Weekly Quiz 527 - October 2nd 2016

This complete pub quiz pack is made up of 8 high quality rounds as follows...

Round 1: Poker Hand Nicknames
This handout round features 15 pairs of cards along with, in a mixed order, nicknames given to them in a game of Texas hold'em poker. The aim is to match up the correct nicknames to the correct pairs of cards. Please note that this round is mainly a test of team's lateral thinking, rather than their knowledge of poker. For example, the nickname "Desmond" is given to a pair of twos, referring to Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Round 2: General Subject 
10 questions on Geography.

Round 3: Connections
2 sets of 4 questions on General Knowledge, with questions 5 and 10 asking for a connection between the previous 4 answers.

Round 4: Specialist Subject
10 questions on Nursery Rhymes.

Round 5: Initial Letter Link
10 questions on General Knowledge where the answer to the final question can be spelt out by rearranging the first letters of the first 9 answers.

Round 6: General Subject
10 questions on TV and Films.

Round 7: Mystery Year
2 sets of 4 questions on events from a particular year, with question 5 and 10 asking teams to name these years.

Round 8: Double or Quits
10 General Knowledge questions where 2 points are available for each correct answer, but where teams can leave answers blank as any wrong answers mean a score of zero for the round.

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

First of all there is a 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. Again you can can print this out and hand it out to teams at the start of your 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 8 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 quizmaster would like to take part in the quiz too.

Next there is a 4 page document 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.

Please note that if you run a regular quiz and would prefer an adapted version of our weekly quizzes (e.g. custom text or logo on answer sheets, easier or more difficult questions, etc.) then we should be able to supply you with your own custom version of our weekly quizzes. If you e-mail sales@bubbletreequizzes.com with details of how you like the quiz adapted, then someone will get back to you to discuss this.
