Ah! I have a couple of good geography recs. First is A World of Curiosities by John Oldale, which spends 1-4 pages per nation (circa 2011) on fun cultural, historical, and nature-related facts. The illustrations and maps are impressive. Amazon

Second is Lonely Planet's Ultimate Travel Quiz Book. It's separated into three sections of quizzes of 20 questions each - easy, medium, and hard - and the questions are very interesting. (As a geography fan myself, the difficulty is really well maintained!) Amazon

Don't know much about heraldry or history quizzing books, but hopefully someone else can help!

Maybe include some books EVERYONE knows, yet not everyone knows who wrote them.

War and Peace

The Art of War

Robinson Crusoe

Dangerous Liaisons

The Scarlet Letter

Wuthering Heights

Little Women

Crime and Punishment

Lord of the Flies

Atonement

Charlotte's Web

are these from your book or new?

also, people looking for an ideal stocking stuffer this is the book I am referencing I have bought a few extras to leave in doctors waiting rooms and my local oncology clinic because trivia during chemo is a helpful for patients and their loved ones accompanying

Hi, check this book out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B4GJRRH8?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

It is only about animals but it was a lot of fun. I got it for my daughter and the kindle version was free that day. Worth checking out.

Friendly reminder... This person has been posting throughout the pandemic making my life and maybe yours better... Their recently released book is here:

I use a big doc on google docs, sometimes making separate docs and linking in the main one.
I would suggest either Google Sheets or maybe Notion which gives you some nice customizable tables and views a bit like a database but with no code required.

Yeah, Wordpress has a learning curve to get in and start customizing your own theme. It is written in PHP, so you should be able to integrate your existing code into it and you could maintain your CSV files as your data source instead of putting it into a database. It's not gonna be an easy process, but it sounds like you're a hobbyist coder. So, you may want to want to tinker around with Wordpress if you have a free weekend.

You can get a free SSL certificate to enable HTTPS from https://letsencrypt.org They are a certificate authority run by the EFF.

I'm a programmer, not really much of an SEO guy, so I can't get to o specific about recommendations on that. Since you are using Apache as your server, you could use mod_rewrite (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html) to give your pages more SEO friendly URLS. Take a look at the URLs on Sporcle quizzes and you'll see how they cram them full of keywords.

I didn't realize you had a book for sale. I went ahead and bought a copy. You may as well sign up with the Amazon affiliate program, then you can get a cut of anything purchased through your link.

Not sure how well it will work for your needs, but I've been using Microsoft Forms for my org's surveys and it actually works fairly well for our needs. There's plenty of question type options and it has nice auto-suggestions for answer choices on multiple choice based on the question.

Please update us with what choice you do end up using as I'm also interested in learning what else others are trying. Thanks!

Here is the google meet link. meet.google.com/wdk-hngr-ktu Just show up at 9pm eastern and all will be explained. 35 questions. Should be done in less than an hour. Free to play all are welcome.

I used to be pretty serious about trivia, studying trivia is the most effective way to get better at trivia.

j-archive.com is probably the best free resource for study. Quizlet has some decent trivia sets (esp for stuff like flags and geography) but it's hit and miss. Graig Zethner's trivia books are excellent resources and have very descriptive answers which help with memorizing. Trivial Pursuit card sets are good practice.

Some lists on Wikipedia are useful for trivia, especially stuff like Oscar winners and Billboard charts etc.

I find it hard to memorize stuff I'm not that into, like baseball or current pop music, but repetition and study do work.

If your quiz has a lot of current events, read the paper every day. Doing crosswords can help with trivia too.

The company I write and host for put out a book that's available on Amazon. I guess some of my writing is in there but I don't get any cut of the sales. I think it's good stuff, though.

I'm also hosting a few online games, but I see you don't have internet access.

Thanks! I updated the colors to try to align with the cover of my latest book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1710664398/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=zethner&amp;qid=1574878756&amp;sr=8-4&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=trivialstudie-20&amp;linkId=f76542a417ba93f22e79ae9be48b5d80&amp;language=en_US

If you can spare $1 and have a Kindle and/or downloaded the desktop application, this book has 2,000 trivia questions across several categories. I'd double-check some of them though.

If you look at this sub's all-time top posts, you can also see some stuff others have made that was well-received for inspiration.

You can also turn to trivia podcast, which there are many of. Trivial Warfare. Good Job, Brain. Beat My Guest.

Nice work u/Baronvonchang!

You got #4, 5, 9, 11-13, 16, 18, and 19. You're close on #10.

Happy holidays!

Since you seem to like my trivia, you may be interested in my new book - Click here

There's actually a whole book filled with literary pun drink recipes called Tequila Mockingbird.

Personally, I enjoy The Last of the Mojitos and The Old Man and the Seagram's.

Check out "American Pub Trivia: Volume II":

http://www.amazon.com/American-Pub-Trivia-Volume-II/dp/1495248410

Hands down, the best Trivia book on the market. Tons of ideas and great questions there. You can basically run a trivia night for 3 months based on that alone.
