Generate Pub Quiz Questions for Your Next Home Round

Writing a quiz round that is fun and fair is harder than it looks, especially when you want that satisfying oh of course groan when the answer lands. Tell it the theme and how hard you want it, and it builds a round that works across knowledge levels. Good for anyone running a home or community quiz who would rather not just lift questions off the first website they find.
