Review Of The Year 2023 Quiz 2

The second of two complete pub quiz packs looking back at events from the year 2023, this quiz is particularly suitable for New Year's Eve parties and for quizzes run towards the end of 2023 or in early 2024. 

The quiz is made up of 13 rounds, the first of which is a handout round split into four sections. The first section of this features five quotes from the year and the aim for teams is to name the famous people responsible for them. The second section features five phrases for teams to try to unscramble and come up with the names of acts who had number one hit singles in 2023. In the third section, the aim is to name five famous people who died in 2023 from sets of categories they are listed under on Wikipedia. In the final section, the aim is to name five films released in 2023 from "say what you see" picture clues.

The rest of the quiz is made up of rounds based on events that took place in the 12 months of 2023. So the next round is on events from January with an example question being "What is the title of the book that, in January 2023, set a Guinness World Record for the fastest selling non-fiction book of all time?"

The next round features five questions on events from February 2023, and so on.

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

First of all, there is two-page 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. 

Secondly, there is the handout round, which 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 six-page document with all of the questions in the other rounds for you to read out, along with all the answers to these and the answers to the handout round. This also features two 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 six-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 four-page sheet with instructions and advice on how to run a great quiz.

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