Quiz!
Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2008 2:04 am
No, I'm not taking over from Jason, I'm actually looking for some assistance in creating one.
I kinda volunteered to devise something with moderate difficulty (i.e. not Eggheads, but not Junior Trivial Pursuit either) for probably 30 or so people in teams on Saturday. I blatantly don't have time to create all this myself in the next 2 evenings, so if anyone is interested, I'd like some 'gameshow themes' and questions (5 rounds of 10 q) to use.
To make it a bit interesting (arguably), I'm looking for 5 distinct round styles. Rather than different subjects, I'd like different gameshows. So far I have:
WWTBAM - I'll read out a question, each team can submit an answer for 2 points, or wait for me to read out 4 options for 1 point
Blockbusters - Just 10 questions with the initial letter given for 2 points
Celebrity Squares - They have that list bit for the contestant to win a car at the end i.e. name 9 different types of cheese, or 9 of the last 15 world snooker champions. Only to save it being stupid I'm thinking 'name the 7 deadly sins, 2pt for all 7, 1pt for 5 or 6', 6 wives of Henry VIII - that kinda thing.
I might've had something else in mind, but it's 3am and I need sleep. So, if you can think of a 'theme' to complement those, and some questions for them, then get posting. Hopefully I'll have enough to form a quiz by 8pm Fri, if not then everyone can get drunk/play poker instead.
Cheers!
