The Quiz Society exists to stimulate an interest in general knowledge and quizzing of all types. We run a number of events each year, which vary from bar quizzes and our takes on TV game shows, and buzzer quizzes like the Inter-Collegiate Quiz. The Society is available for all your quiz needs, including question writing, quiz hosting and buzzer system hire.
