Virtual Pub Quiz Pack 5

This pub quiz pack has been compiled for use in virtual pub quiz that you can run on a video conferencing service such as Zoom, or even just on email or a messaging service such as WhatsApp.

The rounds are as follows......

Round 1: Number Ones
This handout round is split into four sections. The first features five Dingbats clues for participants to decipher and come up with the titles of five number one hit singles. The second section features five anagrams for participants to unscramble and come up with the names of five people who have had number one singles both as a solo artist and as part of a group. The third section lists five number one hit singles and the aim is to say which UK Prime Ministers first became Prime Minister when these songs were at number one. Finally, the fourth section features extracts of lyrics from five number one hit singles that have "one" in their titles, and the aim is to name these songs.

Round 2: General Subject
Ten questions on Geography.

Round 3: Connections
Eight questions on General Knowledge, plus a final question worth two points that asks for a connection between the first eight answers.

Round 4: First Lines
A quickfire round listing the first lines of famous books, with the aim being to name these books.

Round 5: General Subject
Ten questions on TV and Films.

Round 6: General Knowledge
Ten questions on General Knowledge.

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

First of all there is the handout round. We recommend sending this to participants in advance of the quiz for them to work on in the build-up to the main quiz.

Next there is a four-page document with the answers to the handout round and all of the questions and answers to the other rounds. This also features two tie-break questions that you can use in the event of a tie. There is also another version of this 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, or if you are planning to send the questions to participants (e.g. via email or WhatsApp) rather than read them out in a video-conferencing app.

Finally, there is a two-page document with advice on how to run a virtual pub quiz.

As well as being a bit shorter (and cheaper), the main difference between our virtual pub quiz packs and our standard ones is that the difficulty level has been lowered slightly to take into account the fact that people are likely to be taking part on their own or in smaller groups than they would do if they were part of a pub quiz team with a wider span of knowledge. If the difficulty level is too low, or the quiz pack is not suitable in any other way, please let us know and we will provide a refund.
