Yes, you can have a pub quiz made with your own questions by a specialist. A professional quiz organiser puts together bespoke questions based on your input that completely match your organisation, team, theme or occasion. With specialists like Quizzzit, this is included as standard, at no extra cost. In this article, you can read how that works, what it costs and when a tailor-made quiz is the best choice.

What kind of custom questions can you have made for a pub quiz?

For a pub quiz with your own questions, multiple categories are possible: questions about company history, internal jokes or team trivia, but also questions around a specific theme such as music, film or sport. In addition, you can think of questions in your organisation's house style, personalised picture rounds or a video message from management incorporated into the quiz.

The most requested types of custom questions for a quiz on location to be

  • Company questions: When was the company founded? Who is the longest-serving employee? What was the turnover in the first year?
  • Team questions: Who has taken the most holiday? Whose desk is the neatest? Questions based on surveys or photos of colleagues.
  • Theme questions: A full music round with tracks the team knows, or a film round around a specific genre or era.
  • Visual rounds: Recognise the colleague as a baby, guess the logo of a client or supplier, or identify a location from the company's history.
  • Current questions: Questions about recent developments within the organisation, such as a new strategy, a recent project or an upcoming merger.

A good specialist actively thinks along about which questions generate the most engagement. Questions that evoke recognition, provoke plenty of laughter and interaction, and spark competition work best for groups. That said, no one must feel left out, so the questions are always accessible to everyone, not just insiders.

How does the process of having bespoke questions made work?

The process of having custom questions made generally takes place in three steps: an intake or briefing, the processing of your input by the specialist, and a final check before the quiz takes place. You do not need to write any quiz questions yourself, but you provide the raw information on which the specialist bases the questions.

Step 1: Briefing and input provision

After booking, you will receive a questionnaire or template from the quiz organiser. In it, you indicate what kind of questions you want, on which topics, and what information you have available. Think of a timeline of the company's history, names of colleagues, photos or specific trivia you want to include. The more input you provide, the more personal the quiz will be.

Step 2: Processing and formatting by the specialist

The specialist will process your input into professionally drafted quiz questions, including visual material, music clips or video clips where applicable. The questions will be integrated into the quiz software and tailored to the level and composition of the group. Depending on the concept and group size, we use our own interactive technology, such as keypads or participation via smartphone. This way, everyone stays involved, even with larger groups.

Step 3: Review and final approval

Prior to the event, you will have the opportunity to check the questions for factual accuracy. This prevents unintentionally incorrect information from ending up in the quiz. The experienced quizmaster is standard well in advance, ensuring that there is still room for minor adjustments on the day itself.

What does it cost to have a pub quiz made with your own questions?

With most professional quiz specialists, custom questions are included in the basic price of the quiz. You therefore do not pay extra for having your own questions made. The total costs for an on-site pub quiz with a quizmaster depend on the group size, the location, the duration of the event and any additional wishes such as a completely custom corporate identity or a multilingual version.

How to choose a fun group activity?

Before you make a choice for a pub quiz with your own questions or another interactive activity, it is useful to answer a number of practical questions. This way, you can choose a format that truly suits your group and occasion.

  • Are you looking mainly for lots of laughter and a relaxed atmosphere, or rather collaborative, in-depth work?
  • Must everyone be able to participate at the same time?
  • Is the group mixed in age, language, or function?
  • Is an activity at the table better than something active?
  • How much time is available: 45 minutes, 1.5 hours or a full programme?
  • Should the activity be linked to a company party, dinner, drinks reception or team day?
  • Is customisation desired, such as your own colleagues, themes, or house style?

What is the difference between a standard pub quiz and a tailored quiz?

A standard pub quiz uses generic, pre-composed questions about general knowledge, culture or current affairs. A tailor-made quiz for a corporate event contains questions specifically adapted to your organisation, team, industry or theme, and is fully personalised in terms of visual presentation and content to suit your requirements.

The main differences at a glance:

  • Content: A standard quiz uses universal questions; a tailored quiz contains company-specific, team-oriented or theme-oriented questions
  • Experience A tailored quiz creates recognition, plenty of laughter and interaction, and connection within the team; a standard quiz is less personal
  • Brand identity: For a bespoke quiz for a corporate event, you can incorporate logos, colours and tone of voice into the screen design
  • Language A bespoke quiz can be provided in Dutch, German, English or French, ideal for international teams
  • Engagement Asking your own questions about colleagues and the organisation significantly increases engagement, because everyone recognises themselves in the content.

For companies that Organising a quiz night for a large group a tailored quiz is almost always the better choice. The difference in experience is significant: participants are still talking about a quiz that was really about themselves weeks later, whereas a standard quiz is quickly forgotten.

For which occasions is a pub quiz with your own questions suitable?

A pub quiz with custom questions is suitable for virtually any corporate or celebratory event where group engagement is key. Think of staff parties, team building, kick-offs, anniversaries, conferences, farewell parties and end-of-year gatherings. The quiz works for smaller teams up to large corporate events with hundreds or even thousands of participants.

Concrete occasions where a tailored quiz for a corporate event works brilliantly

  • Team building A quiz with custom questions creates a connection between departments or new colleagues in an accessible way
