Key takeaways
- Go to Bing.com and wait for the daily background image to fully load. You must be on the main homepage, not Bing Images, Bing Videos, or Bing Chat / Copilot search results.
- Look for the quiz entry point in one of these two places: hover your mouse over the lower-right hotspots on the background image, or look for the pop-up card that says “Daily Quiz,” “Trivia,” or “Test your knowledge.” In 2026, Microsoft typically shows it as: Bing.com > Background Image Hotspots > Daily Quiz icon [Q].
- Click the quiz card to open the overlay. If you do not see it, scroll down slightly on Bing.com to the “Discover” / “Trends” section and click “More quizzes” or “Bing Quizzes.”
- Sign in with your Microsoft account in the top-right corner (Profile icon > Sign in) before you start. Without sign-in, you can play but you will not earn points.
- Answer the 3 questions. Click an answer A, B, or C for each question, then click Next. You get instant feedback with the correct answer and a short explanation.
- After question 3, click “See your score” to close the quiz and trigger the Rewards credit. Stay on the page for 5-10 seconds so the point balance can refresh.
The Bing Homepage Quiz is launched directly from Bing.com by opening the homepage and clicking the small “Q” icon or the daily quiz banner overlay on the background image, then answering 3 multiple-choice questions to earn Microsoft Rewards points.
If you searched for bing quiz, quiz bing, bing homepage qui, bing quizzes, bing homepage quizzes, or bing home page quiz, it is all the same feature: the daily trivia module tied to Microsoft Rewards on the Bing homepage.

- Option 2: Bing.com > Scroll down to Fun / Discover section > Quizzes > Daily Homepage Quiz
- Option 3: Bing.com > Top menu > Rewards trophy icon > Rewards dashboard > Daily Set > Complete Homepage Quiz

