Writing a round that people actually argue about

Pub quiz nights run on good pub quiz questions with answers, and ready-made lists online often feel stale or too easy for your crowd. Starting from your own material gives you questions that fit the topics you care about.

  • Keep one correct answer per question, with no ambiguous wording.
  • Vary categories such as geography, science, film and history.
  • Write a one-line explanation so the host can settle disputes fast.
  • Test a round at home first to catch unclear or outdated facts.
