UNDER DEVELOPMENT, IN PROGRESS, AND WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED AND RELEVANT

LATEST NEWS: Agata, Joseph and I teamed up with three people found on the Meetup post, and came in fourth last of between 20 and 30 teams.

Next Sunday quiz in Alte Turnhalle is on 19 January, and currently, we have a full team: AD, CE, GE, JC, PS, and me, and when reservations open, I will book a table for our usual team name – “The Village Idiots”.

In case of cancellations, I will mention it here and in the whatsapp group, but for others who want to join, there is always the option to sign up individually in the below mentioned meetup group and to go to one of the mix tables where it is easy to find others to team up with.

Quiznight: Let’s get Quizical, advertised on Meetup here, on instagram here, and on Facebook here. I have a whatsapp group which everyone can use to communicate about this and getting teams together. 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 (important to arrive well in time to be seated and ready to start at 18.30).

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.
