Decades
This page collects all our decade-themed quizzes in one place, covering the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Each decade has its own set of picture quizzes, dingbat puzzles, and trivia rounds — so whether you're building a full pub quiz night around a single era or mixing things up across all four decades, everything you need is here as an instant PDF download. Print, play, and repeat.
A quick note on formats: picture quizzes come on a single printed sheet with space for answers, a quiz master answer sheet, and usually a clues version. Dingbat quizzes work the same way but use picture puzzles instead of photos. Trivia quizzes vary — some are multiple choice, some are match-ups, some are fill-in-the-blanks — but all come with answer sheets included. You'll find more detail on each format in the section intros below.
1960s picture quizzes
Each of our picture quizzes fits on a single printed A4 or letter sheet. There are twelve questions, with space on the sheet itself for players to write their answers. A separate quiz master answer sheet is included with every download, so you don't need to organise anything extra at your end. Most of our picture quizzes also come with a clues version — the same twelve images, but with some letters of each answer filled in, which lets you dial the difficulty up or down depending on your group. Where a quiz title includes the word "Mystery", the photos are close-up or cropped shots that make even familiar subjects harder to place.
1960s Bands
Twelve classic 1960s bands to identify from band photos. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are both in there, which gives most people a confident start. But the quiz also covers bands where people know the music far better than the faces — Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Yardbirds, and The Velvet Underground are all included, and that's where the arguments tend to start. A clues version is included if you want to make it slightly more accessible. You can see a full preview of all twelve images on the Etsy listing. A strong music round for any 60s-themed night, or as a pub quiz picture round for a broadly mixed group.

1960s Famous Faces
Twelve of the most iconic faces of the 1960s — from music, politics, sport, and the arts. Neil Armstrong and Marilyn Monroe are both in there and will give most players an immediate start. But the quiz also includes figures that people recognise on sight but sometimes struggle to name quickly, and the mystery close-up format means even familiar faces can catch you out when you're only working from a single cropped still. Clues version included. See the full quiz on the Etsy listing before you buy. Good for pub quiz picture rounds or as part of any 60s nostalgia event.
View on Etsy1960s dingbats quizzes
A dingbat is a picture puzzle where an image — or a combination of images — represents a word or phrase. In these quizzes, each dingbat clue represents a song title, film title, or TV show name from the relevant decade. So instead of being shown a photo of the thing and asked to name it, you're shown a visual pun and asked to decode it. Like all our other quizzes, dingbats come on a single printed sheet with twelve questions, answer space on the sheet, and a full quiz master answer sheet included. Most also come with a clues version. The clue for "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas and the Papas, for example, uses a raisin dreaming about the outline of California — which is exactly the kind of thing that makes someone groan and then immediately want to try the next one.
1960s Hits Dingbats
Twelve classic 1960s hit songs, each represented by a picture puzzle. "Paint It Black" and "Ring of Fire" are both in there and will get most people started. The quiz also includes tracks where the visual pun takes more thought — "Waterloo Sunset" uses Water, a Loo, and a Sunset, which sounds laboured until you see it drawn out, at which point it makes perfect sense. Clues version included. Full preview on the Etsy listing before you buy. A good music round for 60s-themed parties, or for pub quiz nights with a broadly retro-minded audience.
View on Etsy
1960s Movie Dingbats
Twelve 1960s film titles as picture puzzles. "Mary Poppins" and "Midnight Cowboy" are both in there. The clue for "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" uses a good expression, a bad one, and a UGG boot laying down — which sounds implausible until you see it drawn, at which point it lands with that specific satisfaction that the best dingbats produce. Clues version included. Full preview on the Etsy listing. Works well as a film round for any retro quiz night, and pairs nicely with the other film dingbat quizzes from later decades on this page.
View on Etsy
1960s TV Show Dingbats
Twelve 1960s TV shows — mostly US productions — as picture puzzles. "Batman" and "Star Trek" are both in there, which is not a spoiler since neither of those clues reveals how the puzzle works. The clue for "I Dream of Jeannie" uses an eye dreaming of a genie, which is one of those straightforward-sounding clues that still somehow surprises you when you see it. Clues version included. Full preview on the Etsy listing. Works well for international audiences, since these shows had global reach.

