6 steps to running the perfect quiz

Are you hosting a quiz night? Whatever the occasion TriviaPostman can take the work out of quizzing, leaving you with the fun bit. Once your quiz  is delivered to your inbox you will find everything you need. The download file includes:

  • Question sheets - You can choose if you want multiple choice or not
  • Answers - This is for the quiz master’s eyes only.
  • Answer sheet - This is where the quizzers write their answers

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you make the most of your quiz materials.

1. Download your quiz

Start by downloading your quiz; this will include the questions, answers, and blank answer sheets. Make sure you save the file somewhere easy to access, like your desktop or tablet.

2. Print your sheets

Print off the answer sheets; you will need one for each quizzer or team that will be playing. 

You can either print off the questions and answers or if you prefer you can keep the questions and answers on a tablet or phone for easy reference during the quiz.

Tip: Keep a few spare answer sheets on hand for late arrivals or extra teams. You can always use the spares for other quizzes.

3. Run the quiz

Read out the questions one by one while teams write their answers on the provided answer sheets. Try to keep the pace lively and give everyone enough time to write their answers down.

4. Mark the quiz

When you're ready to reveal the answers, fetch your “Answers” sheet. Go through the questions again and read out the correct answers. Teams can mark each other’s sheets or you can do the marking yourself, depending on the group size and setup.

5. Tally the scores

When all the quizzes are marked, write each team’s score in the top corner of their answer sheet. This makes it easy to tally everything at the end of the quiz and announce the winning team.

6. Grab a freebie
