The quiz format

How does a University Challenge-style quiz work?

Our buzzer quizzes bring the excitement of University Challenge into the classroom, while staying flexible enough to work with almost any group of students. Each quiz is built around two types of questions: starters and bonuses.

1

Starters

A starter is read aloud by the teacher. Students can buzz in at any point once they think they know the answer, and the first student or team to buzz gets the chance to answer.

“This country fought the Winter War against the Soviet Union. It shares borders with Norway and Sweden. What country has Helsinki as its capital?”
Answer: Finland

A correct answer scores points and earns a bonus. If the answer is wrong, the starter passes to the other team or teams.

2

Bonuses

Bonuses are follow-up questions linked to the starter. They are read only to the team that answered the starter correctly.

A shared challenge

A starter might lead to three bonus questions on the same subject. The team can discuss each one together before giving its answer.

That is the key feature of the format: students test their individual knowledge on starters, then work together to solve the bonuses.

How can you use the questions?

Adapt the format to your school, your students and the time you have available.

Team competition

Divide students into teams of three or four. Use Buzz, physical buzzers, bells or simply raised hands to decide who answers first.

Classroom enrichment

Skip the formal competition and read questions to the class, with students answering individually or discussing them together.

Quiz club

Create regular teams in a lunchtime or after-school club and run matches over several weeks.

Practice and learning

Encourage broader general knowledge as students encounter new facts, subjects and ideas in every set.

You decide how competitive it is

Run a full University Challenge-style competition with teams, scores and buzzers—or simply pick up the questions and start asking them to a class. You don’t need a complicated setup or specialist equipment.

Simple Process

From Purchase to Play in 3 Simple Steps
