Dickens Characters Wipeout

Dickens Characters Wipeout

This is a simple, but entertaining pub quiz handout round and features the names of 20 literary characters such as Uriah Heep, Arthur Slugworth and Helga Hufflepuff. Of these 20 characters, 10 feature in novels by Charles Dickens, and the aim for teams in your quiz is identify these 10 by crossing out the names of the characters who feature in novels by other authors. The names have been chosen so that they all sound as though they could be from Dickens novels, and a lot of the names should sound familiar to teams, even though they may struggle to place them in a particular novel.

While the information in this round could be used to make up standard question and answer rounds (where the quiz-master asks questions aloud and the teams write the answers on blank answer sheets) it is recommended that this is used in a quiz as a handout round.

If you buy this handout round, we will give you access to pdf files you can download. Two of these will be for the main handout sheet - one as illustrated above, and one in a more plain format. The third sheet will contain the answers. You probably already have everything you need to access and use these rounds in your quiz, but you might want to check our requirements page to make sure.
