Writing a quiz that adults will actually enjoy

Most hosts want a pub quiz with answers ready before the first round, and the hard part is writing questions that have one clear answer and no arguments afterward.

  • Start with one theme per round, such as UK geography or 1990s music, so answers are easier to check.
  • Use multiple choice for mixed tables and open questions for a final round that rewards knowledge.
  • Read each explanation aloud before the night, since it is the fastest way to catch a wrong answer.
  • Export to DOCX if you want to edit the wording or add your own pub branding before printing.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz have?

What makes a good general knowledge question for adults?
