The Queen’s Head (formerly The Jekyll and Hyde) Quiz

SpeedQuizzing is an interactive quiz game hosted from a laptop computer and played on smartphones and tablets.

Note: Two of each usually bring tablets, so no need to bring one 🙂

Players take part in the same way they would a pen and paper quiz, but instead of pens and paper, each team uses a free app on their smart device, with the presenter reading questions from a laptop computer.

### How is SpeedQuizzing different to a traditional pub quiz?

• Rather than having an unspecified amount of time to decide on an answer, teams are given a time-limit during which they input an answer using the keypad on their smart device screen. This gives players considerably less time to attempt to cheat!
• Answers are submitted by a single tap on the device screen, e.g. first letter of the answer, multiple-choice (A, D etc), entering the year for a song, etc.
• The answer is revealed after each question, rather than all together at the end of a round or the entire quiz.
• Scoring is taken care of automatically by the laptop, with the leader-board being accessible throughout the event.
• Each team also gets to pick their own sound, from a range of songs, TV theme tunes and film soundtracks, which is played every time a team comes first.
• There are 4 rounds x 20 questions each, which means the quiz is around 2 hours and ends at 9:30pm.

See you there! 😊
