About pub quizzes
Pub quizzes are a fun way to pass the time and have a little extra fun while out at night. These pub games were invented around 1970, and have been popular ever since. The games are often played during week nights as a way to bring more people into the pubs. Anyone interested in having a little more fun when they are out at a pub should try to go to a pub that is having a quiz night.
The rules to the game vary by location. Different pubs have different rules. Some have participants work individually, while others have participants work as a team. Some pubs have participants write answers on paper and others just call out answers. Scoring is different for each location as well. Some pubs have participation fees that go to the winner at the end of the night.
Pub quizzes may be a dying form of entertainment. Because of the easy access to information on cell phones and laptops, it is hard to prevent people from cheating. Some pubs have even gone so far as to forbid the use of cell phones altogether during the game. Patrollers were sent into the bathrooms to make sure people were not using the phones in there. While this is a little extreme, it may be the only way that a fair game can continue. Otherwise the game becomes more of a race to see who can find the answer the fastest.
There are many different types of questions that are contained in the games. These questions can cover sports, entertainment, famous people, true or false, puzzles such as crossword puzzles or anagrams, who am I questions, picture identity, and other categories depending on location. It is important to have a wide variety of knowledge to be good at a pub game. A similar board game is Trivial Pursuit.
Everyone should try and experience at least one pub game in their life. They are fun and exciting, and offer a different setting than a traditional night out. Even visitors to the U.K. will enjoy going to a pub hosting a pub game and trying their hand at the game. Questions range from easy to hard, so everyone is challenged. Sometimes the pubs will offer discounted drinks for quiz participants.
To learn more about pub quizzes there are many websites online that further explain the game and even give study hints.
