Hundreds of churches. Thousands of people. One Big Quiz.
On Saturday 14 November, churches, communities and groups from every corner of the country will take part in our Big Quiz Night – and we’d love you to join us.
This year, we’re taking the quiz online and will provide all the resources that will help make your quiz night a huge hit!
Last year, we raised an incredible £250,000 with 562 churches involved and more than 26,000 people taking part. So, gather your friends, family and church for a brilliant evening of poverty-fighting fun.
All you need is a laptop, tablet or smartphone, plus a good internet connection. If technology isn’t your forte, you may wish to find someone who is technologically-minded and can help you.
There are numerous video platforms that you can consider for hosting your quiz night, for example, Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Microsoft Teams, Facebook Live etc. Many of these platforms offer a free option, however, do be aware that there may be certain restrictions. It may also be helpful to check with your church to see if they already have a subscription to a particular platform. Feel free to use whichever platform works best for you and your group.
For more information about running the quiz, please check out our On the Night hints and tips.

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive an email with a link to all of the resources. We’ll provide everything you need on how to run an online quiz, including eight rounds of questions and answers for you to choose from (we recommend doing six rounds only), our case study film, a quiz night film and social media banners.
To help you with planning and preparation for the night, we’ve also included a template ‘run of the night’ complete with a sample running order you can use (if you wish) to help guide you. You don’t have to use this, but you may like to have a read of how a typical Tearfund quiz night might run.
