes brewing. This page is where we keep everything in one place: how it works, where to find the answers, and how the points add up.
What the Bing Homepage Quiz actually is
The quiz is a small trivia feature baked into the Bing homepage. Most days it's tied to that striking background photo — a mountain range, a sea creature, a festival, an old castle — and the questions ask about the place, the subject, or a fact connected to it. You usually get three multiple-choice questions, and Bing tells you straight away whether you were right. There's nothing to install and no account needed to play, though signing in is what lets your answers count toward rewards.
How to play and find today's answer
Open bing.com (the full homepage, not the Edge new-tab page), look for the quiz prompt or the little info icon on the image, and tap it. Before you rush in, glance at the image caption — it often gives the whole thing away. If the caption says "Atlantic puffins on Skomer Island, Wales," and the question asks where Skomer is, you already have it. For anything you're unsure about, a quick Bing search of the specific subject (not the whole question) usually confirms it faster than guessing.
How Microsoft Rewards points work
When you're signed in, finishing the quiz, running your daily searches, and answering the occasional poll all earn Microsoft Rewards points. Those points build up and can later be swapped for gift cards, sweepstakes entries or donations. The quiz itself is short, so it's an easy thing to fold into a daily routine, and keeping a streak going is the simplest way to get more out of it. If the homepage card is being moody, the Rewards dashboard lists the same activities and is far more reliable.
The kinds of quizzes you'll run into
Because the questions follow the daily image, the topics rotate constantly: geography and landmarks, animals and nature, history, science, art and culture, sports, and seasonal holidays. There are also recurring formats like the daily quiz and the weekly news quiz. We keep a separate guide for each of these — browse them from the Quizzes menu — so you can dig into whichever category you keep landing on.
A few tips that genuinely help
Read every option before you commit; the quiz loves to slip in a close-but-wrong answer from the same country or animal family. Watch the small words too — "largest," "first," "originally" and "currently" completely change what's being asked. And don't treat a wrong answer as wasted: Bing almost always shows a short fact afterward, which is honestly the best part. Play it for a week and you'll start spotting the patterns.
