Monthly Charity Virtual Quiz

Every month, we host a Friday night virtual quiz in support of a different charity. These fun and interactive evenings bring together friends, families, and supporters from near and far—all while raising vital funds for a wide range of good causes. Everyone is welcome to join in!

How the Virtual Quiz Works

Step 1 – Register

Teams or individuals can register by:

• Using the link provided in the monthly Rotary Quiz email, or
• Emailing: quiz@brentwoodrotary.org.uk

Step 2 – Joining Information

All registered participants will receive joining instructions, including:

• The Zoom meeting link
• Their team name and number

Step 3 – Joining the Quiz

• The virtual doors will open 1 hour before the quiz start time
• On arrival, participants will enter the main waiting room
• The quiz organisers will then allocate participants to team breakout rooms based on registration details

Helpful (but not essential):
Please rename yourself in Zoom to include your team number.
Example:
John Smith → 1 John Smith (where 1 is your team number)

Step 4 – Arrive Early and Socialise

Once in your team room, you can:

• Meet and chat with your teammates
• Nominate a team member to submit answers using the Zoom Chat function

Step 5 – Introduction from the Quizmaster

• 10 minutes before the quiz starts, team rooms will close
• All participants will return to the main room (muted)
• The Quizmaster will explain the quiz format

Step 6 – Question Rounds

• Questions will be read out twice in the main room
• After each round, teams will return to their breakout rooms
• Use this time to discuss and agree on your answers
• The team spokesperson should record the final answers

Step 7 – Answers and Scoring

• After approximately 7 minutes, teams return to the main room
• The Quizmaster will reveal the answers

Scoring:

• 1 point per correct answer (no half marks)
• Teams mark their own answers (on trust)
• The spokesperson submits the score via Zoom Chat

Example:
Team 1 Round 1 = 10

Step 8 – Continuing the Quiz

Once all scores for the round are received and confirmed, the Quizmaster will proceed to the next round.
