Okay, so I had this idea kicking around for a bit. Been playing a ton of GTA lately, like, way too much. All the different games, stories, characters… they just get stuck in your head, you know? So I thought, why not make a quiz about it? See who really knows their stuff.
Getting Started – The Brain Dump
First thing I did was just grab a notebook. Yeah, old school, I know. I started jotting down everything I could remember off the top of my head. Characters, missions, radio stations, weird little details from San Andreas, Vice City, GTA V… all of it. It was a mess, honestly, just a big list of random GTA facts and memories.
Then I started trying to turn that mess into actual questions. Like, “Who’s the main guy in Vice City?” or “What’s the name of that annoying cousin in GTA IV?”. Some were easy, others I had to actually boot up the games or do a quick search online to double-check names and places. Didn’t want to put wrong info out there, that’d be embarrassing.
Sorting Through the Chaos
Once I had a decent pile of questions, maybe like 30 or 40, I realized I needed some structure. I decided to group them a bit:
- Characters: Questions just about the people in the games.
- Story/Missions: Stuff about what happens in the main plots.
- World Details: Like locations, businesses, radio stuff.
- Random Trivia: The really obscure stuff for the hardcore fans.
This made it feel a bit more organized. I tried to get a mix of difficulties too. Some dead easy ones, some medium, and a few real head-scratchers.
Putting the Quiz Together
I didn’t do anything fancy, okay? No complex coding or anything. I first typed it all out neatly in a text document. Question, then multiple-choice answers (usually four options, A, B, C, D), and marked the correct one for myself.
Then, I thought about how people would actually do the quiz. I ended up using a super simple online quiz maker tool. Just copied and pasted my questions and answers into it. It wasn’t perfect, but it did the job. It could shuffle the questions and score it at the end, which was cool.
Testing and Tweaking
Before letting anyone else see it, I ran through it myself a few times. Caught a couple of typos, phew. Then I got my buddy, who’s also a big GTA fan, to try it. He pointed out one question was kinda confusingly worded, so I tweaked that. He also got stuck on a couple I thought were easy, and aced one I thought was hard. Funny how that works.
His feedback was super helpful. Made me rethink the difficulty balance a tiny bit. I swapped out one question that was maybe too obscure for something slightly more known.
All Done (For Now!)
And yeah, that’s basically it. Got the quiz done. It’s nothing groundbreaking, just a bit of fun for fellow GTA nerds. Spent a good few hours on it, digging through memories and checking facts. Kinda satisfying to have it finished, you know? Just a little project born out of playing way too many video games.
