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.
