Make new Friends But Keep The Old :One Is Like Silver The Other Like Gold

The Quiz

The quiz consists of two rounds of twenty questions each, subjects include , general knowledge, history, geography, sports, TV, movies and music. In each round of twenty there are sound clues.... Who had the hit? , Name that tune, Which movie? Classical composer and Pick the year triple play. In each round of twenty there are three 'Spot' questions...Oy!! questions, patrons put up their hand and shout 'Oy', if they think they know the answer. If I pick them and their answer is right they receive a drink voucher for use at the bar. These vouchers are normally keenly sought after.

Round one, twenty questions plus sound clues and spots.

After round one all answer sheets are collected , marked and returned, I read out the answers and team scores for the round.

Round two, twenty questions plus sound clues and spots.

After round two all answer sheets are collected, marked and returned, I read out the answers and the final team scores for the quiz.

Jackpot Round.....open to all quiz players. Three questions.  The jackpot is normally worth anything up to $500.00  cash.

So with three team prizes, spot prizes and Jackpot, it makes for a great night out.
