About Easter quizzes
Here's a bit more information on what you can expect from our Easter quizzes, with some example questions to follow.
Novelty rounds
These rounds help give our quizzes a quirky edge. Rounds include (but are not limited to);
Famous bunnies, expressions, connections, who am I, think-link, food and drink, multiple choice, higher or lower, odd one out, true or false, chocoholics, cryptic clues, what's missing, what comes next, miracles, one to ten, the days of Easter!
Blockbuster rounds
There are 3 types of blockbuster rounds that come up in our quizzes.
Blockbusters ABC - All the answers begin with the letter/s specified
Blockbusters Trivia Trail - The last letter of the first answer, is the first letter of the second answer, and so on
Blockbusters 9 spells 10 - The first letters of the first 9 answers, spells the final answer in the round
Choices when you order
Having been writing and supplying quizzes to pubs since 1990, we understand that not all landlords, managers and quiz teams enjoy the same format of quiz or difficulty level of questions; and that some have the need or wish to simply lay out quiz sheets on the tables for teams to complete and hand in. For more detail on these choices;
Choice of difficulty level
Easy, Regular or Hard. No points for guessing the least popular there - yet there are pubs that enjoy our hard questions, particularly when they have teams that participate in our league games. So the choice is there!
Choice of format (Random or categorised)
Random format
The questions get merged into a number of straight miscellaneous rounds UNLESS it makes sense for a round to remain grouped - such as 'higher or lower' or 'trivia trail" - in which case we leave that round grouped and have miscellanous rounds either side of it.
Categorised format
Easter quizzes are laid out in the following rounds;
Q 1 to 15 - Easter related miscellaneous round
Q 16 to 20 - Novelty round
Q 21 to 25 - Novelty round
Q 26 to 35 - Blockbuster round
Q 36 to 45 - Easter related miscellaneous round
Choice of version (Quizmaster or tabletop)
Quizmaster version
Contains the questions & answers ready for a quizmaster to read out.
Tabletop version
Questions and answers and ALSO provides sheets with just the questions & blank spaces for the teams to write their answers in - a quizmaster is not necessarily needed. This is useful if your pub is laid out in two or more bars, or if you want to run a quiz on a sunny, sunday afternoon, in the garden for instance.
Example questions from our Easter quizzes;
Question 1
What film contains the lines; "Crucifixion?" - "Er, no, freedom actually....they said I hadn't done anything and I could go and live on an island somewhere."
Answer
Life of Brian
Followed by the lines; "Oh I say, that's very nice. Well, off you go then." - "No, I'm just pulling your leg, it's crucifixion really." / The 1979 comedy was written & performed by the Monty Python team / In the script the conversation takes place between a 'Mr Cheeky' and the 'Coordinator' during the scene where a line of prisoners for crucifixion are being filed past a jailer
Question 2
What did Jesus wash for the Apostles before the Last Supper?
Answer
Their Feet
Explaining his actions, he said 'A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you' which translates in Latin to 'Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos' and the word ' led to Maundy Thursday (the day the Last Supper was held)
Question 3
In Anglo-Saxon mythology, what type of pet did Eostara (E-OZ-TARA), create the Easter bunny from?
Answer
Her pet bird
Eostara was the pagan Goddess of fertility & birth after which Easter is named / She changed her bird into a rabbit to entertain a group of children, and much to their delight, the rabbit retained its former ability to lay eggs & even laid brightly coloured ones for them….and The Easter Bunny was born!
