Another set of 5 entertaining puz quiz connections rounds, each of which feature 7 high quality general knowledge questions and a final question asking what the connection is between the previous 7 answers. For example...

8. For 3 points, what is the connection between the previous 7 answers?

These rounds always prove challenging and entertaining as, along with trying to answer each question individually, the teams in your quiz will also be trying to find a connection along the way. They also have the added feature that once teams guess the connection, then they might go back over previous questions where they might be able to have a better guess at an answer, or even change an answer which doesn't fit in with the connection.

Note that we recommend that the final question in these rounds is worth 3 points because of the extra thought and effort that might be needed to arrive at the answer. This means that overall, there will be 10 points at stake for each round. We also recommend that you only use 1 or 2 of these rounds in each quiz you do, and that the rest of your quiz is made up of handout rounds, plus other types of question and answer rounds..



Note that these rounds already appear in Weekly Quizzes 111 to 115. If you would prefer to purchase full pub quiz packs complete with a handout round, a variety of other question and answer rounds, plus specially designed answer sheets for teams to write their answers on, then please visit our Complete Quizzes section. If, however, you prefer to compile your own format of quiz, but are looking for connections rounds to use in this, then the pack on this page will hopefully be of use to you.
