General Subjects 405

This pack of pub quiz questions features ten high-quality questions each on the following five subjects...

Food and Drink
History
Science and Nature
Sport and Games
Music

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

- What type of leaves are used as a topping on a traditional Margherita pizza?
- In the 1930s, which brand invented a condition called "night starvation" as an advertising gimmick, claiming it could be relieved by drinking a mug of their product before bedtime?

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. 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 1016, 1017, and 1018. 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.
