UNDER DEVELOPMENT, IN PROGRESS, AND WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED AND RELEVANT
Since communication in this country is so complicated and bothersome (except with newcomers and although it is easier than ever before in the rest of the world), in addition to the whatsapp group I have created, this is from now on the only place where information on the quizzes I attend can be found.
- Quiznight: Let’s get Quizical, advertised on Meetup here, on instagram here, and on Facebook here. Takes place mid-week at 19.30 in alternate weeks in James June, Karl-Marx Allee 93, and Sundays at 18.30 in alternate weeks in Alte Turnhalle, Holteistraße 6-9.
I have never, and probably never will, attend the mid-week quiznights in James June, but am trying to attend all the ones in Alte Turnhalle, and I assume the system is the same: reservations are done either individually or in groups, and up to now, walk-ins have been possible, but the quiz is getting popular and the hall fuller and fuller each time. The majority of tables are reserved for teams who register on meetup, and the rest are “mix-tables” where individuals can get together with walk-ins to form a team. A team is maximum six people.
In both cases, questions are asked in both English and German, the cost of attending is 3 euro per person, and in every other way it follows a classic pub quiz pattern.
NOTE: For the next Sunday quiz, on Sunday 01 December, we have AD, QL, and myself. I have reserved a table for six (team name “The Village Idiots” as usual) and we are thus looking for up to three more people to complete the team..
In addition to meetup and instagram, the next dates are also advertised at the end of each quiz. Should anyone want to attend a future quiz, please let me know in time to reserve a table.
Oh, and there is a bar with drinks and snacks. I have ever only tried their redwine – once, and never again, but reportedly, everything else is good.
2. The Castle Quiz
Takes place every Monday. It gets quite crowded and noisy and is more like a classic pub quiz. If I can get a team of at least four, max. six people together I will try to reserve a table. I would need to know this well before 10.00 on Monday morning, since tables are usually booked out at about 10.02 :-).
Just to repeat – if you would like to attend this quiz on any given Monday, please let me know in due time.
