Quarantine Quiz 1

Quarantine Quiz 1

Today I thought I might as well start posting the quizzes I intended to post to this blog when I restarted everything. So today here is the first of my Quarantine Quizzes. Me and my pub quiz team were all in the pub at a quiz when lockdown was first announced in 2020, we decided…

UK Snowball

UK Snowball

This is the second snowball round I wrote, this time with a theme of the United Kingdom. The quiz consists of 6 questions which get progressively harder as we go along. As soon as you get an answer wrong, you’re out. Nobody made it to the end of this snowball round, so the pot rolled…

Tie Breakers

Tie Breakers

An often overlooked set of questions for quizzes are the tie breaker questions, it has been known for teams to end up tied winners and, even rarer, for people to tie at the end of the Snowball Rounds. So it is essential to have a few tie breaker questions up your sleeve ready for the…

Quick Quiz Round 3

Quick Quiz Round 3

This is the longest round in the quick quiz I put together, and perhaps it shouldn’t have gone into a quick quiz as it caused a lot of discussions in the teams and overall it took the same time as a couple of rounds. I called it a Points Builder round, as every question has…

Quick Quiz Round 2

Quick Quiz Round 2

This is the second round of my quick quiz. I was stuck for ideas so I just went for a General Knowledge round, that’s just a quizmaster way of saying “I didn’t know what to do, so I just threw together a bunch of random questions”. Which incidently is how this round materialised. This should…

Quick Quiz Round 1

Quick Quiz Round 1

This is the first round I wrote for a quick quiz a little while ago, this round is a connection round which are always good fun. This one was a little bit tougher on my audience than I anticipated and only 2 of the 5 teams got the connection, see how you fair on this…

Snowball Round 2

Snowball Round 2

This is the second Snowball Round I wrote for a quiz, this time I decided not to have a theme for the quiz and just went for a bunch of random questions. As it happens, this Snowball Round was actually won by someone who had visited Hawaii and knew the last question, so see how…

Backup Quiz Round 4

Backup Quiz Round 4

Quite honestly, this is not the best round I ever wrote, I had an idea to take my Prince Philip fill in the blanks questions and modify it for politicians. On a side note, politics really should be kept away from pub quizzes in general, its fine to ask who was prime minister on a…

January Blues

January Blues

This is a photo I took last year in Brighton while I had time to kill in the morning before an appointment. I had a wander around the town and especially The Laines before ending up on the pier. I think it was the first time I had been on Brighton Pier when it was…

Backup Quiz Round 3

Backup Quiz Round 3

This is the third round for the backup quiz I wrote for a friend. This round was a little unusual in that I had an idea for a round but couldn’t get it to fall together in a way I liked, so instead I wrote a quick last minute round which just went along the…