In Microsoft Edge new tab page

How the Quiz Works and How Many Points You Get
The standard Bing Homepage Quiz has 3 questions, usually tied to the daily background photo, current events, history, science, or geography. Each question has 3 options and only one correct answer. You do not lose points for a wrong answer.
Points go to Microsoft Rewards, not to a separate Bing Quiz balance. The typical Daily Set structure in the U.S. in 2026 is:
| Activity | Questions / Searches | Typical Points | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homepage Quiz (Daily Quiz) | 3 questions | 30 points (10 per correct answer) | Once per day, must be signed in |
| Daily Poll | 1 vote | 10 points | Listed next to quiz in Daily Set |
| This or That / Supersonic Quiz | 5-10 rounds | 10-50 points | Varies, streak bonus on some days |
| PC Search with Bing | Up to 30 searches | 90-150 points (3-5 per search) | Level 2 accounts earn more |
| Mobile Search / Edge Bonus | Up to 20 searches | 60-100 points | Requires Bing app or Edge mobile |
| Quiz Streak Bonus | 3-7 day streak | 10-45 extra points | Only if you complete Daily Set daily |
In other regions the numbers are lower, often 3 points per search and 30 points max for the quiz, but the 3-question format is the same. Microsoft changes point values without notice, so check Rewards dashboard > Daily Set for the exact value shown today.
How to Track Rewards Points From the Quiz
- After finishing, click the Trophy / Medal icon in the top-right of Bing.com (Rewards icon) > Rewards dashboard. Your balance at the top should increase within 2-5 minutes.
- For a detailed log: Rewards dashboard > Points breakdown > See details > Today. Look for entries labeled “Daily Quiz,” “Homepage Quiz,” or “Daily Set: 30 points.”
- If points do not appear: press Ctrl + Shift + Delete in Edge to clear cached images for the last hour, then close and reopen Bing.com and check the dashboard again. Do not replay with a VPN, because region mismatch can void the credit.
- To track streaks: Rewards dashboard > Streaks > Daily Set streak. Completing the Homepage Quiz + Daily Poll + one other Daily Set item each day keeps the streak alive. Missing one day resets it to zero.
- Redemption threshold reference: 1,000 Rewards points is typically worth about $1 in gift cards, so 30 days of Homepage Quiz completions (about 900 points plus streak bonuses) is roughly $1-$1.25 in value before search points are added.
Which Bing Quiz Should You Do
Bing uses several names that confuse searchers. Use this matrix to pick the right one:
| Your Situation | Do This Quiz | Where to Open It |
|---|---|---|
| You want the fast 1-minute daily points | Homepage Quiz (3 Qs) | Bing.com background image hotspot |
| Homepage Quiz is missing today | Poll + This or That | Rewards dashboard > Daily Set |
| You want news and current events trivia | News Quiz / Weekly Quiz | Bing.com > Quizzes > News |
| You want longer trivia for fun | Bing Fun Quizzes (10 Qs) | Bing.com > Fun > Quizzes |
| You are on a school or work PC | Skip, use personal account later | Work accounts often block Rewards credit |
Why the Bing Homepage Quiz Is Missing or Not Working
Nine out of ten reports are not bugs. They are region, account, or homepage layout issues. Check symptoms in order:
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No Q icon or quiz banner on Bing.com | Background images off, or enterprise policy hides fun content | Edge > Settings > New tab page > Show background image: On. On managed PCs, use personal device. Reload with Ctrl + F5. |
| Quiz opens but questions never load | Ad-blocker or tracking prevention blocking quiz script | Pause ad-blocker for bing.com. Edge: Settings > Privacy > Tracking prevention > Balanced (not Strict) for Bing, then reload. |
| Can play but get 0 points | Not signed in, underage account, or unsupported region | Sign in top-right. Rewards requires an adult Microsoft account in a supported market. Check: Rewards dashboard > Region must match your IP. |
| Points stuck at same balance | Already completed today (resets midnight local time) or delayed sync | Wait 30 minutes, check Points breakdown > Today. Do not use VPN. Daily reset is usually 00:00 local, not UTC. |
| Quiz says “Come back tomorrow” immediately | Cookie from earlier completion, or date/time wrong on PC | Windows: Settings > Time & language > Set time automatically: On. Clear Bing cookies: Edge > Ctrl + Shift + Delete > Cookies > Clear, then sign in again. |
| Quiz works in Chrome but not Edge | Corrupt Edge cache or Rewards extension conflict | Edge: Alt + F > Settings > Reset settings > Restore defaults, then only enable Rewards. Update Edge to latest 2026 build. |
Settings That Prevent Lost Points
- Use one Microsoft account for Bing, Edge, and Rewards. Playing on Account A and checking points on Account B is the most common reason for “points disappeared.”
- Turn off VPN while doing the Daily Set. Microsoft validates country by IP. A U.S. account on a European IP often gets to play but earns 0 points for that day.
- Allow third-party sign-in pop-ups for microsoft.com and live.com. If Edge blocks the sign-in redirect, the quiz runs anonymously: Edge > Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Pop-ups > Allow for [*.]bing.com and [*.]microsoft.com.
- If you share a PC, use separate Windows profiles: Windows Start > Settings > Accounts > Other users > Add account. Shared browser profiles mix quiz completion cookies and cause false “already done” messages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bing Homepage Quiz free?
Yes. It is free with a Microsoft account. You do not need Microsoft 365 or Game Pass. Rewards points can be redeemed for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charity donations depending on your country.
How often does the quiz change?
Once per day, usually between midnight and 3 a.m. local time along with the new background image. There is no way to replay yesterday’s 3 questions for points, though fun quizzes in the archive can be played for no points.
Can I do the quiz twice for double points?
No. Replays on the same account on the same day give 0 extra points. Points are once per account per day, not per browser. Playing in Edge, Chrome, and the Bing app with the same account will still credit only once.
Why does my friend get different questions?
Bing A/B tests quiz sets and localizes them. U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and India often get different 3-question sets tied to regional news and the regional background image.
