You might be organising a social event for many different reasons: a night out for the office, a different way to engage with clients, a product launch with important guests, entertainment at a conference, a Christmas party, or a charity fundraiser. Whatever the occasion, I can devise and present an entertaining quiz for you, providing the answer and score sheets. The quiz will be tailored to suit your requirements and guests, but above all, the quiz will be entertaining and fun.

Everyone likes to be right but not everyone can be a winner, so the mix of easy and challenging questions is carefully balanced. My quizzes do not follow the format of a standard pub-type quiz with rounds based on a single topic, which can quickly lose the interest of guests who have little or no knowledge of those topics. Instead, each round consists of up to ten questions on a variety of themes, or a round may have just four questions with ten answers. Some questions may be trickier than others and some questions may be a bit quirky, so patience and lateral thinking are as important as general knowledge.

Try the following four questions with ten answers, then scroll down for the answers:
1. Zero degrees, Michelle (5 letters)
2. Henrietta Maria of France was the mother of which two Stuart kings of England?
3. What are the three colours of the national flag of Italy?
4. The UK has come first in the Eurovision song contest on five occasions; name four of the winning acts.

Mosaic Cultural Hub

Jane (Events Organiser) writes: “John has been running a highly successful and enjoyable series of on-line quizzes for our Mosaic community over this very difficult Covid-19 period. Since April 2020, a keen group of Quizzers (and the number is growing monthly) has joined John once a month to be challenged and entertained for an hour via Zoom. John’s questions are varied, and he covers a wide range of subjects plus a bonus picture round on his website. John’s personality and sense of humour add to the over-all atmosphere, and the community is grateful that he is compiling these excellent quizzes.”

Answers to Quiz:
1. Obama
2. Charles II and James II
