The Sun on the Hill Speed Quiz

Ignore the pictureeeeee this is at the Sun on the Hill.

--- The quiz itself starts around 8pm and ends around 10pm. ----- Arrive from 7pm.

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

Please bring fully charged phones as we might need them in case we don’t have enough tablets 😊

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.

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 usually 4 rounds x 20 questions each.
• The quiz itself starts at 8pm and ends around 10pm.

Teams can be up to 6 players so in the event of 7 or more attending we will split into 2(or, if necessary, more) teams.

Speed quizzing is not just about general knowledge, it is also about how quickly you can think and answer under competitive time pressure (extra points are awarded for the fastest correct answers!)
It is not just about straight Q&A, rounds include sequences, Wordsnake, multitap and music!

The Sun on the Hill is a spacious modern bar with a good food menu and the usual drinks available.

See you there! 😊
