Review Of The Year 2016 Quiz 2

The second of two complete pub quiz packs looking back on events from the year 2016, this quiz is particularly suitable for New Year's Eve parties and for quizzes run towards the end of 2016 or early in 2017. 

The quiz is made of 13 rounds, the first of which is a handout round. This is split into 3 sections, with the first section having photos of 5 acts who had UK number one hit singles in 2016, with the aim for teams being to name these acts. The second section features 5 quotes from 2016 and the aim is to name the famous people responsible for them. The final section features photos of 5 gold medal winners from the 2016 Summer Olympics and the aim is to name them.

The rest of the quiz is made up of rounds based on events that took place in the 12 months of 2016. So round 2 is on events from January with an example question being "In the week following the death of David Bowie, which of his hit singles re-entered the UK singles chart in the highest position?"

Round 3 features 5 questions on events from February 2016, and so on.

The pub quiz quiz pack is made up of 6 separate files as follows...

First of all there is a professionally designed 2 page answer sheet, that you can print out and hand out to each team at the start of the quiz for them to write their answers on as you read out questions. This also features a round by round scoresheet to make it easy to see how each team has performed after all the answers have been marked at the end of the quiz.

Secondly, there is the handout round, which again is to be printed out and handed out to teams at the start of the quiz for them to work on straight away, and carry on working on throughout the quiz and during any breaks you have.

Next there is a 6 page document with all of the questions in rounds 2 to 13 for you to read out, along with all the answers to these and the answers to the handout round. This also features 2 tie-break questions to be used at the end of your quiz if two or more teams end up with the same score, along with a set of substitute questions to help you tailor the difficulty level of your quiz.

There is also another version of this 6 page 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.

Next, there is a 4 page sheet with instructions and advice on how to run a great quiz.

Finally, there is a quizmaster's scoresheet to help keep track of teams' scores.
