Quizzing as a Party Tip

We Germans love quizzes! It’s just incredibly fun to put your own knowledge and that of others to the test. Have you ever been to an Irish pub with friends for a pub quiz? It’s enormous fun to score points together with combined knowledge. And what creates a good mood, atmosphere and loud exchanges among the guests in the pub is also a hot tip for a small party or a games evening. Because as an introduction to a games evening or as a party game at a celebration, tricky quiz questions quickly get the guests discussing and puzzling together. That’s why we have come up with a culinary quiz that perfectly combines aperitif and quiz fun.
