A Whittle Quiz⛄
Run by a 30-year-old who failed GCSE English… what could possibly go wrong?
So why this quiz?
Four reasons. No more, no less.
8 Different Rounds
All completely different. No two rounds the same. Ever.
Great Prizes
Free Food, Free Booze, A Roll-Over Jackpot AND A Monthly Jackpot... Madness.
Great Deals
2-4-1 Cocktails All Night... Why? Guess we're generous 🤷
Charlie
Yeah we can't believe we're about to say it... He's dumb. He once pronounced Rhinoceros as "Rhino-Saurus" 🤦
So how does it work?
Well let's put this into steps for you...
Book
Yes really... Please book. It is so popular it's unlikely you will get a table as a walk-in...
Turn Up
Pretty self-explanatory... If you can't make it PLEASE let the pub know... We'd HATE to put you on our naughty list 😢
Get Ready
Entry fee is CASH ONLY – £1 per person, MAX 8 players. Choose a team name – can be whatever you want (within reason). Get on the app... details below.

Probably lose... Or Win? Take the p*ss out of Charlie? Who knows 👀
The App
Here's how the rounds work...
Keypad
You'll have a keypad on your screen with letters A-Z. Charlie asks a question and you choose the first letter of the answer.
Important: Ignore "A" and "The" – If Charlie asks about The Beatles, you'd put B for Beatles, not T.
Correct Answer
10 pts
Speed Bonus
1st: +6 → 6th: +1
Two Choices
(Chosen by Charlie)⚔️ War Round
Same concept as Round 1, BUT only the fastest team gets an additional 10 points on top of the 10 for a correct answer.
Correct Answer
10 pts
Fastest Answer

Fastest team gets to choose which team to REMOVE 10 points from. 😈
🐝 Buzzin' Round
Charlie asks a question... If you think you know it, you BUZZ IN.
✓ Correct = +10 pts
✗ Wrong = -10 pts
Other teams can tap to agree with an answer – if they're right, they get 5 pts.
The Wheel Round
Same concept as Round 1, BUT if ANY of the bottom 3 teams answers correctly quicker than ALL of the top 3 teams... they get to SPIN THE WHEEL.

At the start of each month, recommendations are requested for possible bonus rounds. Each week, Charlie picks 4 options for the crowd to vote on.
The crowd chooses one as an average, and Charlie picks the other.
⚠️ If Charlie feels a bonus round would be boring, he'll throw it away and pick another.
🎂 Is it your birthday? Let Charlie know and he'll ask you to come up and choose the 4 options at random!
Music Round
Don't really need to explain this one, do we? 🎵
Correct Answer

Speed Bonus
1st: +6 → 6th: +1
Multi-Tap
Charlie always finishes with multi-tap questions. He asks a question and you select all the possible correct answers.
Per Correct Answer
2 pts
Speed Bonus
Only if you get ALL answers correct
Every round (excluding the Buzzin' Round) – Charlie can turn on Evil Mode which means you will lose 10 points if you get the answer wrong.
He doesn't do this often... But can surprise teams. 😈
Charlie can also turn on Shuffle Mode which will shuffle everyone's keypad so they're no longer A-Z.
Monthly Shuffle Penalties:
At the end of the month, to keep it fair for all teams:
The Rollover Jackpot is decided at the end of each quiz – a wheel is spun to decide which team will spin the Roll-Over Wheel.
What can you win?
10% – 100% of the jackpot
If the wheel lands on the team that spun the Roll-Over wheel the week before – it will be spun again so another team can have a go. If the wheel lands on a team that has disconnected from the quiz – it will also be respun.
It sounds complicated... But trust us, once you've played the first round you'll get it... Charlie will also explain these rules at the start of each round.
So who is Charlie?
Depends who you ask... Charlie started DJ'ing at the age of 19 playing across the country at major UK festivals and venues including...
He started doing the quiz at The Whittletaps in 2019 where it started with 3 teams on opening night... Building to 20+ teams a week attending.
He built...
Enough about him...
