How many rounds and questions should a quiz have?
Most quiz nights run for about two hours. Six to eight rounds of eight to ten questions fits that, with a break in the middle.
A rough guide
- Allow 30 to 45 seconds a question for multiple choice, more for questions that need thought.
- Add about two minutes a round for the scoreboard and moving on.
- A 60 question quiz usually takes around 90 minutes with a break.
Keep it varied
Mix question types in a round or give each round its own style. Picture rounds, connections and guess the order all break up a run of plain questions.
