General Subjects 258

This pack of pub quiz questions features 10 high quality questions each on the following 5 subjects...

Geography
Art and Literature
Music
TV and Films
Science and Nature

A couple of example questions from these rounds are as follows...

- The River Danube originates in Germany and flows through ten countries before emptying into which sea?
- Which medical journal was founded in 1823 by Thomas Wakley and was named after a sharp-pointed, two-edged surgical instrument?

There are also two tie-breaker questions included that can be used in the event of two or more teams having the same score at the end of the quiz where a very difficult question is given that needs a numeric answer (e.g. "In what year was sliced bread first sold?"). The teams involved in the tie break can then write their answers on a blank piece of paper and hand them to you and whoever is closest wins the quiz.

While you could use all of this material on its own for your quiz, we recommend that you only use a few of these rounds in each quiz you do and that the rest is made up of handout rounds, plus a mix of other question and answer rounds, such as a Connections round, an Initial Letter Link round and a Double or Quits round. You can find plenty of handout rounds and question and answer packs on this site.

Note that these quiz rounds already appear in Weekly Quizzes 648, 649 and 650. If you would prefer to buy pub quiz packs complete with a handout round, a variety of other question and answer rounds, plus specially designed answer sheets for teams to write their answers on, then please visit our Complete Quizzes section. If, however, you prefer to compile quizzes to your own format and are looking for extra rounds to use in this, then this quiz pack  will hopefully be of use to you.
