National Science Week Pub Trivia
Are you a pub trivia punter, or think quiz nights are a quintessential part of your life? You’ve come to the right place!
In 2026, National Science Week is trialling a national pub trivia campaign.
Pub trivia companies around the country are encouraged to register to hold a special National Science Week round (or 3...) in their weekly sessions during August. We’ve developed a suite of questions you can use, ranging from science-at-the-movies, to Aussie science innovations, to adults-only trivia. Who could resist learning about southern right whales and their one-tonne testicles?
By choosing to ‘Register a Public Pub Trivia Event’ we’ll send you a link to our question bank FOR FREE and your trivia night will be listed as a public event on our National Science Week website, so more people will hear about it.
National Science Week runs from 15-23 August 2026. You may wish to use these questions during Science Week, or any time in August. We’ve developed 4 rounds of 10 questions, so you could run one round every week in August!
If you’d like to use the trivia at your workplace, or with your friends and family in a private capacity, you can choose to ‘Register for a Private Pub Trivia Event’ and we’ll send you a link to the question bank.
Please keep in mind these questions are designed for adults and are written in a pub-trivia style. They are generally light-hearted in nature and designed to appeal to people with a wide range of interests.
If you’d like even more trivia, you can also sign up for a Brain Break. Brain Breaks are a great way to celebrate Science Week in your school or workplace, and include trivia rounds for both children and adults.
We’d love to hear how you find using these questions! Feel free to share your experience with scienceweek@questacon.edu.au. Feel free to tag us on social media or use #ScienceWeek and share photos of your events.
