Weekly Quiz 971 - April 4th 2025

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

Round 1: Handout Round - Spoonerisms
This round features 15 clues, each looking for two two-word phrases, where switching the initial sounds in the two words of the first phrase gives the second phrase. For example, the correct answer to "Drummer often referred to as the fifth Beatle / Repeatedly hit annoying thing" is "Pete Best / beat pest".

Round 2: General Subject - TV and Films
Ten questions on TV and Films.

Round 3: Connections
Nine questions on General Knowledge, plus a final question asking for a connection between the previous nine answers.

Round 4: Specialist Subject - Horse Racing
Ten questions on horse racing.

Round 5: Initial Letter Link
Ten questions on General Knowledge, where the answer to the final question can be spelled out by rearranging the first letters of the first nine answers.

Round 6: General Subject - Geography
Ten questions on Geography.

Round 7: Quickfire Round - April Fools
Ten summaries of news stories from 2025, where, in each case, the aim is to say whether it was a genuine story or an April Fool's joke.

Round 8: Themed Round - Bananas
Ten General Knowledge questions themed around the word "bananas". 

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

First of all, there is a two-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 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 six-page document with all of the questions in rounds two to eight 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 some 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 quizmaster would like to take part in the quiz too.

Next, there is a four-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.
