Trivia Questions and Answers by Category
Every topic in Boardit’s question bank has a page of its own, and this is the list of them. Each page holds a sample of real questions with the answers marked, written for that subject rather than scraped into it — so the football page asks about finals people watched, and the flags page is winnable by somebody who has never studied a map. They are free to read and there is nothing to sign up for.
They are also the same questions the game asks. Trivia Tavern draws from these pools live: one person opens a room, everybody joins with a five-character code, and answers go in on each player’s own phone against a clock. So a page here works two ways — read it to settle an argument or to build a quiz night by hand, or pick the topics you liked and play the round properly.
Sports
Eight sports, and the questions lean on what was watched rather than what was tabulated — the final, the comeback, the transfer that made no sense. Soccer is the deepest pool in the bank; boxing and tennis are the most forgiving for a table where only one person follows the sport.
Movies
Three topics covering the films that filled cinemas, the animation that outlasted the children it was made for, and the awards nights people still argue about. Broad enough that almost nobody at a table draws a blank, and specific enough at the hard end to separate a viewer from a watcher.
TV shows
Sitcoms, reality formats, anime and cartoons — the four corners of television that people quote at each other. This is the category where age splits a table hardest, which is either the problem or the entire point depending on who you invited.
Music
Pop, rock, hip-hop and the one-hit wonders, running from the sixties to last year. Music questions reward having been alive at the right moment more than any other category, so a mixed-age table plays this one very unevenly and very loudly.
Geography
Capitals, flags and landmarks: the three geography topics that work as questions rather than as a map test. All three are unusually fair — nobody needs to have studied anything, and the hard tier is the countries that do not make the news.
History
The ancient world, the two world wars, the inventions that changed what a century looked like, and the rulers who took the credit. History questions here ask what happened and when, not how to spell it, and the easy tier is genuinely easy for anyone who sat through school.
Video games
Five topics across the whole medium — the retro era, the hardware, the competitive scene, the characters and the modern blockbusters. The most generation-specific category in the bank, and the one where the person who never plays still knows the mascots.
Internet & memes
Memes, platforms and the moments the web decided to keep. It ages faster than anything else here, so the questions favour the things that outlived their week over whatever was briefly everywhere.
Animals & nature
Species, habitats, records and the biology that sounds invented. A reliable pick for a mixed table, because natural history is the rare subject almost everybody absorbed some of without ever choosing to.
General knowledge
The everyday end of science, plus a general mix that draws from everywhere. This is the category to take when a table cannot agree on a category — nothing in it assumes you followed a sport, a series or a scene.
What is on each page
A topic page opens with a paragraph about the subject — what the questions cover, where they get hard, and who at a table tends to run away with it. Then comes the sample: multiple-choice questions with four options each, the correct one marked, and an easy, medium or hard label so you can see the shape of the pool. Nothing is hidden behind a toggle, because the point of the page is to be read straight through or copied out.
The full pool behind each topic is much larger than the sample — around two hundred questions for most subjects, and seven hundred for football. That is what a live game draws from, which is why a group can play the same topic several evenings running without seeing a repeat.
