Second quiz of the year last night, a quick hour's work in the more typical environment of a city pub for a big bank. Fitted in a lot of material, went pretty well, they had lots of fun, it was very competitive, a good standard.
Naturally, because we're based in London, we have most experience in quizzes in the city, so we know this kind of clientele pretty well , and they are, in a sense, our ideal audience.
Still, every quiz is different and there are always little surprises, so you can never get complacent about thinking you know your audience too well and not preparing properly and reacting to the atmosphere.
Heard a good/bad line last night which i may use in future: Sometimes I ask the question 'Who would have killed you if you were a victim of patricide? Someone said 'Patrick'.....deathly hush....sorry, that's the kind of thing that amuses me and will be making its way to a quiz near you.
Was helped last night by Ronald Stewart, who has been kind enough to place a link to this blog on his own, on http://blog.treasurelondon.com. Ronald is in the same field of 'corporate events' as us, running treasure hunts around London.
You notice that companies are always looking for new ways to entertain and 'bond' their employees, and, obviously, I'm all for it. It would be good to combine some of the options - quiz paintballing, for example- every question you get wrong, you get splatted. What could go wrong?
