How to play

Our Father’s Day themed virtual quiz has five rounds

to test your general knowledge.

For the first three rounds of ten questions, write down your

answers on a sheet of paper. The host will then read out the

correct answers for you to mark your score.

The next two rounds are played on the buzzer. You can say

your name to buzz in – or, to make it more fun, try using a

musical instrument or a dog toy to make a unique sound!

The rules

We hope our quiz helps you to feel closer to your loved ones, no matter where they are.

It’s just for fun, so remember the golden rules:

• No cheating! Search engines are banned (except in round 4), and please be honest about your score.

• No arguing! We’ve checked all the answers are correct, so please don’t tell off the host if you disagree with them.

• Mute your microphone when the questions are read out so you don’t accidentally say any of the answers.

Get ready to play…
