You can play our quiz games in a variety of ways with as many people as you like. Normally a quiz master will read the questions and players must write down their answers for scoring at the end. Use the picture as a bonus “who’s who?” or “What’s this?“ round. You can mix and match this quiz with any of our quizzes to make a broader quiz. Players can pick which genre they want a question from. Take note that the coloured side are the questions and the black and white side are the answers - no peeking!
A NOTE ABOUT OUR CARD GAMES: Whilst every care is taken to make sure the information in this game is correct, we cannot guarantee its accuracy. We would be grateful for your feedback at feedback@pixelpete.co.uk
