Why custom questions beat ready-made sheets

Hosts who print a generic sheet often find that half the questions repeat what the regulars already know. A pub quiz works better when the questions come from material you chose yourself, such as a themed reading list, lecture slides or your own notes on history and geography.

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer for each round
Keep difficulty even by generating from one topic at a time
Check each explanation before it goes on the answer sheet

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts run rounds of around eight to ten questions, so a set of 40 to 50 covers four or five rounds with spares. Mix easy and hard items so the room stays involved.

What makes a good general knowledge trivia question?

It should have one answer that a reasonable person can verify, with no room for a second correct reading. Avoid questions that depend on spelling or on a recent news event that may change.

Can I export my Saturday quiz to Word or PDF?

Yes, the Plus plan at $39 a year or $7.99 a month exports PDF and DOCX. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
