Running a pub quiz from your own material

A good round starts with questions that fit the room. Writing a full set by hand for every Uppsala pub quiz takes hours, and most of that time goes into digging facts out of books and websites.

Start with a source you trust, such as a city guide or university history page.
Mix question types so teams with different strengths all get a chance to score.
Read each explanation before the quiz so you can answer follow-up questions confidently.
Keep rounds short enough that the scoring sheet stays readable at the bar.
