Halloween Medium 24 questions · about 40 minutes · free PDF

The Printable Halloween Quiz

Twenty-four questions in four rounds, written to be read out loud: where Halloween came from, Halloween on screen, monsters and legends, and how the rest of the world marks the end of October.

Three sheets to print. The host sheet has the answers on it, and under most of them a line of context — the bit you say after the answer, when somebody asks why. The question sheet is the same quiz without the key, for anyone who would rather read along. The team sheet is numbered lines and a tick box, for the moment teams swap papers and mark each other.

Scary in the trivia sense only: nothing here is gory, so it works with a mixed room. Round four is the harder one, and a good one to play for double points.

The online version marks itself. The sheets are yours to print.
