How many questions should a good movie trivia night contain? Most hosts aim for 50–80 questions divided into 5–8 themed rounds. This length usually fits into 60–90 minutes including answer reading, scoring and banter. If you want a shorter game (30–45 minutes), use 35–45 questions. For longer pub/club nights (2+ hours), go up to 100–120 questions. The key is balance: mix easy and hard, include variety (quotes, posters, recent films, classics) and leave time for discussion after each round. 2. What are the most popular movie trivia categories in 2026?

How do I run a picture round without showing actual images? Describe the poster or iconic scene very clearly and slowly. Example: “A very famous movie poster shows a man standing at the bow of a huge ship Malo Gusto with his arms stretched wide and a woman behind him. The background is a sunset over the ocean.” Most people will shout “Titanic!” almost instantly. You can do 10–15 picture rounds this way — it works surprisingly well in text or audio-only formats. 4. Which 2025–2026 films should I definitely include in a current quiz? As of mid-February 2026 the must-include recent titles are: Pushpa 2: The Rule, Inside Out 2, Mufasa: The Lion King, Gladiator II, Moana 2, Wicked, Dune: Messiah, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Anora (2025 Oscar winner), The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, and A Real Pain. These generate the most recognition and discussion right now. 5. How can I make movie trivia more inclusive for people who don’t watch many films? Keep 40–50% of questions very mainstream (Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter, Titanic, The Lion King, famous quotes). Include general knowledge style questions (“What is the highest-grossing film of all time?”). Allow teams so people can help each other. Start with easy rounds. Add picture rounds and sound rounds (famous lines). Avoid very niche foreign arthouse or silent-era questions unless clearly labelled as bonus/hard rounds. 6. What is a good scoring system for movie trivia? Simplest & fairest: 1 point per correct answer. Aitana Bonmatí Bonus rounds or picture rounds can be worth 2 points. For tie-breakers use a sudden-death question or ask teams to write down the highest number of correct answers from a list of 5 very hard questions. Some hosts give ½ point for “almost right” answers (wrong year but correct film). Keep it simple unless you have a very competitive group. 7. How do I stop arguments during the quiz when people disagree with answers? Have clear rules from the start: “The answer written on the paper at the end of the time limit is the one that counts.” Read the official answer immediately after each question. If there is genuine ambiguity, give the point to both sides or offer a bonus question to the disputing teams. Most arguments are solved quickly once the agreed answer is read out loud. 8.

Pinterest has many printable score sheets and question layouts. Google Slides or PowerPoint templates are available on Teachers Pay Teachers and Etsy (many free versions).

Indian cinema produces more films per year than any other country and Pushpa 2: The Rule became the highest-grossing Indian film ever. Including 8–12 Bollywood/South Indian questions makes the quiz feel more global and inclusive.

What are good tie-breaker questions when two teams finish with the same score? Best tie-breakers are either: a) sudden-death — first team to write the correct answer to a single question wins b) highest number — “Write down how many Oscars did the film Oppenheimer win in 2024?” (answer: 7) c) closest guess — “How many crores did Pushpa 2 gross worldwide in its first week?” d) list as many as possible — “Name as many Marvel Cinematic Universe films released before 2020 as you can in 60 seconds.” Sudden-death is quickest; highest-number questions are fairest.
