Facts, tips and ideas about Quiz Night — and how to find people for it.
Did you know?
The best answer at quiz night is rarely the right one — it's the wrong one the whole table is still laughing about.
The modern pub quiz night was invented in England in the late seventies — Sharon Burns and Tom Porter came up with it to fill empty pubs again on weekdays. The Burns and Porter quiz league still exists today.

Tip
At quiz night: mix your team. Different knowledge areas win together.
Set your team up wide, not deep. Four people with five different favorite subject areas win more often than four with the same one.
