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.

Blog - Joker Quizzes _ An explanation.

Joker quizzes
18/12/2019

"This was a style of quiz we were using several years ago.

The pub had a go ahead owner who didn't mind putting his hand in his pocket and we used to have a joker quiz on a Sunday night, six rounds of five questions in various subjects, you were given the subjects in advance and picked which one you wanted as your joker for which you received double points, the subjects usually had a strange one amongst them.

There was then a jackpot (Three questions at the end) which went up every week as the jackpot cost a pound to enter, and when it was won the owner used to kick it off again with fifty quid as a sweetener.

Some Sunday nights they were queuing up. I used to try and work it out that every team would get one correct Jackpot answer and hopefully one or two would get two but I tried to make sure no-one was going to get three until the money was worth winning. Then I would give them all a fighting chance, hoping it would be shared."
