Quiz Timer

About this tool

The Quiz Timer is a simple countdown for each question in a quiz. Set the number of seconds or minutes, press start and everyone knows exactly how long they have to answer. Teachers use it for pop quizzes and vocabulary checks, hosts use it for online trivia and learners use it to practise under exam-style pressure. The digits are large and high contrast, so the display stays legible on a projector or a shared screen, and an optional beep in the last seconds adds gentle urgency without any extra setup. Everything runs in your browser with no account, and the timer stays accurate because it is driven by your device clock. After each question, reset and start again in one click, or use keyboard shortcuts such as Space to start and pause and R to reset. Running a longer contest with several rounds? The Trivia Timer is built for that, while the Jeopardy Timer suits one contestant at a time. For a full lesson setup, visit the Classroom tools, pick students with the Random Name Picker and set any other length on the Online Timer.
