12 Days of QuizmasThis year’s University Library Staff Club Christmas Quiz competition, The 12 Days of Quizmas, proved to be fun, challenging, nostalgic, and stressful, all at once!
The competition ran over 12 days, and teams received 10 Christmas-related questions per day; these were a mixture of disguises, anagrams, cryptic clues and pictures. The challenge was to identify details like movie quotes, Radio Times Christmas covers, must-have Christmas presents from years’ gone by, celebrities born during the 12 days of Christmas, and staff hiding behind Santa’s beard! The OSC (Office of Sprout Consumption) team was top of the leader board for the first four days! However, we dropped to sixth place as questions became more challenging, and despite a fantastic team effort - that included an ingenious colour-coded spreadsheet to work out the cluedo-like final round of questions - we ended a respectable 9th place. The coveted Quizmas Trophy went to the deserving winners, but there is always next year! |
