What is in the bank
Around three hundred questions across eight topics: traditions and origins, food and drink, carols and music, films and television, geography and weather, history, language and words, and numbers and dates. Each one is tagged easy, medium or hard.
Topics are weighted the way a real quiz is: more on traditions and food than on anything else, because those are the rounds where everyone can have a go. The history and language questions are the ones to use sparingly.
Why you might want the bank rather than a quiz
If you are running a quiz for a group you know, picking questions yourself is much better than taking twenty at random. You can avoid the topic one person always wins, include two questions aimed at someone specific, and keep the difficulty rising rather than jumping about.
Print the bank with answers alongside and mark the ones you want. Then build the player sheet on the printable quiz page with your chosen count and difficulty.
Accuracy
Questions are checked against reference sources and dates are given as commonly accepted rather than disputed. Where a fact genuinely has two versions, for instance which year a tradition started depending on which country you count, the answer sheet says so rather than picking one and causing an argument.
