Trivia questions

Trivia questions with answers, by category

Every quiz night has the same moment: someone has offered to host, and they are scrolling for questions with ten minutes to go. These lists are for that moment, one subject at a time, with the answers right under the questions.

Pick a category, read the questions out loud, and keep score however your table likes.

Trivia questions by category

How these lists are made

Every list here follows the same rules, so you can mix rounds from different pages in one evening.

  • At least 40 questions a page, sorted from easy to hard or, on the closest-number page, in themed rounds.
  • Each question appears on one page only, so two rounds never repeat.
  • Each answer sits directly under its question, and every third one comes with a line of story.
  • Every page names its sources and the date its answers were checked.

Most questions are adapted from the game's own packs: the trivia from OpenTriviaQA and the Open Trivia Database under CC BY-SA 4.0, and the numbers from Wikidata and public reference works. The rest were written for this site, each one checked against the source named on its page.

Questions people ask

Where can I find trivia questions with answers? On the category pages above: each one has at least 40 questions, with the answer under every question.

How many trivia questions do you need for a quiz night? Thirty to fifty: three to five rounds of ten, with a break between rounds and a tiebreaker kept for the end.

Can I use these questions for my own quiz night? Yes. Read them out, print them, mix the rounds. The questions adapted from OpenTriviaQA and the Open Trivia Database are shared under CC BY-SA 4.0, so if you publish them, credit the source, link the license, say what you changed and share your version under the same license.

If nobody wants to host

Somebody has to read the questions, and that person never gets to answer one. Quizy is an AI quiz host that reads each question out loud, listens for the answers and keeps score, so the person who offered to host gets to play. Download on the App Store.
