Trivia topics
Pick a topic. Play trivia.
What a good round on each subject covers, how hosts make it work in a room, and where to play it — online now or at a venue near you.
Sports Trivia
Sports is the category that starts arguments at the table, which is exactly why it belongs in a bar trivia night. Everyone has an opinion; fewer people have the answer.

Movie & TV Trivia
Movies and television are the most forgiving trivia category: nearly everyone has seen something, and a question about a film you missed is still fun to guess at from the clues.

Music Trivia
Music is the category with the best clues in the business: a few seconds of a song and the whole room is humming. It is also the category most shaped by age, so the mix matters more than anywhere else.

80s Trivia
The eighties are the trivia decade: big hair, bigger movies, arcade games, Saturday-morning cartoons and a pop chart everyone can still sing. A decade round is a party, and the eighties throw the best one.

History Trivia
History is the category that makes a room feel clever. The trick is to ask about the stories people half-remember — the famous speech, the ship, the scandal — rather than the dates nobody does.

Science Trivia
Science trivia works in a bar when it is about the world people can see: the planets, the animals, the human body, the weather, the things in the kitchen. It fails when it reads like an exam.

Geography Trivia
Geography is the great leveller of trivia categories. Nobody is a professional at it, everyone has travelled or wanted to, and a map on the TV turns a question into a game the whole table plays at once.
264 questions in the library
Food & Drink Trivia
Food and drink is the home-field category for any bar, brewery or restaurant. The questions are about what is on the table in front of the players, and the staff are the experts in the room.
224 questions in the library
General Knowledge Trivia
General knowledge is the round that decides most trivia nights. Nobody can revise for it, so it rewards the table that talks the most and trusts the right person.

Halloween Trivia
A Halloween trivia night is the easiest themed night of the year to fill. People dress up, the questions write themselves, and a horror-movie round plays to a packed room.
91 questions in the library
Christmas Trivia
Holiday trivia is the office party and the December bar night in one. The films are on every channel, the songs are in every shop, and everyone has a strong opinion about the correct order of the Home Alone sequels.
112 questions in the library
Animal Trivia
Animal questions are the friendliest in trivia. Children know them, grandparents know them, and a picture of an unusual creature on the TV gets a reaction from every table.
