35 best easy quiz questions
Another day, another quiz. Yep, we’re back in lockdown. Gone are the short lived days between lockdowns when you could spend your evenings in the pub, or at a restaurant (well, at least until 10pm). We practically miss the gym at this stage (almost). Instead, tap-poured pints have been replaced with quizzes. Chef-cooked meals have been replaced with quizzes. And yep, you guessed it, the bench press has been replaced with quizzes. IT’S ALL WE’RE DOING.
As we try to keep in touch with our nearest and dearest that we’re unable to see for a second time, we’ve got a calendar filled with video calls and Zoom meet ups. And in order to avoid spending them theorising over coronavirus lockdowns, pandemic predictions or hope about the potential vaccine, we’re doing what we do best: organised fun.
Whether it’s a general knowledge quiz you’re after or something more specific (entertainment questions, anyone?), we’ve also rounded up a selection of easy quiz questions, for those just looking for an excuse to have a drink. Bottoms up!
We know we’ve all been here before and you might find yourself feeling a bit quizzed-out, but we still need a way to keep in touch with friends and family further afield. Which is why an easy quiz is the perfect solution – you’ll all get full marks and not have to fight over the answers, plus you’ll get that all important time in the diary with friends and family. And hey, what else would you be doing with your weekends or evenings now? We have SO MUCH FREE TIME.
