Planning a quiz night over video

Hosting an online pub quiz with friends is easier when the questions are ready before anyone logs in. Writing fifty fresh questions by hand takes hours, so many hosts reuse the same old rounds and everyone guesses the answers.

Mix easy and hard questions in each round so no team gets stuck.
Check every explanation before the night, since a wrong answer ruins the round.
Keep rounds short enough that everyone stays engaged on video.
Spread your study over several days so the facts stick for the quiz itself.

Example general knowledge trivia questions for a pub quiz

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. It was chosen as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, so many people guess Sydney by mistake.

Which chemical element has the symbol Fe?Iron. The symbol comes from the Latin word ferrum, which is why it does not match the English name.

True or false: honey can stay edible for a very long time when sealed.True. Its low water content and acidity make it hard for bacteria to grow, which is why honey found in ancient tombs has been reported as still edible.

Which is the largest ocean on Earth?The Pacific Ocean. It covers more area than all of Earth's land combined.

How many players are on the field for one side in a soccer match?Eleven. The goalkeeper is included in that count, and each team also has substitutes on the bench.
