How to Use These Questions at a Trivia Night
For a typical bar crowd, read each question twice and give teams enough time to discuss without letting the game drag. Mix easier and harder questions instead of stacking all the tough ones together. A good round should give almost every team a few wins while still separating the strongest tables.
These 25 questions can work as one long mixed round, or you can split them into smaller sets and mix them into other categories.
