Pub Type Quizzes from Real Quizmasters
Writing a good 'Pub Quiz' is not the easiest thing to do, however Bill Turnbull (my chief quiz writer) and I have over eighty years of experience in writing and presenting pub quizzes between us.
That means we have a good idea what type of questions people expect. In our experience we try to make around half of the questions quite easy. This gives the participants some expectation of doing well and won't (hopefully) complain about the quiz being too difficult. Then we fill the remaining questionaire with gradually more difficult questions. There may be an odd one we don't expect to be answered but are often surprised to find someone has answered it correctly.
A good pub quiz should also be fun and a bit of banter will be appreciated. However the quizmaster/presenter must be sure to announce the questions clearly and precisley.
After each round of the quiz that I'm presenting, I ask if anyone requires any questions repeating. Also I will sometimes offer a clue if I suspect that no-one knows the answer.
Bill and I have several quiz websites that offer FREE quizzes for you to use at your local pub or club, or endeed any venue you like. All we ask is that you repect our copyright and don't publish OUR work anywhere. Thanks, Jim Ackroyd and Bill Turnbull.
