Review Of The Year 2008 Quiz

The first of two complete pub quiz packs looking back at the year 2008, this should prove especially popular if used in a quiz at the end of 2008 or the start of 2009. All of the questions are be related to the year gone by and are split into 7 entertaining rounds as follows...

Round 1: Handout Round - Quotes Of 2008
This handout round features 15 quotes from 2008 with the aim being to identify the 15 people who said them.

Round 2: In The News
10 questions on news stories from 2008.

Round 3: Entertainment
10 questions on music, TV and movies from 2008.

Round 4: Connections
7 general questions with a 2008 theme followed by a final question worth 3 points asking for a connection related to the year 2008 between the previous 7 answers.

Round 5: Sport
10 questions on sporting events from 2008.

Round 6: Initial Letter Link
10 general questions on the year 2008 where the initial letter of the first 9 answers can be used to spell out the answer to the 10th question.

Round 7: Stick Or Twist
The final round, in which teams are faced with an option to gamble or play safe. This features 5 questions on the theme of the year 2008 where question 1 is worth 1 point, question 2 is worth 2 points and so on, and where teams can choose to "stick" and stop answering questions in this round at any point. The reason they may want to do this is because if they put down a wrong answer then they automatically score 0 for this round!

The quiz is made up of 4 separate files as follows...

First of all there is a high quality 2 page answer sheet, which is to be printed out and distributed to each team at the start of the quiz for them to write their answers on as you read out questions. This also features a round by round scoresheet to make it easy to see how each team has performed after all the answers have been marked at the end of the quiz.

Secondly, there is the Quotes Of 2008 handout round, which again is to be printed out and distributed to each team at the start of the quiz for them to work on straight away, and carry on working on throughout the quiz and during any breaks you have.

Next there is a 4 page sheet featuring all the questions in rounds 2 to 7 for you to read out during the quiz, along with all the answers to these plus the answers to the handout round to be used at the end of the quiz to mark everyone's answers. This also features 2 tie-break questions to be used at the end of your quiz if two or more teams end up with the same score.
