What is a quiz night?

In the great tradition of English Pub Quizzes, you’re invited to a virtual quiz night where you can put your brain – and your pop culture knowledge – to the test. Your quiz will have a series of themed rounds on a variety of topics to challenge your memory, work your deduction skills, and keep you entertained!

This trivia night will be hosted by Ben Fast, host of the Well That’s Cool podcast and an Edmonton-based cultural sector educator.

What will I need to play?

Your brain, a piece of paper, and a pen or pencil. In the spirit of quizzing we do not use Google, smart phones, or other forms of reference help.

Make your life a bit easier by printing off a custom answer sheet, available one week before your event at www.benfast.ca/quiz.

How do I make a team?

Teams for virtual quizzes are best kept to 2 or 3 people. Organize your method of side chat like a conference call or Facebook Messenger video chat. Most smartphones have a “merge call” option for two separate phone calls. Simply call your first teammate then press the “add call” button and dial your second number. Your first call will be put on hold until you press “merge call.” You can also merge incoming calls by putting one on hold and answering the second call.Want to play solo? Solo players are more than welcome, just don’t expect any help from the competition!

How can I have even more fun?

Think of a fun team name before your event. Take it the extra mile and coordinate a team costume, you may even get a bonus point from your quiz host!

Adult beverages are welcome, and there will be a break half-way through when you can refill your glass.
