What makes a good video round

A pub quiz video round usually asks teams to name a film, song or game from a short clip, so video round quiz ideas work best when they target one clear detail the team can recognize. A good question asks for a title, a character, a composer or a famous line rather than something a viewer could guess from a single frame.

Ask about one detail per clip, such as the title, the performer or a line of dialogue.
Mix easy and hard clips so every team has a chance early in the round.
Check that each clip is licensed for your venue before showing it.
Keep the explanation short so the host can read it aloud after the answer.

Example video round questions for pub quiz nights

Which 1975 film's shark is the central threat in a seaside town?Jaws. The film's title and music are often the first clues teams use to identify it.

Which composer wrote the main theme for Star Wars (1977)?John Williams. His fanfare is recognizable within the first few notes, which makes it a common audio clue.

Which film features the line 'Here's looking at you, kid'?Casablanca (1942). Humphrey Bogart's character Rick says the line, so the speaker is a helpful clue.

Which band released 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in 1975?Queen. The operatic middle section of the song is a distinctive detail that helps teams recognize it.

Which fairy guides Link in Ocarina of Time (1998)?Navi. Her voice and warning calls are a recognizable audio clue for players of the game.
