Why generate your own quiz instead of searching for printed sheets

Most pub quiz teams revisit the same familiar categories and get caught out by the one round they never reviewed. Printed sheets rarely match the topics your own quiz night will cover, so a custom set built from your own pub quiz revision material is more useful.

Generate questions from the categories your team struggles with most.
Use true/false questions for quick checks on dates and facts.
Read the explanation after each answer to learn why it was right or wrong.
Repeat weak topics with flashcards before the next quiz night.
