puzlrQuiz Night

Rounds

Five kinds of round. Never the same night twice.

Mix them however you like. Every answer and every player has a shape and a letter, so nobody relies on colour alone. Each example below is a real question from the game.

01 · Standard

Everyone answers.

Four or six answers, a timer ring on the TV, five points for each right answer. The player in last place can pick the next category.

Example · picture question
A silver stovetop coffee maker heating on a gas hob in a kitchen

What is this stovetop coffee maker called?

Cafetière
Moka pot (right answer)
Cezve
Samovar
Example · picture question, against the clock
Three crusty French loaves on a wooden table7 points left

Name this long, thin French loaf with a crisp crust.

02 · Speed

Answer fast.

Ten points on offer, falling by one every second, so a quick right answer beats a slow one.

03 · Picture and zoom

Name what you see.

Zoom reveals start close up and pull back. Answer while it is still close for up to five bonus points. Some questions use pictures as the answers.

04 · Buzzer

First to buzz answers.

The answers stay hidden until someone buzzes. Right answers score and wrong ones cost points. Everyone else gets a second chance. Each player has their own buzzer sound.

05 · Sudden death

A tie at the top? One question settles it.

The first to buzz in and answer correctly wins the night.

Example · outline question
