 QUIZ IN THE NORTH is back!

On August 14th at 11:30am there is a quiz event at the Ship and Mitre pub in Liverpool. This event includes an individual quiz and two team quizzes and is the first QITN event in nearly two years!

These events are always great fun, very relaxed and everyone is really friendly. You can see some of the the stars of Quiz there and I know that lots of OQL players, myself included will be in attendance.

The pub itself has a huge array of beers and ales and a superb food menu and it should be a great day.

These events are non-profit and entry is usually just a donation of your choice to the chosen charity of the organiser.

If you are interested in going please pop me an email to Daniel@thequizaddict.com and Ill put you in touch with the relevant people!

Request a Subject

The Podcast seems to be going well so far, thanks so far for all the feedback and reviews etc. I am looking for some suggestions for the themed quizzes of which I hope to be able to do 1-2 per week. Please email me at daniel@thequizaddict.com if you have any ideas (as long as its quiz worthy) and Ill give it a go. 

Remember the podcast is to be found  HERE and should slowly be making its way onto all the major platforms. (Recently spotify approved)

Pop Culture Challenge

 

OQL (Online Quiz League) is still taking registrations for its Pop Culture Challenge. An individual quiz in MIMIR format to test your knowledge of all things pop culture. Having played in the first competition earlier this year, I am over the moon that a second season is only weeks away. The questions were always well written, interesting and produced close contest and after 2-3 weeks the matches become ranked, so you play people of similar ability. Its a great concept, very cheap to enter and very much worthwhile. The perfect "foot in the door" for anyone new to the competitive quizzing world. Full details to sign up can be found HERE and if you do sign up please mention the Quiz Addict!
