Built for Curious Minds Across Canada

RotaryQuiz started as a small project with one goal: make the experience of testing your own knowledge genuinely enjoyable. We believe that curiosity is worth nurturing, and that a well-crafted quiz can be both informative and unexpectedly fun.

Team collaboration and learning

Our Mission & Approach

🎯

Clear Purpose

RotaryQuiz exists to give people a simple, reliable way to engage with knowledge across a wide range of topics. We're not trying to be everything — we aim to do quizzes well.

📚

Content Quality

Every question is written, reviewed, and fact-checked by our team. We prioritise accuracy, clarity, and appropriate difficulty over quantity.

🔒

Honest & Transparent

We're clear about what RotaryQuiz is: an educational and entertainment platform. We don't make unrealistic claims or use manipulative tactics to engage users.

🌱

Continuous Improvement

We regularly update and expand our question bank based on user feedback and emerging topics. The platform grows as our understanding of what users need grows.

♿

Accessible Design

We design with accessibility in mind — good contrast, legible fonts, keyboard navigation, and fast load times so anyone can use RotaryQuiz regardless of device or ability.

🇨🇦

Proudly Canadian

Based on Salt Spring Island, BC, we're a small Canadian team. Our content reflects a global perspective, but our roots and values are local.

Research and content quality

Editorial Standards

Every question on RotaryQuiz goes through a defined review process before it's published. We want our users to trust that the information they encounter here is accurate and fair.

Our editorial approach includes:

  • Primary source verification for all factual claims
  • Peer review within the team before any content goes live
  • Regular audits of existing questions to catch outdated information
  • Clear, unambiguous answer options — no trick questions
  • Explanations that help users understand the reasoning, not just the answer

If you notice an error or have a suggestion, we genuinely want to hear from you. Use the contact form and we'll review it promptly.

Our Story So Far

RotaryQuiz didn't start with grand ambitions. It grew from a practical question: could a simple, well-designed quiz platform be both educational and genuinely engaging? Here's how we found out.

Early 2022

The Initial Idea

David Harrington, a former teacher with a background in educational psychology, began sketching a quiz system that would prioritise question quality and explanation over speed or competition.

Mid 2022

First Prototype

A working prototype with 30 general knowledge questions was tested with a small group of volunteers. Feedback shaped the core design principles that RotaryQuiz still follows today.

Early 2023

Team Expands

Mei-Lin Park joined to lead development, and Omar Tremblay came on board as a full-time content researcher. The question library grew to over 100 questions across five categories.

Late 2023

Public Launch

RotaryQuiz launched publicly at rotaryquiz.org with a full question bank, article library, and the logic and self-discovery quiz categories. Response from early users was encouraging and constructive.

2024 & Beyond

Ongoing Development

We continue to refine the platform, add new questions, and listen carefully to user feedback. Our goal is steady, thoughtful growth — not rapid expansion at the cost of quality.
