How to play: The quiz can either be played as individuals or in teams. Nominate a quiz
host to ask the questions and give each team a copy of the Answer Sheet. There are three
separate rounds of questions – so you could hold a raffle in between to raise even more
money between them! Once all the questions have been asked, swap the Answer Sheets
between teams and score each other’s answers. Should there be a draw, there’s a tiebreaker
too. Give the winning team or individual a prize and donate the money to CLIC Sargent!
