Title: Exlilian Forum Pub Quiz
Post by: Tusky on September 02, 2020, 10:01:48 AM
Welcome to the Exilian Pub Quiz!!!

Good morning trivia fans. For a bit of fun I have put together a little quiz, consisting of few rounds of questions. It's open for anyone reading that may wish to enter. There is a small prize on offer: A trophy that you can add to your forum profile if you want!
All you have to do is send your answers by way of a message to me. Bonus point if you give yourself an amusing pub quiz team name :)

I'll leave this up for a week and then post the answers on this thread!

Good luck!!

Round 1: Video Round

This video is 10 theme tunes or well known songs from TV and Film - except they are done in a chiptune style. Can you identify which movie or TV show that the tune is associated with?


Round 2: Picture Round

Here are 10 visual puns - drawn by my own fair hand. They all represent a word or short phrase (no longer than 3 words). So by way of example, this one is lovable (love a bull)

So here are the 10 visual puns!

Round 3: Questions

These five questions are song lyrics that have been reworded slightly, as if someone posh were saying them. Can you tell what song the lyric is from, and who performed it?


These five questions are "technically correct" movie descriptions. So they are a literal / oblique way of describing a movie. Can you tell what the movie is?

Ooh fun! ;D

I did okay with rounds 1 and 2, but round 3 really stumps me. I'm going to hold on sending my answers so I can brood some more on them on the weekend.

Yeah no problem.

I hope you get some on round 3 and it's not too hard for everyone!

If it is maybe I can add in a couple of hints

Glad to hear! There are a couple of entrants, but don't think they are from that group.

Just submitted my final answers. I actually had a eureka moment when a random tweet I saw mentioned a word from one of the questions. ;D

Duly answered, though I suspect I might have the worst result of anyone here!

And the winner is......... (dramatic pause) Right twice a day, otherwise known as clockwork! Congratulations!

Thanks to all those that entered! It was actually fairly close between the teams in the end.

I should think I'll probably post another one in a couple of months time for an autumn edition.

I did enjoy the answer video, very appropriate use of the medium.
I thought round 2 question 4 was a bit ambiguous, I would've guessed 'restaurant'.
What was the winning score?

And thanks for that!

You're right. I did give half points for restaurant and assistant

What was the winning score?

25

By my calculation I got about seventeen and a half, which I'll happily take given the extent to which TV/film is Not My Area :)

I had you down for 18.5!

But yes there was a fair bit of telly trivia in that one. For the next one I have some awesome music based video rounds, hope that's better than TV / Film! :)

If anyone is curious and would like me to send over what their scores were let me know
