Nine ready rounds for a British pub quiz night, from general knowledge to a picture round you can read out loud. Every answer is checked and settled, so the same sheet still works next month.
A pub quiz is a live team quiz run in a pub, usually five or six rounds of ten questions with a picture round in the middle. This page holds 225 questions and answers, already sorted into rounds. Read them straight off the screen.
Take a whole round as it stands, or pull ten questions from two rounds and build your own mix. The rounds run from general knowledge to a picture round described in words, so you can order the night any way you like. For the full walk through the format, read how to run a pub quiz. For a new set every seven days, look at weekly pub quiz questions.
These questions are free to use in your own quiz. Read them out, copy them onto your own answer sheet, or put them on the pub TV and let teams answer from their phones. No credit needed and no fee.
Six rounds, two hours, one quizmaster. This is the order that works in most pubs.
Ten questions per round is the British standard. Put a hard round next to an easy one so the tables at the back stay in the game right to the last answer.
Read each question twice, then give the teams about thirty seconds. A round of ten takes eight to ten minutes at that speed. A quiz that drags loses the room.
Give each team a numbered answer sheet and a pen, or let them answer from their phones. Quizado players join by scanning a QR code in a phone browser, so nobody installs an app.
Run the picture round after round three. It gives the room a breather, it sends people to the bar, and it buys the quizmaster time to mark the first half.
Swap sheets between tables and read the answers out, or let the app score it for you. Read the table from the bottom up so the winner lands last.
Write one number question that nobody can know, such as the height of a local building in metres. The closest guess takes the prize. Never end a night on a coin toss.
The opener. Pick any ten. These are the questions every table can have a go at, so nobody leaves the first round on nought.
Spoken questions, no speakers needed. If you do want tunes, keep the audio clips for a separate name that tune round.
Football, cricket, darts and snooker, with a few from the Olympics. Nothing here depends on this season, so the answers hold.
The round that goes down well with a pint in hand. A good place to send a table back to the bar.
Dates, kings, rivers and capitals. This is usually the round that splits the top two tables.
Soaps, sitcoms and the big screen. The round where the quiet table at the back wakes up.
Kept at pub level. No formulas and no working out, just facts a team can shout across the table.
A picture round with nothing to print. The quizmaster describes the image out loud and the teams name it. Every one is a British landmark, so you can swap in your own photos later.
The last round. Eight anagrams of UK cities, then seven odds and ends about words and letters. Spell the anagrams out slowly, twice.
The questions are the easy half. The hard half is marking nine rounds while the room shouts at you. Quizado puts the question on the pub TV, takes the answers from the phones in the room and keeps the scoreboard, so the quizmaster only has to read and talk.
