Why custom beats a recycled list

Recycled lists are why many quiz hosts never find the best pub quiz questions ever for their own room. The questions that land best usually match what your regulars already know, from local history to the TV shows they watch, and a generic printout rarely does that.

Start from a topic you already teach or host, such as local history, science, or film.
Generate multiple-choice, true/false, or open questions with an explanation for each answer.
Review every question before the night, because you know your crowd better than any list does.
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
