Trivia quiz template

Science, art, history and language in one short round, so no single specialist runs away with it. Every right answer is worth a point, the botanical fruit question takes one away for a wrong pick, and a closest-guess tiebreaker settles a draw without a replay.

Questions to consider

  • Is this for a pub night, a team social or a classroom? A mixed crowd needs questions from several subjects so nobody dominates.
  • Should a wrong pick in the fruit question cost a point, or would that feel harsh for your players?
  • Will teams play together on one phone, or will everyone answer on their own device?
  • Do you need the tiebreaker at all, or is a shared win fine for your group?

How to use the responses

Sort the responses by score to find the winner, then use the tiebreaker to settle any draw: the guess closest to 88 takes it. Look at which question most people got wrong before your next quiz. If nearly everyone missed it, keep it as a showstopper; if the wording confused people, rewrite it.

How to customize and share it

  1. 1Swap in questions on your own theme, keeping one point on each correct option and a minus point on wrong picks in any pick-all question.
  2. 2Move the score bands if you change the number of questions, so the champion result still needs nearly every answer right.
  3. 3Share the link on screen or in your group chat, and read the scoreboard in the dashboard when the round closes.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a trivia quiz have?

For a single round played on phones, eight to twelve questions keeps it quick. A full quiz night usually runs several rounds of that size with a break between them.

How do I handle a tie in a trivia quiz?

Use a closest-guess number question that is not scored. This template asks how many keys a piano has, and the nearest guess to 88 wins.

What makes a good trivia question?

One clear right answer, wrong options that sound plausible, and a fact people enjoy learning even when they miss it.

Can teams play this trivia quiz together?

Yes. Ask for a team name on the first question and have one person answer for the table.
