General Knowledge Trivia Questions
A bit of everything, sorted by difficulty. 8 topics, 510 questions, each with the answer and a one-line reason.
General knowledge is the round nobody can revise for, which is exactly why it decides quiz nights. The sets in this category cover the ground a pub quiz actually covers: science that stuck from school, geography you half remember from atlases, the odd fact about animals or food that turns out to be true. Each topic is split into easy, medium and hard, so a family with a nine-year-old and a retired chemist can play the same set at different levels. Every answer carries a one-line explanation, and the questions that deserve more get a page of their own.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as general knowledge trivia?
Questions a well-read adult could answer without specialist training: science basics, geography, common history, language and everyday facts. Nothing that needs a degree or a fandom.
Which topic should a mixed group start with?
The General Knowledge set itself, on easy. It spreads across subjects so no one is shut out, and the score tells you which specialist round to try next.
Are the answers checked?
Yes. Each question is verified before it goes on the site, and anything whose answer changes over time, such as records or current office-holders, is kept off deliberately.
