Would people be up for a weekly “pub” quiz?

[LaLaLand]

So hear me out, I have this idea...

I love a good pop/pub-style quiz and it’s something I’m missing whilst we’re all in lockdown.

Was thinking what if I were to hold one say once a week here, say 40/50 questions a time covering almost everything - Pop culture, music, movies, tv, geography, history etc.

Obviously you’d have to PROMISE to not Google anything which is the tricky bit, no cheating allowed! Make it fair for everyone.

Could it work? :shrug:

(If there’s one already run here I do apologise but I’ve clearly missed it! :skull: )

[Kazanne]

I love this idea, but not sure people would keep that promise LaLa

[Kate!]

I would take part. Xx

[LaLaLand]

I love this idea, but not sure people would keep that promise LaLa

I know this is the thing. Hmmm...

[Jessica.]

I love this idea, I would participate! I think we'd be able to tell who is googling things.

[Kate!]

I wouldn't google. I would do it for the fun of it.

Jess wouldn't google. Thats two of us. :hugesmile:

[Smithy]

Did you ever see the pub quiz that used to be held on here Lala? The host would use pictures of places (for geography for example) that can’t be googled/reverse searched

Just an idea If you wanted to cut down on the cheating

Ah no I haven’t I’ll have a look! Glad there’s a few interested but I wouldn’t want to step on anybody’s toes if there was already one already you know? :hehe:

[Calderyon]

Probably won't work if this rule is present.

People would probably google anyways, whether one says they won't.

[Kazanne]

I know this is the thing. Hmmm...

Just go for it Lala I love quizzes ,:wavey:

[Strictly Jake]

Im up for it

[AnnieK]

Sounds great...

[hijaxers]

Just go for it Lala I love quizzes ,:wavey:

Yeah me too i'll be honest :hee:

[user104658]

I'd do it and win cos I know more or less everything BUT I just dunno if I trust y'all.

[James]

Yeah, I like quizzes.

I was watching one on a Youtube live stream, and the way they did it was the first person to answer the question right in the chat got won a point

That stops people Googling.

[Kate!]

Yeah, I like quizzes.

That is a great way to do it.

Go for it LalaLand.

[Calderyon]

I think you have 8 participants now, Triple L.

9 if Smithy's involved.

[Calderyon]

If the team based Pub Quiz ever returns, I will sign up.

[Matthew.]

I would take part

[Calderyon]

That's 10 already.

[Kate!]

Yes double figures. I think if you take James' suggestion you will have a success on your hands with this LaLa. Xx

[Calderyon]

My human self cannot do speed type competitions. So I have to bow out.

[Livia]

I'd join in.

Maybe have a time limit on the quiz, so people don't have time to Google every question. Also, previously people posted pictured that they'd frigged with (excuse the technical terminology) to stop people searching the pic.

Anyhoo… I love a quiz me, count me in.

[Livia]

If the team based Pub Quiz ever returns, I will sign up.

They were great, weren't they, Cald? Really good fun.

[Kate!]

They were great, weren't they, Cald? Really good fun.

Loved them. :lovedup:

[Calderyon]

They were great, weren't they, Cald? Really good fun.

They were. But incredibly hard to do, I'd imagine.

[Shaun]

I'd enjoy it.

I know some might google but if they want to fool everyone into thinking they are geniuses then power to them :love: there's only a whole post history on here to prove the contrary

[Calderyon]

12 now.

[Kate!]

Mite make a list for Lalaland of those interested if SuperCaldbot doesn't beat me to it :love:

You could use myquiz.org and get everybody to join in at the same time

There’s a timer for each question and a running leaderboard throughout

I think that could be super fun

You can also pause the quiz so people can come back to tibb to laugh/moan/congratulate between each round.
