Why a Quiz?

Everyone enjoys testing their knowledge of trivia as witnessed by the popularity of such TV quizzes as “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” and “The Weakest Link”. Quizzes can be difficult, just think of programmes like “University Challenge” and “Mastermind”, or less demanding. They can be aimed at adults, children or the entire family. In other words quizzes are all manner of things to all people, and can be an excellent way of raising money for your school, club or just providing entertainment for a family or works event.

In this section I will attempt to give some tips on how to organise such an event. Bear in mind that this is not necessarily the definitive guide to quiz nights but merely my ideas from my personal experiences. Every venue and every audience will be different so versatility and adaptability are key to a successful evening.
