- Choose around 50 questions. This is the ideal amount for a pub quiz.
- Mix in some easy questions and some hard questions so everyone is included.
- Include a range of subjects, from pop culture to science, geography to music. Include a picture round asking your players to names celebrities or why not show pictures of countries we work in and ask your players to name them.
- Throw in a fun round for bonus points. Have a Lego round, get teams to build a model of 'X' and choose the best one, or guess the movie from emojis.
- Have a tie-break question ready with the closest guess winning overall. It could be something Save the Children related, e.g “what year was Save the Children founded?" (answer 1919).
