How to pick a strong trivia round

Most teams spend longer on pub quiz team names than on preparing for the questions, and the questions decide the night. A short round built from the subjects you know best will beat a long list of random facts.

  • Choose two or three categories you know well and focus your revision there.
  • Mix easy and hard questions so the room stays involved.
  • Review explanations for any answer your team got wrong.
  • Agree on who answers each category before the night starts.
