The North London Tavern, 375 Kilburn High Road, NW6 7QB, 020 7625 6634,  is offering a Monday night quiz.  Thanks to ‘Bible John’ for spotting it, and I suppose we’ll have to stop calling him that…

So to big money matters.  A quiz has been found that would net you the equivalent of £500 for getting 25 out of 25 questions right.  Fail that, but still win the quiz, and you get food and drink vouchers, so can’t be bad.  What do you need to win it?  Media and pop culture savvy, a bit of local knowledge, and imperviousness to the QM’s habit of referring to every single question as  ‘nice and handy’.  Oh, and some tolerance for the slow pace and the loud music between every question.  It’s reasonably cheat-proof as well, because a lot of the questions are visual and appear on the screens round the pub.  On the last night we were there we won with a far from impressive 18 out of 25 but another time we got 23and didn’t win the quiz… yet the big cash prize seems to be receding.

And where is it?  Not in the UK, friends, which is why I said ‘the equivalent of £500′.  If you think you might need to know, drop me a line and I’ll tell you the location.

I ran a piece not that long ago on resources for quizmasters, and over the next couple of weeks I’ll be looking at resources for quiz players.  Don’t touch that dial….
