I am looking for an author of a question pack for the game "What? Where? When?"

Hello!

I am interested in your project. I have a good understanding of the specifics of "non-sporting" trivia games: the questions should bring pleasure from the process of solving them (a "click" at the end), rather than testing encyclopedic knowledge.

My approach to work:

Logic above all. I construct questions so that the team can arrive at the answer through discussion, even without knowing the exact fact.

Clarity. Mandatory checks for dual answers (alternative responses) and exclusions. If I ask "Name this fruit," the question will have a marker that excludes other similar fruits.
…
Freshness. I work with English-language sources and recent non-fiction books to avoid "old chestnuts" from the database.

Examples of questions (original):

Example 1 Question: In one article about interface design, it is noted that modern children perceive THIS simply as an abstract symbol for saving information, not understanding its historical prototype. Name THIS. Answer: Floppy disk. Comment: The "Save" icon in the form of a floppy disk is still used, even though no one uses floppy disks anymore.

Example 2 Question: Writer Anne Lamott compares lighthouses to preachers. She notes that lighthouses do not do THIS to save ships; they simply stand and shine. What have we replaced with the words "DO THIS"? Answer: Run around the island (run along the shore). Comment: The point is that you don't need to impose yourself; you just need to shine. The logic is based on the function of the lighthouse — it is static.

Deadlines and cost: I am ready to prepare a package of 36 questions in 5 days. The cost for the package: 200.

I would be happy to discuss the details!

Hello, Elman!

I am ready to write questions for you. I have been playing intellectual games for over 30 years. I have many years of experience writing questions for sports "What? Where? When?", quizzes, and other games, including for clients from this platform. I didn't quite understand: is your game more like the television version of "What? Where? When?" or the sports version? But I understood that you need questions that could fit into a package for a light tournament of sports "What? Where? When?" or brain ring, and without confusing formulations with substitutions and omissions.

Examples of my questions for sports "What? Where? When?": https://gotquestions.online/search?editor=1549&author=1549&solo=true&or=true&sSort=uDate. Here are examples from this database that seem to meet your requirements (or rather, would meet them if they were not in this database).

Question 1.
In a cartoon from the 70s, this character has four fingers on one hand. According to the joke, this is because he tried to scratch his back. Name this character.

… Answer: Carlson.
Comment: according to this joke, the propeller on his back deprived him of a finger. Other human characters in the cartoon have a full set.

Question 2.
In a poem from the Perestroika era, a poet from Odessa wrote that SHE is becoming bolder, but later replaced "becoming bolder" with "turning yellow." Name HER.

Answer: the press.
Comment: the press becomes bolder and turns yellow, which is often rhymed with the word Odessa.

Interested? Please ask clarifying questions.

Hello.
I understand the format of the team game "What? Where? When?" is television-based rather than sports-based. I create logical questions with mandatory cut-offs, without guessing and direct knowledge. The questions are original, not from databases and cannot be found on Google.

I am ready to prepare a package of 36 questions. For each question, there will be a question, an answer, an explanation, and a source. The difficulty is average and is based on logic.

Example of a question:
In old printing houses, this item was called "the most honest employee" because it always left a mark even when it made a mistake. Name it.
Answer: Eraser.

Elman, good afternoon.
*Very interesting task
*I am a fan of What? Where? When? with forty years of experience. I respect truly independently composed questions at the level of academician Korolev from one of the finals of the year, rather than "complete the haiku, quote..." I previously wrote questions for a corporate game. They were not saved, but I understand the principles of good questions.
*Example. Donetsk, Lyanter, Milan, Reykjavik, Sydney, Sol-Iletsk, St. Petersburg, Fastov. Which city is the odd one out?
*Example. Once on a fairy-tale New Year's night, four poets gathered at one table.
The youngest among them read the following poem:

The firecrackers amused us. There were as many of them as us - four.
Friends, after all, a load of gallery - Montov's wine has been waiting for us for a long time.
… You have not encountered a better drawing of mold on cheese in the world.
For dessert, we will have a wing in honey. May there be happiness in the coming year!

Name the poet who read these lines.

Good day!
I am interested in the format of the team game "What? Where? When?" (not a sports game). I understand the specifics of logical questions with rebuttals, without simple knowledge and without guessing.
I suggest starting with a test format — 1–2 original questions, so you can assess the logic, complexity, and compliance with the game format.
For each question, I provide:
– the wording of the question;
– the correct answer;
– a brief explanation of the logic;
– the source.
Conditions for the full package:
… – 36 questions of medium difficulty;
– without using trivia databases and open sources;
– answers cannot be directly googled;
– clear rebuttals.
Cost:
– $3 per question (negotiable depending on the volume).
– full package (36 questions): $108
Deadlines:
– test 1–2 questions: 1–2 days
– the entire package: 7–10 days after test approval
I am ready to answer additional questions and start with the test stage.
Sincerely, Yuriy

I can help. Here is an example:
1. During a modern performance called "Siberian Plague," the audience is informed about the intermission by the inscription "Intermission." One letter here has been changed. Write the word that was in the original.
2. On one silly website it is written: "Once a learned cat got distracted, being in dreams, and stretched out its legs." Write which two words, starting with the same letter, have been changed here.

Explanation: upon client's request

Experience: freelance journalist, this topic is new and interesting
I can complete it in two days, and make corrections on the third day

Good evening! I am ready to start working on this task.
(In an advertisement from the 1920s, this item was called "the only product that the buyer throws away immediately after they are completely satisfied with it." Today, we use it much less often, preferring to press buttons. What is it?)
