A quiz is one theme with a combination of games, and each theme comes in several versions with a different mix. These are the games an evening is built from — with whether they work on paper, and whether they exist today.

Open questions and multiple choice, the pub quiz as you know it. A spelling slip still counts.
Five clues, one connection. The sooner you see it, the more it is worth.
Drag to the year. Spot on is five points, and close still scores.
Name as many as you can from a list. One table with eight of them makes noise.
The clues get easier as they come. Guessing early is worth the most.
More or less than the last one? Keep the run going as long as you can.
Put five events in order. Partly right is partly scored.
Who comes closest to the number? Nobody knows it, everybody joins in.
The music cuts out and the table finishes the line. Then the song plays on, missing piece and all.
The first seconds of a song. The faster you name it, the more it scores.
What year is this from? Close still scores.
Sound effects, film lines and TV themes. Short, and surprisingly hard.
A crop that widens step by step. Every step costs a point.
A street view on the telly, everyone drops a pin. The closer, the better.
A film, a song or a saying, told in emoji.
A phrase as a picture. If you see it, you see it at once.
Invent a fake answer; the others have to spot the real one. Points for guessing and for fooling.
Everybody stands. Wrong means sit down, until one table is left.
Stake points before you see the question. It makes the last round matter.
First to press gets to answer. A wrong answer passes the turn along.
Ten statements at speed. A good warm-up, or just after the break.
Four things, one does not belong. Short, and always worth arguing about.
These belong to no game in particular. The buyer turns them on or off before the evening; they are never baked into a pack.
A wrong answer costs points. It changes the whole calculation at the table.
A tight time per question. Leave it off and everybody plays at their own pace.
Skip a picture or music round, for instance when someone playing cannot see or hear it.
The source with every answer, on or off. Off by default; the host can always call it up.
The free quiz contains six of these games, from open questions to the picture round.
