What would your pub quiz strategy be?

I have my pub and I am planning to start a pub quiz night to keep my customers entertained. So I was wondering what kind of rounds would be great for a pub quiz.

Since Pub Quizzes are very popular I thought why not try out in my pub. So I went online searching for a few resources that I could use to frame some questions and do the stuff myself. I actually managed to find a whole bunch of guys who could hold these quizzes for me in my establishment. So they are basically going to get their stuff themselves and I only need to provide my pub to them for some time. But I got confused while planning a program plan.



So I am going to stick to standard stuff. There are 6 rounds for 7 teams in total. There are 2 general knowledge questions rounds of 5 questions each, a picture round of 20 pictures, and audio music round of 10 clips, one Americana round, one round on Arch enemies , one round on cartoon characters.. I am not so sure of it right now but this is the program that I have selected for now.



If you want to suggest a few things then you can tell me in the comments. I will try to see whether my pub quiz program provider can add it to my programme. I do intend to add a Doctor Who or a general TV round later on. I have to yet test this in my establishment and see for myself.



And I have also seen points for good team names. Do you people think that this will be a good idea?

Pub quiz nights are fun

One of my most favourite things is Pub Quiz. I am a GK geek and love to attempt quizzes of any sort. Be it movies, sports, television or anything for the matter. In my school I used to attempt every quiz there is and right I have a shelf of 10 scholarship quiz medals from different places. I kept up the tradition with pub quizzes as well.



Last year I went to every possible pub quiz questions and made a winning of £6,000. I do not get in for the money but if someone said I am allowed to earn off this it would be the happiest day of my life. So I am currently biding my time right now till I find any major pub quiz turn up.



What I basically do during my breaks is that I got to quiz machines at various establishments for a warm up before I get to any sort pub quiz. Once I get into gear only then do I enter the quiz.

What is great is that weekly 22,000 pub quizzes are taking place in the UK. I sometimes travel to Cardiff to attend a few quizzes as well.

Usually my skills are great for a standard quiz. My main skill is in general knowledge and Sports related questions. I also get the music rounds and picture rounds properly as well. The year before this I was able to raise £2000 for an institution of my choice.



So yeah I am pretty pub quiz crazy so if you are planning to go for a quiz sometime and you are alone, you can join me for on 20th Feb at the Den of Geek London Pub Quiz.
