One of the ever presents on my Gift Guide over the years has been Linkee. The game shot to fame initially when it got some exposure on Dragons Den and is now in its 4th edition, available across many high street stores. The game is simple and fun to play, each card as 4 questions all linked in one way. One player reads out the questions, the first to spot the link wins. The questions are well written, the links are consistently inventive and its the perfect pick up and play game for the festive period.
To celebrate reaching 200 episodes, this Sunday (28th November) Ill be running an all day podcast quiz on the subject of Movies. As usual, each episode will be 15 questions long and I intend to upload episodes on the hour every hour from early until late.
The podcast is available on all major platforms - Itunes, Spotify etc or can be found HERE

Back to the Christmas guide guide and I am still on the subject of Quiz Books and this time its three books from BBC Quiz Shows - Namely - Mastermind, University Challenge and Only Connect. The BBC books are always high quality, earlier in the series I suggested the Brian of Britain book and even the likes of the Question of Sports books are always quality.
But those listed below serve as ideal gifts for the quizzer in your life, or as I keep saying a little Xmas treat for yourself. The questions are plentiful, high quality and well crafted. Hours of fun to be had!
It has been a hectic few weeks, hence the lack of posts, and I am only just getting round to mentioning the fabulous OQL Buzzer Quiz event which took place in Birmingham on the 13th November. 30 teams of quizzers from across the UK and Ireland came together to square off in a series of matches, that are best described as University Challenge style buzzer games (with the option to steal bonuses). I will post a full write up of some point, of what I have no hesitation in saying is my favourite ever quiz event, but see below a video from Gareth Kingstons excellent All Things quiz blog about the day as well as the final which was...well.....just take 40 minutes to watch it, that's all I will say...
The gift guide continues with another quiz book from my collection - Classic FM Friendly Quiz Book. I often find that Classical Music is one area, that if you put the work in, can reap great rewards in quiz. At every level from the pub quiz to the league competitions. This book is a great primer and a great test of that knowledge. With over 1000 questions the book looks at everything from straight up trivia questions, to match the symphony name to the composer style rounds, to guess the decade to themed rounds of operas and composers. It really does have a great coverage of subjects and it is all golden content you would expect to come up time and time again!
