Guest Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Im hosting a trivia night next month and trying to come up with some good questions. Aiming for a mix of difficulty so that everyone can get some but no one can get them all. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Any category is game. It's pub-style, so I'm bouncing around on topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerina Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 What year did the Pilgrims sail over on the Mayflower? The largest city in Turkey has had 3 names since it was founded. Name them. What are the 8 classifications of living things? Name the 8 parts of speech. I could go on. Homeschool memory work is a wealth of great trivia questions that nobody remembers from school.

Zerimar Nyliram Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 What is the difference between Monophosytism and Monothelitism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 For music section, play 10 seconds of a song (a riff etc) and for 1 point guess the name of the song and the artist. And extra point if they can name the album and a third bonus point if they guess the year it was released. For it to work though you gotta do a broad selection.. Like Beyonce, then Chuck Berry, Grandmaster Flash then Billy Ray Cirus... That sort of thing. Nothing heinously obscure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Oh oh another cool one we do at pub quizes, is all the tables get a sheet of paper with famous people's baby photos. A point for each one guessed correctly. Could be Brad Pitt, could be Trumpy Trumps, could be Martin Luther King. You get the drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?(estimated 24 mph, per the internet) That’s very topical with Holy Grail recently coming to Netflix In Little Women, what is the last name of sisters Jo, Amy, Beth and Meg? (March)In what short film did the character Mickey Mouse first appear? (Steamboat Willie)What is the chemical formula of table salt? (NaCl) Good questions. My co-host/assistant is a Little Women fan. Screw trivia, just rewatch Groundhog Day as a group, and have everyone take a shot every time Bill Murray wakes up again and relives a day! I don’t want to be responsible for that many deaths. What's the tallest building in the world? What's the deepest point in the ocean? Good questions! What was the British Royal Family's name before they changed it to Windsor? Bonus points if they can say why it was changed. That could be a good final question to ruin everyone’s night. Oh oh another cool one we do at pub quizes, is all the tables get a sheet of paper with famous people's baby photos. A point for each one guessed correctly. Could be Brad Pitt, could be Trumpy Trumps, could be Martin Luther King. You get the drift For music section, play 10 seconds of a song (a riff etc) and for 1 point guess the name of the song and the artist. And extra point if they can name the album and a third bonus point if they guess the year it was released.For it to work though you gotta do a broad selection.. Like Beyonce, then Chuck Berry, Grandmaster Flash then Billy Ray Cirus... That sort of thing. Nothing heinously obscure Good questions. We were thinking about doing some audio-visual stuff. The house where we’re doing it has a large TV and a great surround sound system. What was the former name of Nightly.Net's forum "The Cantina"? The Mos Eisley Cantina What is the difference between Monophosytism and Monothelitism?We have 5-6 guys in the group who have Masters degrees in theology, and another 4-5 who have studied enough on their own that they probably could have those degrees, so if we wanted essays, we could probably ask it! What year did the Pilgrims sail over on the Mayflower? The largest city in Turkey has had 3 names since it was founded. Name them. What are the 8 classifications of living things? Name the 8 parts of speech. I could go on. Homeschool memory work is a wealth of great trivia questions that nobody remembers from school. I especially like the Turkey one. Besides the Buffalo Bills, name the only two other teams to make it to three straight Super Bowls. Miami Dolphins (6-8) New England Patriots (51-53)Appropriate for a February trivia game. What was The Skipper's real name?That’s a tough question. I just recently learned it by listening to Mike Rowe’s podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 If, by one of the later ones, you mean 20 years ago, yes. World is Not Enough was Cleese's first appearance (as Q's assistant), though technically he didn't have the Q designation until Die another Day.
