 FAQs

  • The Wednesday Quiz starts at 21.15 every Wednesday evening at Thiemeloods in Nijmegen. Teams generally start arriving before 21.00 to make sure they get their table.

  • We aim to be finished by 23.00. Sometimes we run over by a few minutes but never by too much!

  • How long is a piece of string…? It’s not the easiest quiz in the world, but at the same time it isn’t impossible. New teams should be able to compete with the regular teams. There is a lot of variety in the types and topics for questions, as well as the difficulty levels. Most important is the fact that people can have a bit of craic, and enjoy a social activity with friends.

  • The quiz costs €3 per person.

  • No. We don’t mind if you want to play on your own or with 10 of your best friends. There are advantages and disadvantages to both too many and too few teams mates.
    Generally speaking, the most successful teams tend to have 5 or 6 people.

    Current Affairs

    The Current Affairs round of questions consists of 8 questions related to the news from the previous seven days. The questions generally cover major global news. From politics, international conflicts, and economics, to science, weather extremes, and culture, we try to cover as wide a range of current events as possible.

    Sample questions
  • A woman stands in front of a gallery wall of colorful portraits and ornate frames, with a green wall and wooden floor.

    Entertainment

    The Entertainment round of questions consists of 8 questions related to… well anything that can be ambiguously considered, “entertaining”. The Entertainment round covers questions related to movies & tv, music, literature, theatre, gaming, and pop-culture. Why isn’t sport considered “entertainment”? I don’t know. It just isn’t for pub quiz purposes.

    Sample questions
  • A person sitting on an oval bench in an art gallery with red walls, looking at paintings. There is a large framed photo of a waterfall with green foliage and a bridge in the center, and a world map with pink location markers on another wall. A pink location pin icon is added to the image near the map.

    Geography

    Explore the wonders of the world as we navigate through diverse landscapes, cultures, and landmarks. From naming capitals and identifying national and regional flags, to recalling the tallest mountains and longest rivers, our geography round challenges your map-smarts and knowledge of the world around us.

    Sample questions
  • A woman wearing glasses and a beige sweater stands in front of a collage-style artwork in a gallery. The artwork features vintage photographs, sculptures, and illustrations, including a large image of a blimp, a woman with dark hair in a vintage dress, a man with a pipe, classical sculptures, a black and white photo of cars, and various smaller images of historical figures and scenes.

    Audio Round

    Dive into a symphony of sound during our audio round at 'The Wednesday Quiz,' where carefully curated clips of renowned songs (and some not so renowned songs), will have you tapping your toes, humming along, and putting your melodic memory to the ultimate test. To be fair, they are equally likely to have you pulling out your hair and blocking your ears, praying that the earworms don’t take hold. Alway a fun round!