1960s UK TV Show Dingbats
A British-focused version of the 1960s TV dingbats, covering twelve classic UK shows including Doctor Who, The Prisoner, and Coronation Street. The clue for "Joe 90" involves some multiplication — 9 x 10 = 90, as it turns out — which is perhaps the most mathematically rigorous puzzle on the page. Shows like "That Was the Week That Was" and "The Likely Lads" are also included, which require a few more lateral steps. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. Best for UK audiences and ideal for any 60s nostalgia event.
View on Etsy1960s trivia quizzes
Our trivia quizzes cover a range of formats — match-ups, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks, and more. All come as instant PDF downloads with answer sheets included. They're designed to print on standard A4 or letter paper and work as standalone activities or as rounds within a larger quiz night.
1960s Couples
A match-up quiz where you're given 18 famous faces and asked to pair each one with their 1960s partner. John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Elvis Presley & Priscilla Beaulieu, and Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton are all in there. Some couples are well remembered as couples; others — like Mia Farrow & Frank Sinatra, or Joan Baez & Bob Dylan — are ones people know as individuals but don't always connect together at the right point in time. Answer sheet included. A good trivia activity for any 60s-themed event, particularly for groups with older participants.
View on Etsy1970s picture quizzes
Our 1970s picture quizzes follow the same format as the 1960s picture quizzes above — twelve questions on one sheet, answer space included, quiz master answer sheet provided, and a clues version in most cases. Where the title includes "Mystery", photos are close-up or cropped shots.
1970s Bands
Twelve 1970s bands to identify from band photos. ABBA and Led Zeppelin are both in there, which covers a lot of ground immediately. But with the full pool including The Clash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steely Dan, and Supertramp, the quiz can head in some genuinely varied directions. A clues version is included. Full preview on the Etsy listing before you buy. Works well as a pub quiz round, or as a music activity at a 70s birthday party.

Mystery 70s Corrie Characters
Twelve Coronation Street characters from the 1970s, each shown as a close-up mystery shot. Bet Lynch and Hilda Ogden are in there, and any regular Corrie viewer should get those without too much trouble. The quiz also includes characters people remember by name but don't always place by face — Ena Sharples and Albert Tatlock both feature, and close-cropped black-and-white stills from fifty years ago are trickier than you'd expect. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. A natural fit for any event where Coronation Street fans are in the room.
View on Etsy
Mystery 1970s Pop Stars
Twelve 1970s pop stars in mystery close-up format. David Bowie and Elton John are both in there, and most people will identify those quickly — the visual style of both artists in their 70s peak is distinctive enough even from a cropped still. Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, and Bruce Springsteen are also included, alongside a few that require more thought even from confirmed music fans. Clues version included. Full preview on the Etsy listing. Good for pub quiz nights or as part of a 70s music-themed evening.
View on Etsy
Pop Stars Born in the 1970s
This one has a twist: it's not about the music of the 1970s, but the pop stars who were born in that decade. Robbie Williams, Eminem, and Shakira are all in there, which sounds like a giveaway in print but is harder from a single photo than it sounds. Tupac Shakur is also included, as is Peter Andre — and identifying either from a single still is a different skill from just knowing who they are. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. A good one for groups where the younger members might actually have an edge over the older ones for once.

