Field notes from the quizzes we actually run — corporate offsites, campus finals, annual days and L&D rooms. What works, what flops, and the operating detail nobody writes down.
The Quiz Granny Journal is the blog of Quiz Granny, a quiz company based in Bhopal that writes, produces and hosts live quiz events for corporates, colleges and schools across India. Every article is written by either Manas Chaturvedi, the company’s founder and quiz master or a subject matter expert who deeply specializes in the topics, so the advice comes from rooms we have actually run: corporate offsites and annual days, inter-college championships, school quizzes and gamified training sessions.
The journal covers four topics: corporate quizzing, gamification and training, campus and school quizzing, and audience engagement. Each piece is practical rather than promotional, covering which format suits a given headcount, how to write fair questions, how to handle registrations and AV, and what a professional quiz master does on the day. Quiz Granny has been registered in Bhopal since July 2023.

Start eight to ten weeks out and lock the date, the format and the budget before anything else. The format that scales cleanly across many colleges is a written preliminary round that filters the field down to four to six teams, followed by a stage final on lock-out buzzers. The full operating plan is in our step-by-step guide to organising an inter-college quiz.
One built for the room: questions written for that audience rather than a recycled pack, a format sized to the headcount and the time slot, and a host who can adjudicate a disputed answer quickly and fairly. Formats by occasion are covered in quiz ideas for corporate annual day, team building quiz ideas and corporate offsite activities.
