Catch KwizzBit Live at Aire Street Studios!

Words by Nicole Fazlinia

Fancy seeing you back here, and just in time for (another) blog about everyone’s favourite pub quiz company - KwizzBit. Except this time, they went live in our very own beloved Leeds. Catch our other blogs about them here *insert link*, or here *insert link*.

If you’re a fellow Loiner (fun fact, that’s what they call Leeds dwellers, we’re not talking about the general pelvic area - this is a family friendly blog, thank you very much) you’ve probably visited the very popular sports bar 

The Box, which you can find either by Greek Street, or in Headingley.  For this blogs purpose, we were working from the Greek Street one, which provided a temporary home for KwizzBit Live, headed by @thegreggles1969, otherwise known as Gregg Scott from the beloved old Quizmania, previously streaming on ITV.

For new quizzers, or the ones that forgot how it all works, the way the Leeds-based pub quiz works is via multiple rounds of general knowledge, with double points questions dotted here and there. Don’t get too ahead of yourselves though, there’s also disgustingly annoying Evil Questions, which will claw you right back down the leaderboard if you answer them incorrectly. Incase the audience forgot, the host, Gregg Scott in this case, provides frequent updates to leaderboard placements, shouting out the month’s top three pop quiz legends. An Amazon voucher was on the line here, as well as some bragging rights and the quizzer’s pride and dignity. Not bad earnings for a night at the pub if you ask us!

An interesting difference between last KwizzBit sessions and this time was that, as previously noted, it was live. The Greggles took upon the stage, underneath the neon ‘The Box’ light, and cracked jokes as he guided through questions all night, providing for an excellent freshers activity. The venue’s cheery-albeit-vintagely-NYC-esque vibe was perfect to host it, with the sports bar having all around screens, which displayed the questions for all teams to see, providing easy viewing that doesn’t require neck-straining.

Overall, it was a superb night, with lots of giggles and prizes to go around. Why not join them for their next monthly quiz, which will soon be announced. Why not treat yo-self to a lovely icebreaker? We loved working with them as much as ever, and can’t wait to do it all again!
