Writing pub quiz rounds from your own material

A Redditch Thursday pub quiz depends on its questions, and writing thirty good ones by hand takes an evening most hosts do not have. DeckOwl does not list quiz nights or venues, so it will not tell you where to play. What it can do is read your own trivia notes, slides or PDFs and write multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation you can check before the round starts.

  • Keep each round to a single topic so teams can focus.
  • Check every answer against your source before the night.
  • Mix easy opening questions with harder closers.
  • Use multiple choice for numbers and dates, and short answer for names.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts run rounds of about eight to ten questions so the whole quiz fits into one evening. Shorter rounds keep teams engaged if the room is busy.

How do I write trivia questions that have one clear answer?

Ask about a single fact, such as a date, name or place, and check that no other answer could fit. Keep the source next to each question so you can confirm it before the night.
