Virtual Pub Quiz Pack - Review Of The Year 2020

Themed around events from the year 2020, 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: Celebrities Wearing Face Masks
This picture round features photos of 15 famous people who have been photographed wearing face masks. The aim is to identify them.

Round 2: Entertainment
Ten questions on TV, films and music from 2020, such as "Before it was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak, who was due to play the `legends slot` at the 2020 Glastonbury Festival?"

Round 3: Initial Letter Link
Nine questions on events from 2020, where the answer to the final question is worth two points and is an anagram of the first letters from the first eight answers.

Round 4: Sport
Ten questions on sport in 2020, such as "On June 1st, the BBC reported that what had become the first sport to return after restrictions were eased in England, with 4,465 competitors setting off from Kettering?"

Round 5: Quotes of 2020
Ten quotes and tweets from 2020, such as "I only had two conditions... I wanted to dance with another woman, and I wasn’t going to wear a dress", with the aim being to name the famous people responsible for them.

Round 6: 2020 Mix
Ten questions on 2020, such as "Once described by comedian Bill Bailey as `the laminated book of dreams` what was printed for the final time in 2020, 48 years after its launch?"

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

First of all there is the picture 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), our virtual pub quiz packs have a difficultly level that has been set slightly lower than with our standard quizzes. This is 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.
