A pub quiz at Glada Stinsen is usually team-based with several short rounds where you submit answers after each stage. Questions are often presented orally and/or on paper, and the pace is kept up with clear time limits of a few minutes per round.

Expect mixed question types such as multiple choice, 'what year', 'who is it', picture questions and short music clips. The scoring system is often 1 point per correct answer, and in case of a tie, a tie-breaking question may decide.

Prepare by arriving on time, ordering food and drink during breaks and having a pen ready, although answer sheets are often handed out. Mobile phone use to search for answers is not normally allowed, and the quiz leader usually decides in case of doubtful wording.

It's best to plan ahead for table bookings or to arrive early, especially if you are a larger group. Quiz nights can fill up seating quickly as teams need table space for answer sheets and the opportunity to hear the quiz host.

If booking is offered, it is usually a good idea to indicate that you will be attending the quiz, so that you are seated where the sound can be heard. If you drop in without a booking, you can often get a seat, but you may have to accept a smaller table or a seat further away from the reading.

Also bear in mind that lunch service and early arrivals can affect how tables are set up before the evening. During public holidays and seasonal periods, it is particularly important to double-check procedures and times by phone or email.

Most commonly, mobile phones cannot be used to search for answers during rounds. The aim is to ensure that the competition is fair and that all teams play on a level playing field, regardless of how fast they are at Googling.

Team size may have an upper limit, so large groups of friends sometimes need to split into two teams. If you are unsure, ask in advance what the rules are, so you don't have to reshuffle once the quiz has already started.

In case of doubtful answers, it is normally the quiz leader who decides whether the wording counts. A good trick is to write clearly and be consistent with names, years and units. In the event of a tie, a tie-breaker question, often a numerical question where the closest wins.

You can expect a mix of general education and more niche elements, often divided into rounds with clear categories. The approach tends to suit both beginners and experienced teams as the level of difficulty often varies between rounds.

Common themes include music (short intros, artists, lyrics), film and TV, sport, geography, history and 'what year'. Photo rounds with famous people and 'who's that' are also common, as are multiple choice questions when you want to keep the pace.

To prepare the team, think broadly: one person who knows music, someone who likes history and someone who knows geography will go a long way. As the questions are often short and clear, it is best to answer them directly and not get bogged down in long discussions.

A typical pub quiz often takes up most of the evening, with several rounds and short breaks in between. The pace tends to be quite fast as each round has a limited response time and the scores are totalled at the end.

Plan your orders smartly by ordering food early or in a clear break, so that you don't miss the reading or have to interrupt when you have to hand in your answers. If you want to eat properly, it may be easier to arrive earlier and eat before the quiz starts.

If participation costs a small fee, it is common for this to be paid separately from food and drink. Keep track of how payment is usually made (per team or per person) to avoid stress for the team. If the noise level is high, it can also help to sit so that everyone can hear the quiz host.

It is best to contact staff in advance to get a concrete idea of the entrance, level differences and toilet facilities. Accessibility in a pub environment can vary, and small thresholds or narrow passages can make a big difference when there are lots of people.

Ask for a table with good access, preferably near the entrance and with space to turn a wheelchair around without blocking the walkway. Also ask if there is a toilet that works for a wheelchair and how to get there when the room is full.

If you are coming as a team: mention that you need a seat where you can both hear the quiz host and sit comfortably. Feel free to arrive a little earlier than usual, as it is easier to rearrange and find a good seat before the quiz starts and before the bar gets crowded.

The noise level can be higher than at a regular dinner because many teams are talking at the same time and the quiz host is reading out questions. For those with hearing impairments, seating is often crucial to ensure equal participation.

Ask for a place near the quiz host or speakers, but not right next to the bar where the background noise is often the loudest. If the questions are also handed out on paper, this can make things easier, so ask if this arrangement is being used on the night.

A practical tip is to designate one person in the team to focus on listening and directly write down the questions clearly, so that everyone can read. If music rounds are played with short intros, it can help to sit where the sound is even and not bouncing. If necessary, you can ask the quiz host to repeat a question during the break.

The lighting in a pub environment can be dim, but this can often be overcome with the right preparations. If you are visually impaired, it is wise to plan to be able to read and write even in low light.

Bring your own glasses for close-up work and consider a small, discreet reading lamp if it usually works in similar environments. Ask staff if you can get a table under a lamp or near a light source, as it often makes more difference than you think.

If questions are handed out on paper, ask the team to write extra large and use a dark pen with clear letters. For picture rounds, it can be harder to see details from a distance, so sit closer to where pictures are shown or ask to come forward briefly when allowed. Also prepare the team to read out the options aloud within the team.

Yes, it is usually possible to order food and drink during the quiz, but it is a good idea to time your order to avoid losing focus. As rounds often have a short response time, ordering in the middle of the reading can cause the team to miss important details.

A practical approach is to order directly when you arrive, or in a clear break between rounds. If there are several of you, one person can take responsibility for the order while the rest listen and write.

If you want to eat properly, it may be easier to arrive earlier and eat before the quiz starts, especially if you know you'll be distracted by table service. Also, bear in mind that some dishes take longer, so choose something that suits the pace of the evening. If you have allergies, it's best to let us know early so that the kitchen can deal with them without stress.

The best way to contact Glada Stinsen is by phone or email to get a clear message about the quiz day, start time and whether there is a participation fee. This is particularly important for public holidays or periods when times can be adjusted.

Use these details to ask for practical details: address Odengatan 45, 113 51 Stockholm, telephone 08-32 00 15 and e-mail info@gladastinsen.se. Feel free to ask for answers to several points in the same contact, so that you do not have to call again.

Good questions to ask are: whether booking is recommended, how big a team size is allowed, whether mobile phone rules are strictly enforced, and whether questions are handed out on paper. If anyone in your party has accessibility needs, you can also ask for a specific description of the entrance, toilet and best location to hear the quiz host. This will make the evening run more smoothly for the whole team.
