Why a pub quiz needs answers you can trust

Every good pub quiz depends on answers that nobody can argue with, and that is where a pub quiz generator with answers saves the most time. Writing fifty trivia questions by hand, then checking each fact against a source, is the slow part of hosting.

  • Answers and explanations come from your own source material.
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set.
  • Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
  • Print-ready PDF or DOCX export is available on Plus.
Example general knowledge trivia questions with answers

Which chemical element has the symbol Fe?Iron. The symbol comes from the Latin word ferrum.
True or false: honey can last for years without spoiling.True. Honey has very low water content and is acidic, which keeps most microbes from growing.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round include?

Many hosts run rounds of about 8 to 10 questions so teams stay engaged and the answer check does not drag. Shorter rounds also make it easier to mix categories like history, science and music.

How do I write general knowledge questions with one clear answer?

Ask about a single fact and avoid words like some, often or usually that allow more than one correct response. Put the explanation beside the answer so the host can settle disputes quickly.

Can I print my quiz questions and answers?

PDF and DOCX export are included on Plus, which costs $39 a year or $7.99 a month. The free plan lets you study generated sets in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month, without adding a credit card.
