New ideas for zoom based quizzes

[RockingMyFiftiesNot]

Like lots of people we're participating in regular quizzes via zoom with various groups of friends. Am looking for new ideas for rounds that work well via zoom. We are adults only, and preferably without needing sound as we've had mixed results with sound quality. Thanks

My daughter did a good round last week. Guess the city skyline, as a Powerpoint. Tokyo, Durham, Dubai etc. Was really good!

Does anyone play games rather than quizzes? We've got a few quizzes lined up and I'd like to try something different.

AirConsole is good for games. And they were offering free 'hero' accounts for lockdown.
Teen dc particularly like Fart Work (a drawing game) and something that's basically Cards against Humanity

Children's book classics quiz

I've done (and won) a few Kahoot quizzes, and written questions for one, based on the Dangerous Book for Boys.

Musical chairs

And the classic scratch wood scratch

A picture round we did that worked quite was a cropped part of a film poster and you had to guess the film. You can then make it as easy or as hard as you want depending on your audience. You could do something similar with album covers.

Try not to make it too fiendish or everyone gives up!

Try a scavenger hunt!

First thing to grab int he bedroom
Something round from the fridge

We’ve done guess the song from the lyric

Even obvious lyrics are difficult to guess when they’re spoken out of context or tune

I know this isn’t a quiz but Macmillan Cancer are hosting a Whodunnit which is specifically designed for lockdown (6-8 people).

We’ve done pictures of famous landmarks.
Pictures of iconic album covers.
Higher or lower with supermarket shopping items.
Who gets the closest guess to random questions.
Who’s older with celebrities.
Guess the year.
And guess the chocolate bar (picture)

Jackbox is brilliant - we love it. Murder mystery, quiplash and patently stupid are really good fun.

We did guess the baby photo (members of the group and celebs)

We hosted one recently and the favourite rounds were

Name that cheese
Sex toy or gadget
Arse or elbow

Much laughter and conversation!

Pretty much knackered my internet search history for the sex toy round

Our work one is run through Kahoot. The questions come up on the zoom screen, as.multiple choice. You choose the symbol that relates to the right answer on the Kahoot page, but it does mean you have to have two devices.

Not a quiz but we did a virtual escape room (Clue Adventures, but there are several). Was great! You can have up to 6 participants. We were a group of 6 between 3 households. It felt almost like the real thing. You all work as a team so not competitive in the same way as a quiz.

Do you have a link for the virtual escape room?

Done excellent ideas!

Popular here was name that plant/leaf

I got 10 flowers/herbs/leaves from the garden and held them up to the camera to guess.
