The most wonderful time of the year…

 It's November, which means it’s the perfect time of year to start thinking about Christmas Quizzes (For you; I’ve been thinking about them since April). That’s right, it’s signup time once again for the annual Christmas movie quiz!

This year, the theme (chosen by last year’s winner) is:

Posters

Think you can figure out which movie goes with which clue? Sign up using the following instructions:

1.       Send an email to xmasmoviequiz@gmail.com, saying you want to join the quiz.

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE AN AUTOREPLY WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF APPLYING, CHECK THAT THE EMAIL HAS SENT SUCCESSFULLY

2.       Include a team name (you can also play as an individual, but you will still need to give a team name). Your team name must adhere to the following rules:

a.       Maximum four words long

b.       No offensive language

c.       Do not include any real names or other personal information

One word of advice - If you come up with a brilliant team name, submit it as soon as possible. I have already had to turn down one team name because it was already taken!

Can't think of a suitable name? Check out this link.

3.       You will be sent a more detailed version of the rules below

 

Every weekday in December you will be emailed a clue that corresponds to a Christmas movie. You will then have until midnight GMT that day to email your answer, and the quicker you respond with a correct answer, the more points you will score. The individual/team with the most points at the end of the quiz wins the prize of deciding next year’s theme.

Applications close at midnight GMT on 30 November, and a bonus clue will be given to anyone who signs up before then, so don’t delay!

 

I have also designed an in-person Christmas quiz (not just movies!) for you to do with your friends, designed to last about 1 ½ hours + a midway break of your decided length. If you would like a copy of this quiz, please send an email to xmasmoviequiz@gmail.com and I will send you a copy. People who know me IRL, you will only be given access to this after 15 December. You know why.

 

Now for an appeal. I am happy to write these quizzes, but as they involve me manually sending a lot of emails, it is not very efficient and it is hard to keep track of who answered first manually, so if anyone would be willing to work with me* to automate this quiz I would be very grateful.

*Unfortunately, as this is only a hobby, I will not be able to pay you. Sorry.
