Detectives

This pub quiz handout round is split into 3 sections, all themed around detectives.

The first section features photos of 5 men who have all played Sherlock Holmes in film or on TV, and the aim is to name these men. The second section features 5 clues where teams have to fill in blanks with consonants to give the names of a fictional detective and unscramble phrases to give the names of the authors who created them. The final section section features 5 actors and actresses to identify, and for a further point each, teams have to name the detectives they played in TV series in given years.

It is recommended that this round is used as a handout round. You can find more information on handout rounds and our recommended use for them in quizzes on our handout rounds page.
