Question Writing 101
  • Multiple choice is the best option. 
  • Make sure your question has a definitive answer.
    • Bad Example: What is everyone’s favorite winter holiday party treat? Susan’s Fruitcake
    • Good Example: On what holiday does Susan always send herself flowers? Arbor Day
  • One or two-word answers are key.
    • Bad Example: What do people do on Arbor Day? People strive to plant trees, plants, and flowers. 
    • Good Example: What treat does Susan bring each year to the winter holiday party? Fruitcake
  • Remember that the goal is not to stump everyone but to have fun! People have fun when they know some answers.
  • The easiest way to write questions is to use our INSTANT TRIVIA forms and fill in the blanks (forms can be found below).
