(Re)Discovering Your Passion: How I Went from Pub Quiz Explorer to Quiz Master

I moved to Munich over two years ago, and despite having a great experience, I have missed the pub culture that is a staple of British social life. Pop into a local pub in Britain or Ireland and chances are it will have a quiz night, my specialty, with seasoned regulars and teams competing for prizes. This past year, my co-Consul and fellow expat Elena and I have rediscovered our passion for pub quizzes, while acquiring some uniquely non-useful knowledge and lots of new friends along the way.

A Trivial Adventure

The quiz in its first incarnation was a way to have fun with colleagues during our lunch break. Each week one person would prepare several rounds of questions, testing each other카지노 게임 컬렉션s trivia skills. It soon dawned on us that a pub quiz would be ideal for the 카지노게임사이트 platform, not least because it카지노 게임 컬렉션s a great group activity, but also because 카지노게임사이트 members come from every corner of the globe, are very well travelled, and are likely to have acquired a lot of knowledge along the way! The Munich Pub Quiz Explorers Group was born.

We boldly set out to discover Munich카지노 게임 컬렉션s pub quizzes, and after a few forays to the city카지노 게임 컬렉션s Irish bars, realized we could put something on especially for 카지노게임사이트 members. With the soccer world cup around the corner in July 2018, we staged our first self-organized quiz, wrote our own questions and hosted exclusively for 카지노게임사이트 members.

The feedback was uncompromising. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We want more,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said the participants. Now, the format has grown to seven rounds of random topics, with six to seven teams competing for prizes.

Let카지노 게임 컬렉션s Get Quizzical

We now have our own seasoned regulars, who make it through thick and thin each month, and the quiz has become so competitive we seed regular participants based on their previous achievements and decide the teams, to ensure a level playing field each month. This also ensures participants get to know new people each week, and indeed, the conversation always flows.

Here카지노 게임 컬렉션s a few questions to give you an idea (answers at the bottom).

  1. Who was second man to walk on the moon? (Easy)
  2. Which species of bird has the longest wingspan? (Medium)
  3. From which Shakespeare play is the following line taken: 카지노 게임 컬렉션Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.카지노 게임 컬렉션 (Hard).

Why I Love It

Being a quiz master has been a revelation. It means I can share my rediscovered passion with like-minded people, make new friends, and stockpile precious trivia for other pub quizzes. As 카지노게임사이트 employees, it gives us insight into how members experience the platform, and I like to think, lends a human face to the company. Many of us at 카지노게임사이트 HQ are expats, too, and making expat life a great experience is, of course, our chief concern.

If anyone out there would like to organize their own 카지노게임사이트 quizzes, I카지노 게임 컬렉션ll be happy to share my growing store of questions and give tips to organizing a great evening. You can find me on the platform through the Munich Pub Quiz Explorers.
