Entertainment quiz questions and answers: Best entertainment quiz for your home pub quiz | Films | Entertainment
[ad_1]
It is really important when coming up with questions for a pub quiz to think of who your audience is.
No one enjoys a pub quiz where the questions feel like they are suited to people 50 years younger or older than them, so it is important to think about your crowd.
If most of your friends are in their 30s, entertainment questions based throughout the 1980s to present are best.
On the other hand, if your pub quizzers are in their 60s, it is better to think a little further back, more like the 1960s-1990s, and not necessarily to focus too much on present day movies or music.
However, if you are hosting your family on a pub quiz, there will be various ages represented, so in this case it is important to make sure there is a question for everyone.
In terms of topics, entertainment is far more than just films and music.
For those who are more interested in culture, theatre and art can also be represented in the questions, as well as musical genres which stretch further than just popular music, such as classical music and opera.
As well as that, topics like gaming and books are also ideal for the entertainment round, so long as there is not already a technology or literature round.
