Why a good name is not the same as a good quiz

Many hosts start by collecting video game quiz names, then stall when it is time to write the questions that go under them.

  • Write questions from the games you actually plan to cover.
  • Mix multiple-choice and true/false items so players of every level can answer.
  • Check each explanation before the event so the host can explain the answer.
  • Reuse the same quiz for a rematch by studying it in the browser.
Example video game trivia questions
Which company published the original Super Mario Bros. in 1985?Nintendo. It released the game for the NES, which made Mario the flagship character of the console.
In Pac-Man, what does Blinky, the red ghost, target?Pac-Man's current position. Blinky chases Pac-Man directly, which is why it is the most aggressive ghost.
Which franchise features the character Master Chief?Halo. Master Chief is the protagonist of Microsoft's series, which began with Halo: Combat Evolved in 2001.
True or false: Minecraft had its full release in 2011?True. A test version appeared in 2009, and the full release followed in November 2011.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a video game trivia round have?

Ten to fifteen questions per round keeps most game nights moving and gives players a fair chance to recover from a miss. Split longer nights into rounds by genre or era.

How do I write fair trivia questions about video game titles?

Ask about one fact per question, such as the release year, developer, platform or main character. Avoid questions where two answers are both correct or where the wording gives away the answer.

Can DeckOwl suggest names for my quiz?

No. DeckOwl generates questions from the material you upload, so it is not a title brainstorming tool. Use it to build the questions once you have a name.

Do I have to pay to export a quiz?

Yes. The free plan lets you study in the browser only. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