1970s UK Sitcoms
Twelve British sitcoms from the 1970s to identify from a still image. Fawlty Towers is in there, and nearly everyone gets that one. But this decade had an extraordinary range of UK comedy — The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Rising Damp, and Terry and June are all included — and the quiz covers both the well-loved and the half-remembered. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. Perfect for pub quiz nights or family evenings with anyone who grew up watching British comedy on BBC or ITV.
View on Etsy1970s dingbats quizzes
Our 1970s dingbat quizzes work exactly the same way as the 1960s dingbats described above — twelve picture puzzles per sheet, answer sheet included, clues version in most cases.
1970s Film Dingbats
Twelve 1970s films as picture puzzles. Star Wars and Jaws are both in there, which gives confident film fans a solid start. The clue for "Manhattan" uses a man wearing a hat — Man Hat On — which is the satisfying sort of lateral thinking that makes these quizzes work. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is also included. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. A strong film round for any 70s quiz night, and pairs well with the other film dingbats from different decades on this page.
View on Etsy
1970s Hits Dingbats
Twelve 1970s hit songs in dingbat format. Dancing Queen and American Pie are both in there. The clue for "You're So Vain" uses a needle and thread — U R Sew Vein — which is one of the better visual puns in any of our quizzes. Hotel California and I Will Survive are also included, alongside some that require more careful thought about the exact title wording. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. A strong music round for any 70s quiz night.
View on Etsy
1970s TV Show Dingbats
Twelve 1970s TV shows as picture puzzles, covering mostly US productions. Happy Days and Columbo are both in there. The clue for "The Waltons" uses walls and heavy objects — Wall Tons — which is pleasingly literal. The one for "The Six Million Dollar Man" involves a sum that should equal a million, plus a man, which works better as an image than it sounds in description. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. Works well for a broad audience given the mix of US shows.

1970s UK TV Show Dingbats
A British-focused version of the 1970s TV dingbats, covering twelve classic UK shows. Dad's Army, Porridge, and Fawlty Towers are all in there. The clue for Tiswas uses tea and a wasp — Teas Wasp — which feels like exactly the right level of absurdity for that particular show. Butterflies is also included, which is a show many people watched without necessarily being able to name on demand. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. Best for UK audiences, and a solid round for anyone who grew up with 1970s British television.

Our 1970s trivia quizzes cover a range of formats — see the 1960s trivia section above for a description of how these work. All are instant PDF downloads with answer sheets included.
1970s Books: Fill in the Blanks
A fill-in-the-blanks quiz where each question gives you a 1970s book title with one word missing. Watership Down, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Interview with the Vampire are all in there — though with the key word removed, you're working from the surrounding title rather than the phrase you know. The number of missing letters is given as a hint for each question. Answer sheet included. A good option for book groups or anyone who wants something a bit different from the usual picture rounds.

1970s Music Trivia
A twelve-question multiple choice quiz covering 1970s music. The questions go beyond the obvious — there's one about what happened to Stevie Wonder in a car crash in 1973, and another about what ABBA were originally called before they settled on the name. Every question has four options, so even uncertain answers have a fighting chance. Answer sheet included. Works well as a self-scoring round at pub quiz nights or as part of a 70s music-themed event.

1970s Quiz Pack
A bundle of three separate 1970s Trivia quizzes — volumes one, two, and three — which is a good option if you're hosting an event that needs multiple rounds of the same theme, or you just want more content from a single purchase. All three quizzes cover the decade across different questions, and answer sheets are included throughout. A useful starting point if you're building a full 70s quiz night from scratch and want to run the whole thing from one download.

1970s TV Characters
A match-up quiz where you connect 20 TV character names to the shows they appeared in. Huggy Bear and Archie Bunker are both in there, as is Polly Sherman from Fawlty Towers. The quiz also covers characters that even fans of the show might not know by name — who can name the housekeeper from The Brady Bunch without checking? Answer sheet included. Good for TV trivia enthusiasts and anyone with broad knowledge of 1970s television on both sides of the Atlantic.

1970s Trivia
A twelve-question multiple choice quiz covering the 1970s more broadly — politics, sport, world events, and pop culture. Questions cover who directed the original Star Wars, which country first hosted Earth Day, and when ESPN launched. Four options per question, answer sheet included. Straightforward to run as a pub quiz round or as part of a longer 70s-themed event where you want some general knowledge alongside the music and TV rounds.
View on Etsy1980s picture quizzes
Our 1980s picture quizzes follow the same format as the 1960s picture quizzes above — twelve questions, answer sheet included, clues version available for most. Where the title includes "Mystery" or "Close-up", the photos are cropped or close-up shots that add difficulty.
1980s Bands
Twelve iconic 1980s bands to identify from band photos. The Police, U2, and The Cure are all in there. But the quiz also covers acts that people know well by sound but less immediately by appearance — Run DMC and Talking Heads both feature, and identifying either from a single group shot takes a little more confidence. Bon Jovi and Metallica are also included, which should help balance things out. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. A strong music round for any 80s-themed quiz night.

