How to play

Print or photocopy enough answer sheets for each player in your group.
There are 4 rounds of trivia, each with 8 questions.
Each question is from a specific category, e.g Question 1 is the ‘Art and
Literature’ question, Question 2 is always ‘Film and TV’ etc.
Before each round, each player nominates on their score sheets which
categories they feel are their strongest to their weakest by giving each
question a point value from 8 to 1. e.g. A player might give 8 points to their
strongest category ‘Sport’, then 7 points to their second strongest category
‘Music’, and so on until they have allotted a score for each category. (Players
can write these in the circles provided beside each question box)

From 8 to 1 nominate the
categories in terms of your
strengths. In this example
the player is most confident
of getting "Film and TV" (8)
questions correct and
"Geography" is their
weakest category (1).

Once everyone has prepared their sheets, elect someone in your group to
read the questions out for that round. This person can also play as the
answers are not on the same sheets as the questions.
Each player completes their answers and the sheets can be all marked by
one person or passed to the person on your left for marking.
If their answer is correct, players receive the point value they chose for that
category toward their total score for the round.
All four rounds are tallied to give each player an overall score and decide a
winner.
