Virtual Pub Quiz Pack 1

This pub quiz pack has been compiled for use in virtual pub quiz that you can run on a video conferencing service such as Zoom, or even just on email or a messaging service such as WhatsApp.

The rounds are as follows......

Round 1: Rock and Pop Groups
This handout round is split into four sections, each asking teams to name five rock or pop groups. The first section features five Dingbats clues that are cryptically describing the names of groups and the aim for teams is to give these names. In the second section the aim is to name five groups from the definitions of their one-word names. The third section features five anagrams for teams to unscramble and come up with the names of five more groups. Finally, the fourth section features five phrases that can be reworded to give new phrases that sound like the names of groups, and the aim is to give these names.

Round 2: General Subject
Ten questions on Art and Literature.

Round 3: Connections
Eight questions on General Knowledge, plus a final question worth two points that asks for a connection between the first eight answers.

Round 4: Disney Animals
A quickfire round featuring ten Disney characters and the films they appear in, with the aim being say what type of animal each one is.

Round 5: General Subject
Ten questions on Geography.

Round 6: General Knowledge
Ten questions on General Knowledge.

The pub quiz pack is made up of four separate files as follows...

First of all there is the handout round. We recommend sending this to participants in advance of the quiz for them to work on in the build-up to the main quiz.

Next there is a four-page document with the answers to the handout round and all of the questions and answers to the other rounds. This also features two tie-break questions that you can use in the event of a tie. There is also another version of this document, but where all of the answers have been removed. This may not be needed, but is included in case the quiz-master would like to take part in the quiz too, or if you are planning to send the questions to participants (e.g. via email or WhatsApp) rather than read them out in a video-conferencing app.

Finally, there is a two-page document with advice on how to run a virtual pub quiz.

As well as being a bit shorter (and cheaper), the main difference between our virtual pub quiz packs and our standard ones is that the difficulty level has been lowered slightly to take into account the fact that people are likely to be taking part on their own or in smaller groups than they would do if they were part of a pub quiz team with a wider span of knowledge. If the difficulty level is too low, or the quiz pack is not suitable in any other way, please let us know and we will provide a refund.
