Christmas Quiz 2023

Who doesn’t love a quiz?!

In pubs, in the office, at parties, at home, in the car and on TV, quizzes are a laugh!

They test us, they challenge us,  they pass the time,  they focus us and importantly they bring us together.

Unsurprisingly, general knowledge quizzes are the most popular type of quiz – so here we are, 25 questions for you this Christmas!

By the way, don’t be awkward with the quizmaster or they may apply forfeits (our rule here!).