1980s British Adverts
Twelve classic 1980s British TV adverts to identify from a still image. Fairy Liquid, Crunchie, and Smiths Crisps are all in there — and for anyone who grew up watching UK telly in the 80s, this triggers some very specific memories. The more obscure entries like Cafe Hag and TCP are where things get genuinely tricky, even for people who saw these adverts regularly at the time. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. Best suited to a UK audience, and particularly good for groups with older participants.
View on Etsy
1980s Famous Mystery Faces
Twelve of the biggest names of the 1980s in mystery close-up format. Madonna and Arnold Schwarzenegger are both in there and most people will recognise those immediately. But the quiz also includes Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev — and identifying a world leader from a single cropped still is harder than you might expect when you're used to seeing them in a specific context. Whitney Houston and Oprah Winfrey are also included. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. Works well as part of a broader 80s quiz night.
View on Etsy
1980s UK Sitcoms
Twelve classic 1980s British sitcoms to identify from a still. Blackadder and Red Dwarf are both in there, and anyone who watched BBC comedy in that decade will get those quickly. The quiz also covers shows that people tend to half-remember — Hot Metal, A Fine Romance, and Desmond's are all included, and those are the questions where the room tends to go quiet. Yes Minister and The Young Ones are also in there. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. A good round for pub quiz nights with a mix of ages.

1980s Video Game Characters
Twelve 1980s video game characters to identify from their in-game appearance. Pac-Man, Super Mario, and Donkey Kong are all in there and will give most people an immediate start. But the quiz also includes Miner Willy and Monty Mole — fixtures of 80s home computing that dedicated gaming enthusiasts will know well and many others won't. Ryu from Street Fighter is also included, which should split the room. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. One of the more niche quizzes on this page, and all the better for it.

Close-up 1980s UK Logos
Twelve classic 1980s UK brand logos shown as close-up crops, so you're working from a fragment of the original rather than the full logo. Woolworths and Wimpy are both in there — and if you remember either on the high street, that dates you somewhat. Amstrad, Ceefax, C&A, and Rumbelows are also included — brands that either no longer exist or have completely changed. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy. People often think they'll get all twelve and then find it harder than expected, which makes it a particularly satisfying competitive round.

Mystery 80s Corrie Characters
Twelve Coronation Street characters from the 1980s in mystery close-up format. Jack and Vera Duckworth are both in there and should be manageable for any regular Corrie viewer.

Mystery 1980s UK Kids TV Shows
Twelve 1980s British children's TV shows in mystery close-up format. Danger Mouse and He-Man are both in there and should be recognisable.

Twelve 1980s UK newsreaders and weather presenters in mystery close-up format. Michael Fish and Moira Stuart are both in there, and most people of a certain age will get those.

This one features 12 classic 1980s British sitcoms, and your job is to identify each show from a single close-up still.

A fill-in-the-blanks quiz where each question gives you an 1980s album title with one word removed. Brothers in Arms, The Joshua Tree, and Appetite for Destruction are all in there — though without the key word, you're working from the surrounding text rather than the complete title you recognise.

1980s Pop Lyrics
A quiz where each question gives you an opening lyric from a 1980s pop song and asks you to name the track. "Tommy used to work on the docks" and "She took the midnight train going anywhere" are both in there, alongside twenty other opening lines. The artist's name is withheld, so you're working from words alone — which is harder than it sounds for songs you know primarily by melody. Billie Jean, Sweet Child O' Mine, and Total Eclipse of the Heart are all included. Answer sheet provided. Good for music fans who know their 80s pop.

"Men Behaving Badly" is represented by men, a beehive, and something that sounds like "badly", which requires a moment of phonetic thinking. Clues version included. Full preview on Etsy.
