Have you ever tried to write your own quiz questions?
Then you probably know, that it may sound easy to write good trivia quiz questions… at least I thought so myself in the beginning, but when you actually attempt to do it yourself, you may find it much harder than you imagined, even if you are a very skilled writer in other writing disciplines.

You know what is so great about trivia? Everything! Think about it… the most popular games are games that allow people to prove they are smarter and better than everyone else. Quizzes are great for office parties because it is the one time where it is okay to prove you are smarter than your boss or colleague. After keeping to yourself about it all day, it’s so nice to let the cat out of the bag! Trivia games are the ultimate social game, because everybody can be involved and through process of elimination… the last man standing will have complete bragging rights. So why throw another boring party dinner for friends when you can encourage everybody to participate in a battle of intellect?

Have you ever heard a sports player explain why he didn’t win? “I didn’t have the legs today”… “There was too much (or too little) wind out there”… Why not borrow a few of these ready-to-use excuses that you can rely on, when (or should I say if) you get a bad score at a quiz or trivia?
