Slate has launched a new daily trivia quiz feature, allowing users to test their knowledge every weekday. Hosted by Ray Hamel, the quizzes focus on specific topics, with today's edition centered on history.
Slate announced the expansion of its quiz offerings, responding to user demand for more content. 'You wanted more quizzes, and we’ve delivered! Now you can test your wits every day of the week,' the publication stated in its October 15, 2025, update. Each weekday, host Ray Hamel creates a set of unique, challenging questions on a designated topic.
For the quiz dated October 15, 2025, published at 9:55 a.m. UTC, the theme is history. Participants can compare their scores against the average contestant's performance at the end. Slate Plus members gain access to a leaderboard to track rankings among subscribers. Users are encouraged to share scores with friends and compete for top spots: 'Share your score with friends and compete to see who’s the brainiest.'
New players are directed to review the rules, and the quiz requires browser cookies to function. The initiative aims to engage readers daily, with the history-themed quiz challenging participants to 'ace the quiz and beat the average.' This marks a regular feature, building on Slate's existing games lineup.
