Time for Trivia
       Connect with your family & friends by hosting your very own
     fun quiz night, all from the comfort of your own home. To make
    things a little easier, we’ve pre-prepared a mix of trivia questions
      and answers you can use to help get the virtual party started.

                        Virtual Quiz Tips
    1.   Use a video platform such as Zoom or Skype and invite all
         participants to the meeting at a set day & time. Ensure they can
         all access the platform or download if required beforehand to
         reduce any technical delays.

    2. Suggest all team members have a pen and paper at the ready,
       drinks and snacks are optional - but recommended!

    3. Split the questions into even numbered rounds (for easier
       marking) and have each team take a photo of their answers after
       each round and send it to the host - WhatsApp works well.
