The way we do quiz night is everyone does a round each. I just found out I'm doing the same round as someone else (geography). Do you have any ideas for a new round??

I have a sci fi round ready to go if you want it. Although I have been told it is too hard! I am a geek though so its hard to judge!

I made an Answer Smash round ( format from Richard Osmans house of games) . Went down very well

Ooooh like this thread! Our weekly family quiz has got a bit intellectual and needs a bit of a shake up. I like the idea of legs or hot dogs & song lyrics Grin

We did the less classy "boobs or bums" round.

PyongyangKipperbang · 05/06/2020 23:08

Depends on your family but I have a friend who did a "labour face or porn face" picture round for her friends hen night (bride was pg!). It was surprisingly difficult!

Pyongyang I hate quiz rounds which are this sort of general knowledge. Either you know it or you don't. Nothing to figure out. I guess I am not a serious quiz buff!

alittlerespectgoesalongway · 05/06/2020 23:51

That was about sci fi round btw. Porn face or labour face much more my sort of thing

MNQuizzyRascal · 06/06/2020 00:37

Check out two of the rounds I did tonight. Filthy minds general knowledge and badly drawn album covers, drawn by me.

I'll take that, its a "its only easy when you know the answer" sort of round!

Phobias? What is x a phobia of? /What is the name for a fear of x?

Harry Potter spells? What does x enchantment do? What is the spell for x? (You could give multiple choice options)

TroysMammy · 06/06/2020 08:32

Maybe a bit morbid but we once played "What year did famous person/celebrity die?" It's quite surprising how time has flown. It wasn't a quiz just family sitting down Christmas evening mentioning a famous person and googling.

SabrinaThwaite · 06/06/2020 08:47

We have a quiz where a round is called something like ‘Victoria & Albert’ or ‘Vic & Bob’ where either the question or the answer contains one of the names in the title.

autumnboys · 06/06/2020 08:51

If you all live near one another, a round of questions on your local area.

Yugi · 06/06/2020 09:20

Where was it set? I used a mixture of TV, films and books
One letter answers.

When we do a family quiz, we have to send the quiz to everyone afterwards so they can do it again with friends etc :D

A round on Covid 19 restrictions in different countries?
