Q. What will the Quiz Master have to do?
A. Quiz Masters will be responsible for coordinating their organisation’s quiz. This will include finding a venue (it could be held in your local or favourite pub or even your house or the office after hours with permission!) and organising the fundraising. If you have a lot of people wanting to participate you may also need to divide people into smaller teams.
Owing to Covid-19, we are encouraging quizzes to take place both online and/ or person. You can do this by connecting your quiz competitors online through Zoom, Skype or other video conferencing software. Each participant can play individually, or if you have a lot of people wanting to participate you may also wish to divide people into smaller teams of up to 6 who could discuss their answers (away from the video call via their own WhatsApp group chat if virtual). The choice is yours!
After the event we will be asking our Quiz Masters to send us the money raised by the event and the scores from their quiz.
Q. How much does it cost to take part in the quiz?
A. It is free to register however we ask that each participant pledges to raise as much money as they can at their quiz.

Quiz Masters will receive the standardised questions, used by all registered quiz teams across the country, on the day of the event to ensure it is as fair as possible!
