🏆 Community Quiz - Wednesday 26th, 7-8pm 🏆

There will be a community quiz during chat break!

For those who don't know the format: there are 3 rounds of 10 questions, with one point available for each. A total of 30 points are up for grabs, with each point awarded for the fastest correct answer.

Badges and are awarded to the winner of each round as well as the person with the highest overall score. You also get the chance to knock the reigning champion off their podium. 👑

The quiz will take place in group chat.

Here are the rounds:
  1. Choose your own topic!
  2. The Mix Trivia
  3. General Knowledge

In the usual way, we want you guys to write and host your own rounds. Writing means you come up with the questions, and hosting means asking your questions on the night. Hosts also declare the winner of each point in their round (with the mod having the final say if there's disagreement ;) ).

If you'd like to write and/or host a round, reply below! If lots of people are interested, we'll prioritise those who haven't hosted recently, so please don't take it personally if you're not chosen.

You're welcome to host solo, with someone else, or as a group - feel free to be creative!

If you're chosen to host, you'll need to send us your questions for checking by Friday 21st :)

    Best of luck for the quiz tonight everyone! I hope it goes well. Excited to see who will be the winner <3
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤
