Came across these recently, and I thought they might be fun for some. You will probably need a login to the NYTimes, or maybe they still have that 10 free articles / month deal.
They're copy-editing quizzes, where you click on the mistake. Some of the questions are easy, some a bit harder, and some are ridiculously easy only after the fact, and you wonder how you could have missed the mistake. (I'd admit my embarrassing failure to catch the mistake, but it would sort of spoil the question).
Enjoy!
