(As a bonus we were asked what my friend's favourite chocolate bar was based on the images - the letters on the wrappers spelled out the name of a seventh bar, but only a couple of us got it because we were so focused on recognising the wrappers)

Its easy to reverse-search an image now, but if you get creative you can make it impossible.Įach picture is a closeup of a chocolate bar wrapper - name each bar! Q: Why is he wearing jeans in the ocean? - 1 star
#Word stacks cheats movie
There are aggregated lists of film reviews that are baffling and terrible - read your friends the review, and have them guess which movie it's for. My friends and I did quizzes for about four months, and these are my favourite rounds we did that fit your criteria: This will be hard for the team to Google but maybe they could make reasonable guesses based on how well they know you (maybe not a great category if the quiz goes beyond friends and family). This is also something you could tie in with multiple choice. For example, can you guess the odd one out from these options This is also a good category for multiple choice and you can purposefully make it difficult to Google. Then you can either give teams a point for being within a certain range or you could tie this in with multiple choice. I wish to build a square pyramid out of standard toilet rolls purchased from Tesco (local supermarket) and build it to equal the height of the world's tallest building. Sometimes this can be tricky even with Google. Perhaps to make it more difficult, you can skip enumerations and make the categories more broad (as it's not hard to google all the Premier League stadia).Īs long as you're not afraid to do some calculations beforehand, you can ask teams to estimate answers.

For example, if the category is Premier League Football stadia, then you could give the clue You could specify that all answers in a particular round come from a specific category and then give a cryptic clue which must be solved to give the answer. It's a little tricky to give the answer for an arbitrary wordsearch but if you set up a grid reference and provide a way for players to specify the direction of the word (e.g, using cardinal directions) then you can make it work. I don't think this needs much explanation but you could present a wordsearch and ask competitors to find a number of words.

You can draw the pictures on Paint or something similar but a popular device I've seen recently is to use emojis to represent TV shows, movies, songs, etc. How do you make a relatively cheat-proof multiple choice question?Ī rebus is a puzzle device that combines the use of illustrated pictures with individual letters to depict words and/or phrases.

This tip was suggested by Ken Jennings on his blog in 2006.įor bonus points: One of the rounds needs to be multiple choice. For example, "How old is Etta Place when she leaves for Bolivia?", without ever mentioning Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid by name. Leave out the easiest search term from the question. One way to have audio-based clues that avoid the the Shazam problem.
