Writing a round from your own facts

Quiz night at a Hackney pub works best when the questions reflect the room, from local landmarks to general knowledge the whole table can argue about. A pub quiz in Hackney is easier to run when you start from a document you already trust, such as a fact sheet, a history handout, or your own notes.

Start with a fact sheet you have checked, so the answers are ones you can defend on the night.
Mix question types across the round to keep the pace varied.
Read each explanation before the quiz, since the host will need it when a team disagrees.
Keep a copy of the round so you can reuse the good questions next month.
