Quizzes

[JenTree3000]

This goes alongside my posts on how to improve wellbeing/ Dry January
I have realised that I often reach for a glass of wine when I am bored and have a plan for “ big” activities such as a long walk/ facial etc but I am looking for something quick to keep me occupied and interested.
I used to love doing quizzes- all types including picture/ music/ and really enjoyed the zoom ones I took part in last year. Does anyone have any links to tried and tested sites/ recommendations for books etc?
Thanks in advance

Sporcle has loads of different types of quizzes on almost every subject you can think of.

Thanks I will look there

I like to use Jetpunk for quiz quizzes online. I also have the sudoku app on my phone. You can play daily challenges and win medals so it keeps me interested. Used to play Mahjong on my phone quite a lot too.

I’m looking to buy the Only Connect quiz book (only became aware of it recently and love the tv show with Victoria Coren-Mitchell). Quite enjoyed a book called Journal 29. This was advertised as an ‘escape room’ style book where you have to complete a puzzle before moving on to the next one. There was another similar book from the same author but don’t recall the name.

Also tried the GCHQ puzzle book but that was a bit more difficult at times!

I play online Scrabble.

I play against opponents that are suggested none of whom I know and there are also Scrabble based challenges if you don't want to actually play games (or play alongside games).

There is always a game or a challenge to distract me from alcohol. (Except I decided a couple of hours ago that Dry January starts tomorrow🤔 )

Another vote for Sporcle.

Thanks for Sporcle recommendation- have completely been absorbed in trying different quizzes
Will look at other suggestions too
