To not want to do the bloody quiz

[TrialOfStyle]

Weekly work quiz - admittedly they can be a break but ugh, so fed up of them now.

It’s my turn this week and it just feels like bloody unpaid work having to put something together. Where can I find a quick, already put together one I can rip off?

Anyone else stuck in this eternal zoom ‘fun’ hell?

We’re stuck in a weekly friend zoom quiz and it’s horrific
Every Friday- goes on for around 4 hours. I wish I was exaggerating! DH and I check out early because sod that!
Just to help though- one of our friends had a multiple choice section and a true or false section which were straightforward and fun!

Perhaps we could start a thread where people post good questions? I made the mistake of writing one on Christmas Day once and now the rest of my family have decided it should be a yearly tradition so I’m on the lookout for questions

You could use the whiteboard and do Pictionary instead, breaks it up from having to dream up questions - no prep required! There’s an online random Pictionary generator too.

Once a week though, that’s grim m

Plenty of quizzes online to steal! Just find some.
We have a different format where each person has to bring questions. We don’t do them weekly though

Shall I send you one that we did in the first lockdown?

Have a scavenger round - a mug containing something beginning with M, something you haven't used since before March, something triangular, a spoonful of sugar, the last book you read...

Try Ken’s quizzes

Theres a guy that does a YouTube weekly pub quiz. Just stick that on.

Use a Kahoot

Or is that too lazy?

A 4 hour quiz?!

Popbitch do a daily music quiz.

We did a weekly quiz during the first lockdown. By the end, I was losing my mind. We had to think of five questions around a theme of our choosing for each quiz. Some rounds that were well received:

Ikea vs Tolkien - find a mixture of names from Lord of the Rings and Ikea products. People have to work out where they’re from.

Literal place names - large container of water for cleaning. Bath.

Are you smarter than an 11yo? - questions taken from KS2 sats papers which can be found online.

Celebrity real names - Reg Dwight is Elton John

Name a song with a specific word in the title - Red: Red Red Wine, Blue: Blue Suede Shoes

There are hundreds of quizzes on line. Just google pub quiz. You will have it done in less than half an hour.

Just do a sporcle rather than a quiz

DH made up a quiz for his work called 'Who would win?' which went down a storm.

Pick two characters from anywhere - say, Wonder Woman and Medusa.

Decide who would win for any random reason (eg Wonder Woman would win because Medusa would see her reflection in WW's bracelet cuffs and be turned to stone).

Creates lots of lively discussion

I am one of the few people who seems to have escaped Zoom quizzes! My family want to do one on Boxing Day which I've said I'll organise. Had some great ideas from mumsnet but can someone explain the basics to me? Does everyone just shout out the answers (because surely that's carnage) or does each person/family write down their answers? But then what? Do they send them to one person to score and is it done by email or using the chat function? Sorry to sound thick but as I say I've dodged the bullet up til now!!

Is this during your working hours?

Speckled people write down the answers then mark their own.
Creating a PowerPoint with the question and then one for later with question and answer is a good idea if you can spare the time as the connection problems will mean endless repeating yourself

Do My little pony or porn star. Best round ever.

A group of friends started a weekly quiz in April. DH and I lasted 6 weeks, the rest of them are still going. I’d have thought the ones without small DC would have better things to do on a Saturday night now.
