The key point of this site is to provide ideas for quiz questions. A completely free resource for quiz masters.

If you are copying & pasting questions directly from this site, that’s fine, but check that the information is up to date. For example, if there is reference to the “next Olympics” or if there is a celebrity “dead or alive” round, please remember some of the questions in the archive were written some time ago.

Ideas For Quiz Questions

Whether you are an experienced pub quiz master, question writer for a TV production, run an afternoon quiz in retirement housing or just need to prepare a one-off quiz for a fundraiser event. I hope you find this site useful.

Writing your own quiz questions always results in a far better quiz night experience for your players. However, coming up with new ideas for questions every week can be challenging. That is the purpose of this site: A resource for quiz question ideas and subjects.

The site is regularly updated.

Top tip for creating your own Countdown conundrums.

These are my 2 go-to websites. Firstly find a 9 letter word by using www.crosswordsolver.org. Next head to wordsmith.org/anagram and find some interesting combinations of the letters.

Music Rounds

1 minute clip (play twice during presentation) with 5 songs from 5 different decades.

Format 1: Pull the first letter from each artist and it will spell out which 5 letter word?

Format 2: Give the teams the 5 letter word first, then play the clip and have them name each artist.

Here is a sample of our music round which can be used as a full round or just bonus points during a music question round.
