We only ask what we can quote.
No quiz can promise perfection, and we won't claim one does. What we promise is narrower and checkable: every fact shown on a quiz page links to a source, and the exact supporting sentence is stored with it. Here is how that works.
- 01
We start from trusted sources only.
Each quiz family has an approved list: government health and safety agencies such as the CDC, NHTSA, FDA, CPSC and FTC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, established dictionaries, and our own published reporting. Official app store listings can support age ratings, nothing else. User-written slang sites help us find terms but never define them.
- 02
Every fact has a word-for-word quote.
Before a question exists, we store the exact sentence from the source that supports it, along with when we retrieved it. A computer check confirms that sentence really appears on the page. If it doesn't, the fact is thrown out.
- 03
Wrong answers get checked too.
A wrong option that turns out to also be true is a trap. Each wrong answer must be shown false by the source or sit clearly outside what it covers. Otherwise we replace it or drop the question.
- 04
Health and safety questions need two sources.
Two independent approved sources must agree. Those quizzes also carry a note that they are general information, not medical advice.
- 05
Anything we can't verify is dropped.
We don't soften, round or guess. A shorter quiz, or no quiz, is the correct outcome when the sources don't support more.
- 06
A named editor approves it.
Quizzes built with AI assistance are labeled that way, credited to Cool Mom Picks Editors and show the name of the editor who reviewed them. Edits to a factual question send it back through verification.
What we don't make
No personality quizzes, no product matchmaking, and nothing that suggests a medical, developmental or psychological diagnosis. No sign-up or email to see a result, and no personal details collected to take a quiz.
Spot a mistake?
Every question in an answer key has a "Report a problem" link. Reports go straight to the editor who owns the quiz. Each quiz also has a review date, and we recheck sources when it comes up.
