We're going to a quiz night

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. We’re going to a quiz night at the clubrooms on Saturday. Our lifestyle village has a social committee who are responsible for organising entertainment from time to time. Bus trips to various locations are popular and we’ve been on a couple of those. We’ll be organised into tables of eight. We had a group of six and we’ll be allocated two more people on the night. I hope our fellow table mates know more than we do. We’re not very knowledgeable about movies, popular music or sport but we’ll be sure to take something nice to nibble on so perhaps our lack of knowledge won’t be so noticeable. Do you enjoy quiz nights?

It sounds like trivia games here. I have done them but haven't gone in a long time. I was thinking of joining a club once I am more settled.

@JudyEv I'd like to join a new group. Be a bit more social. I'm an introvert so prefer smaller groups.

@noni1959 I'm not keen on large groups too. Vince is much more social than me.

Trivia sounds similar. Here, church groups and sporting clubs sometimes have them too.

They can be fun but it's more enjoyable if you know a few answers. Maybe we will this time.

I have never been to one and I don't think we have one here. Those only happen in schools here.

@JudyEv Oh, schools never do that here. It's just an exclusive school event for students.

Well, since I live alone and not in a structured community there aren't any activities like that. I does sound like it could be fun

I never had a quiz night, but this sounds interesting. We had a "murder mystery dinner", where we were organized in tables of eight to discover "who done it".

I've never been to a quiz night anywhere and am sure I wouldn't be able to answer questions about music, sports or movies. I do know quite a bit about science... but that's probably not needed at something like that. Hopefully, you guys will enjoy yourselves.

It depends who sets the questions but sport is usually quite a bit component. It will be interesting to see what questions they put up for pensioners/oldies. lol

I like playing quizzes on the internet page that deals with trivia questions dealing with pop culture to names of animals on Publishers Clearinghouse web pages.

It's years since I went to any kind of quiz. I'm not much use as I never watch TV so I know nothing about any so-called 'famous' people, and I'm not interested in sports either. I can only answer the odd question on some esoteric subject no-one else knows!
