“Quick and Easy”!
If you have got little time to spend putting together a printed quiz then we have an area especially for you – our
Ready-Made Quizzes page. Here you will find a selection of several different quizzes that you can download and print (complete with bespoke details about you or your organization) within just a couple of minutes. These compilations change every week and they have been put-together by us to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
“Intricate”!
If you want to get more involved then you can have great fun putting together a printed quiz that is exactly right for your target audience. It might be that you want your quiz to feature mainly sports questions, you might prefer the quiz to have an arts bias or then again you might want to focus on a particular hobby or entertainment. Whatever your requirements we provide you, the quizmaster, with the means to select the sets of questions that match your needs. The notes that follow should make you an expert in no time.
The Names we Give to Things
A quiz "Category" is a subject such as Books, Entertainment, Sports or News.
A quiz "Type" defines the way a quiz is played and we have 5 formats to choose from.
A quiz "Title" is the name of an actual quiz - every quiz contains 10 questions and has a unique title.
A quiz “Compilation” is your ultimate goal – a collection of quiz Titles that are brought together to form your bespoke printout. A quiz “Compilation” will typically contain 5 to 10 quiz Titles (a total of 50 to 100 questions).
Quiz Categories
There are 25 Categories to choose from and each one contains all five quiz Types. The categories are all displayed on the home page and also down the left hand side of all other pages.
Quiz Types
Each of our quizzes has 10 questions so you can rely on a simple consistency. You will often come across the following line of links:
Click the links above to see how each quiz looks - Each link takes you to a different quiz Type.
Our most popular (and therefore most prolific) quizzes are Multiple Choice. As quizmaster you can choose for your compilations to show:
a) Questions and their multiple choice answers
b) Questions only (NO multiple choice answers)
c) ONLY the multiple choice answers
Picture quizzes present 10 different pictures along with captions that need to be matched with the pictures.
Anagrams provide 10 different sets of letters to be re-arranged into words on the given theme.
Ordered Lists are our most difficult type of quiz - 10 items need to be arranged into their correct order – prices, dates, sizes etc.
Word Searches provide a grid in which the quiz-player needs to find the ten hidden words.
Quiz Titles
We try to make each quiz Title as self explanatory as possible. You will see that each quiz Title has a number at the end of it just to make sure that it is unique. For most practical purposes you can ignore this number.
