Players (up to 10 with the free membership) download the app, input the game pin code and play the quiz through their smartphone or tablet by clicking on multiple choice blocks. Kahoot – ostensibly a learning app that’s been commandeered by bored, boozed-up lockdowners– hosts a large number of ready-made quizzes and allows you to make your own on a template too. If you can’t be bothered to pull together your own questions, there are a few neat quiz platforms to try out. Remember Skype! Eh? What were all tharrabout?

And then there's Skype itself, which got a much-hated update from Microsoft in 2017 and now feels like something Peter Kay would do a routine about. Microsoft Teams is like Skype though with far, far better functionality and, less happily, the overwhelming whiff of an enforced corporate fun day. As we'll discuss, though, the centralised quizmaster set-up isn't really the point of the virtual pub quiz.

If you're going the full Roy Walker, you could stream on Twitch and get your mates to send over their answers via Google Forms to stop any cheating. House Party is the other platform that's had a sudden surge in users since the lockdown, and while it feels a bit rinky-dink it's easy to use on your phone and fairly reliable.

A lot of people are using Zoom, but if you're worried about exactly how private it is after last year's hacking scandal and the way that trolls were able to get in on meetings they weren't invited to, you've got other options. One person needs to make a call as to how you're going to see and hear each other, and it has to be at least one day in advance of the quiz itself.

How to do the whole thing properly though? Stick to these guidelines and you'll be fine. We've got some ideas for the best Zoom quiz rounds here. The yearning for the quiz – for trivia, for factoids, for giving a numerical value to our cleverness – abides, but now's the time to get creative. Now we've burned through about as many straight trivia rounds as it's possible for a human mind to cope with, virtual quizzing stands at an exciting juncture. We all need a bit of direction at the minute, and a pub quiz sits right in the sweet spot of normality and novelty Pub quizzes are an essential pillar of Britain's national character, but they're also a very handy way of getting otherwise flaky mates to coalesce around an activity. Why though? Why in this rolling crisis have we attempted to keep ourselves going with endless rounds of questioning? The complete lack of the 'pub' bit of the pub quiz would, you'd think, take away much of the appeal, but linking up with mates via trivia does make a lot of sense. Too good for quizzes are we? Completely numb to the promise of an evening spent guessing which of your mates from home tweeted that they were 'jst havin a rogan josh absolutely legendary curry haha' in August 2009? No you're not. You might well roll your eyes and do a big tut. It's depressing and stressful.Īnd, just as then, the strong, comforting arms of the pub quiz are ready to hold us close through this winter of discontent. We're back in the same straits we were back in the dark days of last March, with everything shut and no prospect of properly hanging out with anyone except whoever we happen to be sharing a fridge with until early spring. All that chat about how great it was to be done with 2020 and free to strut onto the broad, sunlit, vaccinated uplands of 2021 feels a little premature.
