300 Trivia Questions and Answers to Jumpstart Your Game Night
Whether or not you are a competitive person, there is something about trivia that just brings it out in everyone. Unlike Monopoly, which changes people (and not for the better) while playing, trivia tends to generate a healthier type of competitiveness. And we've got 300 trivia questions to make your competitive game night truly unforgettable.
All you really need are some categories (like animal trivia, entertainment trivia, etc.), and some questions and answers for each. You will also want to make sure everyone agrees on the level of difficulty you want in your questions. Usually, you want to have general questions that at least most adults will know, otherwise, it wouldn't be much fun if no one can get anything correct.
So, get your snacks and beer ready. We have the most comprehensive list of 300 questions and answers for your trivia night of fun!
How to play trivia
Trivia has to be the easiest (and maybe the hardest at the same time) to play. You can play as individuals or as teams, and you are answering category-based questions.
That's it!
You can decide whether the teams will blurt out the answers, or if each will take turns. If one team answers a question incorrectly, then the other team could steal the point by getting it right.
Each person or team with the most answers right is the winner of the game.
If you are playing in teams, you may want to nominate someone to be the quiz master or host. They will not be answering the questions, but instead be the one determining who answered the question correctly, first, and then awards that team a point.
Questions can be easy or hard, but the best ones are answerable. If they are too hard for the players, it takes the fun out of the game.
If your questions can make a person say, "I should have known that," even if they didn't get the question right, then you have really great trivia questions!
Trivia is a game of searching down deep in those memory banks for long-lost pieces of useless knowledge that you have picked up along the way in life!
Trivia FAQs
In case you are new to trivia, here is the rundown of how to play!
How many people do you need for trivia?
You can play trivia as individuals, but teams are the most fun. Having two to six players can make for a well-rounded game. If you are playing in teams, make sure you have enough people to play as well as have an individual be the designated host.
How difficult should the trivia questions be?
Trivia questions should be as difficult as you would like them. However, the best games are made up of well-rounded categories, with general knowledge-based questions. Making trivia questions too hard will make the game boring and unappealing to the majority of players.
Unless your group consists of a bunch of geniuses, stick with making your questions interesting and fun.
How many questions are asked in a round of trivia?
After you have your teams in order, pre-determine how many rounds you would like to play. Then have 7-10 prepared questions for each of those rounds. Either spread out the categories throughout your questions, or you can just choose to do each round per category. Generally, allow about two minutes for teams to try and answer each question. Setting a time limit for each question allows the game to keep moving and not drag on too long.
