Why a custom Sunday pub quiz beats a printable sheet

Printable quiz sheets are easy to find, but they rarely match what your regulars know or the themes you want for the night. A Sunday pub quiz works better when the questions come from material you choose yourself, such as a local history book, a film season or a set of slides from a course you teach.

  • Build rounds from your own books, slides or notes instead of a generic sheet
  • Mix multiple-choice and true/false questions to keep the pace up
  • Read each explanation before the night so disputes are easy to settle
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus for printed answer sheets
