Our quiz is a collective effort of dozens of quizmasters\, writers\, fact-check ers\, graphic designers and artists.\nWhat&rsquo\;s a pub quiz?\nSimply \, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition\, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition\, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!\nIsn't that just &ldquo\;trivia night&rdquo\;?\ nNo\, and no. Most so-called &ldquo\;trivia nights&rdquo\; consist of ei ther an MP3J reading Trivial Pursuit cards in between bad music\, or a bunch of people staring at TVs with buzzers in hand. Our quiz burns thr ough nearly 70 multimedia questions in two exciting hours. The quizmast er gets to know the players\, and smack talk flying around in all direc tions is pretty much par for the course.\nDoes it cost anything?\nWith rare exceptions\, no. You should buy food and drinks though. Our busine ss model is no big secret: We drive business to our host venues or we g et fired. So just ordering water is NOT cool. Plus\, fish have sex in t hat stuff. \;\nDo I need to sign up beforehand or can I just show up and play?\nJust show up. Team size is limited to six. Play solo if you' d like\, but don't blame us if you're lonely.\nAll right\, so what&rsquo \;s in it for me?\nBesides a couple hours of free entertainment\, the to p \; teams get bar gift certificates. Plus there are chances to win free pints (or gift-certificate equivalents) for answering five bonus questions throughout the evening. We also have bizarre prizes courtesy of our weekly Bonus Email Question. Finally\, your team can revel in th e eternal glory of having your photo posted on this here website.\nIs t he quiz hard?\nIn general\, the quiz starts off easy and progresses in d ifficulty as the night goes on. Also\, the quiz is set up to reward the most versatile teams. Most folks over 35 will be stumped on questions about the Xbox 360\, while most folks under 35 know little about the Re agan years. And just about everyone is stumped when we throw in a round on country music.\nTo get a feel for our questions check out a sample round here.\nWhat's the quiz format like?\nThe quiz consists of eight ro unds of eight questions each\, played by teams of up to six people. Que stions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answer s\, turning them in at the end of each round.\nRounds 1\, \; 4 and 6 are themed rounds &ndash\; anything from &ldquo\;Eight Questions Abou t Sex That Won&rsquo\;t Make You Too Uncomfortable&rdquo\; to &ldquo\;TV Shows Your Parents Watch.&rdquo\; Round 2 is a music round worth doubl e points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a mu ltiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based o n a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows\, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally\, Round 8 is al ways 16 points on Random Knowledge.\nOne round can be jokered\, doublin g your points for that round only (yes\, the 16-point rounds are fair g ame). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.
