As well as writing questions for pub quiz leagues the Wise Old Owls also write "fun" questions for the more typical "pub quiz" format.

Just in case you've never been in a British pub while a quiz has been underway, all you need to know is that teams of friends, or indeed couples or individuals, listen to a series of questions read out (usually over the pub's PA system) to which they write down the answers on an entry form.  After all the questions have been read out contestants hand in or swap sheets with other "teams" for marking.  Those who turn out to have the best scores typically win beer prizes (some pubs even give a "booby prize" for the lowest score).

The Wise Old Owls produce a variety of quiz formats according to what licensees want or else what they think will best suit their customers.  Our pub quizzes generally feature a number of questions of a topical nature.  In addition some "true or false" questions (or daft but amusing multiple-choice questions) serve as levellers to give ordinary customers a chance against the evil "quiz professional" who goes round snaffling-up beer prizes.

In brief there are two types of pub quiz.  Licensees can take either, or both (if they wish), of the following ...

• General knowledge quiz ~ typically a 25 question quiz with a 10 answer tie-breaker.  We hope to make a sample quiz available as soon as possible. 
  
  

• Picture quiz - typically 20 pictures of famous, or not so famous, people to identify.  Follow the link here to a sample quiz.

If you are interested in any of these do please get in touch.  Send us an e-mail or telephone and we will give you details of our very reasonable rates (from £1 each for a simple general knowledge quiz).
