Phobias

This handout round features 15 phobias (acrophobia, glossophobia, etc.) along with a mixed up list of the 15 things that these phobias are the fear of. The aim for teams in your quiz is to match these up correctly.

A few of these phobias are fairly well known and should ensure most teams get off to a quick start, plus it may be possible to work out some by looking at the first part of the phobia. There are also some, however, which are likely to take a fair bit of puzzling over, so some deduction and some guess work may be needed to complete the round.

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 as it is likely to keep people occupied and entertained for a reasonable length of time.
