About

Colombo Pub Quiz is a team-based pub quiz. You come in, pay your sign-up fee (lkr1,000 per team) and grab yourselves a table.

How to play

The Quiz is made up of six categories of ten questions each. The categories usually are News, Sports, Movies & TV, Music, and two other categories which change randomly. The questions range from the mundane to the esoteric with somewhat of an intellectual bent.

The Big Difference in Colombo Pub Quiz is the Joker round. A Joker round gives double points, and must be declared at the beginning of the round.

There may be other rounds and extra scores that may affect the final score.

The winning team is the one that gets the highest number of points at the end of all the rounds.

If there is a tie for first place, there will be a tie-breaker competition of the Quiz Master's choice.

The Quiz Master is fallible, and may make mistakes, and is always willing to hear any corrections, but at the end of the day, the Quiz Master's decision is final.

Cheating

The Quiz runs on the honour system, and on self-policing. Use of cellphones and other devices to cheat is discouraged, and we encourage people to point out people cheating.
