25 questions on “what year is this?”. Quizzers have to guess the year from the events described. What year did the first GameBoy come out? Was that really the year of Madonna’s first album?

These questions are great as a resource for writing your own quizzes, or they can easily be formatted into a fun history round. Quizzers will have to draw on their knowledge of politics, history, celebrity news, and pop culture! These questions would also make a great classroom resource for teachers.
