Quiz Runner — a tool for community quiz competitions
A free, single-file tool for running live quiz competitions, built for the Nepalese community events I host.
I run quiz competitions for Nepalese community organisations in Melbourne, and built this to run them properly on the night. Quiz Runner is a single HTML file: set up categories, add teams, open questions in a fair order, run a countdown timer with a call-bell, handle passes to other teams, score automatically, settle ties, and export the final results — all offline, nothing to install.
Anyone can use it. The setup wizard turns your questions, logos, and rules into a ready-to-run quiz file you open on a laptop and project on the night. It grew from quiz competitions I have been running since 2022.

Built with: plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no frameworks, no server, works straight from a file. Node.js powers the optional command-line build.
How it was made: vibecoded with Claude (model Opus 4.8, via Claude Code) in May–June 2026, working from my own design brief, and tested by hand against a written checklist — timer, passing, scoring, tiebreakers, save/reload, and results export — before each real event.
