Quizzes and the Like

What’s in a question?

If my balls are black and blue and yours are red and yellow – what game are we playing?

You're probably saying you're pretty sure it ain't no deposit bingo or chess. But what is it exactly?

Want to find out the answer? Then why not pop along to a CRUK quiz?

Combining questions, rivalry and the odd brain reviving beverage, our popular quizzes provide a great – and informative night out! Catering to all needs, pop, sport, film & tv and for those know-it-all’s – the amazing general knowledge quiz! Think you can beat our resident quiz master? Then what are you waiting for? Bring along friends and colleagues to join in the fun! Or, ever wondered who the office brain box was? As with all our other events, we also run corporate quiz evenings! And of course there’s always our yearly Capital Quiz Challenge to test those little grey cells too!

City of London Friends of Cancer Research quizzes have proved to be extremely successful over the years, generating much interest and money for the charity. Some of the quizzes are now even so popular we even have to split them over two nights and offer some as invitation only – confirmation of what a great night out they are!

For further information about our quizzes, please click on the links or contact our Maestro and MC Peter Inwood.

And for those of you who were wondering…

The answer is croquet!

**NOTE** Since the start of 2007 our quizzes have been held at the Poet in Middlesex Street, right on the border of The Square Mile (but technically in E1). Not only is this venue very convenient for Liverpool Street Station, but it also provides good food and a selection of brain reviving refreshments.

Apart from these there will be other quizzes from time to time which will be publicised here. Elsewhere on this page you will find details of the previous "Capital Quiz Challenge" which recently, in recognition of our pre-eminence in staging quiz evenings, we took over from Cancer Research UK itself. Have a look, see the fun we had and make a note to point this out to your company's big cheeses in time for next year's event!

Quizzes, in common with all our events, can also be run as corporate evenings. Contact us for more details, or click here for pictures of recent corporate events.
