Writing a Dublin quiz from your own material

Running a Dublin Wednesday pub quiz usually means writing a dozen or more questions that are fair, clear and checkable. Most hosts start with a stack of books, articles or a list of topics, then spend hours turning them into questions. Generating questions from your own source material cuts that work down to a review pass.

  • Choose a topic mix, such as history, geography, science and popular culture, before you generate.
  • Remove any question with more than one defensible answer.
  • Read each explanation aloud once to make sure it matches the quizmaster's reading.
  • Keep a master set of answers so scoring is quick and consistent.

Read out and check

Use the questions and answers on the night, and export them if you have a paid plan.

The quality of a quiz depends on the source. Upload material on the themes you want, such as Irish history, local geography, music or sport, and the questions will reflect those topics. Review each set before the night, remove anything ambiguous, and check that every answer matches a single clear fact.

Explanations make a quiz easier to run. When a team challenges an answer, the explanation gives you a quick reference. Keep a copy of the questions and answers so you can reuse good rounds on future Wednesdays.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts keep rounds similar in length so the evening runs to time. Decide how many rounds you want and how long each should take before you generate questions.

How do I write general knowledge questions that are fair to everyone?

Use one clear fact per question and avoid obscure wording or regional jargon that only some teams will know. Test each question on someone outside the quiz before the night.
