[VIRTUAL] Quiz Connect Update

UPDATE (22 April 2020)

Hey all, if you’re wondering why the winner has not been announced yet, wonder no more! We had some scheduling hiccups with one of the teams… and now they are scheduled to have their quiz this Saturday 25th April at 8pm (UK time). But we are going to do this 10th and final quiz with a bang… it is going to be streamed live so you can follow Team Ninja Warriors as they tackle the quiz! More info to follow in a separate post!

It’s Friday… and we’re midway through Quiz Connect!! It’s been super fun doing the quiz… although somewhat stressful as the organiser as I try to navigate the many technological hurdles I keep coming across from poor internet connections to failed recordings! Eeek!!

Just wanted to let you all know that out of the ten teams, I have completed the quiz with five of them! Tomorrow is going to be madness with 3 teams booked in and the remaining two will be done on Sunday and Monday! Hopefully, that means that we will know by Monday evening who is the ultimate champion of Quiz Connect!

I’ve been quite hush-hush on who the teams are so far but now at the midway point, I can reveal to you the first five teams! And how well they have done! Drumroll please… (in order of appearance)

Note: I will tag one teammate per team and the rest will be mentioned but only in text form!

They came with their glasses and blue tops, and started the quiz with a bang… they are the fabulous Team Transatlantic, comprising of @NadyaPN , @TraciC, @LuigiZ, @Jesi and @JanVanHaver. Seasoned Local Guides, they scored an impressive 52 points! Did the uber chic nerd glasses make them even smarter than they already are?

With a roar, a woof and a pfft (panda noises?!), Team Jungle came snapping at Team Transatlantic’s heels! The wild ones included @AlejandraMaria , @OSAMA, @christophesubilia, @Giuseppe75 and @julien44. Missing from the team photo was Osama’s lion shirt! And we even had Julien trying to take his own shirt off!! Shirt or no shirt, they scored 49 points!

Dazzling in their white shirts and big smiles, Team India 1 was up next! @SalmaanN , @IshantHP_ig, @AvirajAgarwal, @FalguniP and @AmbrishVarshney came with happy spirits and strong ambition to top the quiz! But despite a valiant effort, they too scored 49 points and tied with Team Jungle!

Despite issues with Internet connection, dropped calls and empty tummies, Team Africa patiently braved through 3.5 hours to complete the quiz! With clothes that represented their countries, this determined team was made up of @Lily_Asongfac , @LeyleyS, @robAo, @ChinonsoOnukwugha and @Sagir. It was pure bliss :wink: all the way, until they made the call to play big or go home! Unfortunately, their gamble didn’t work and Round 3’s merciless rules meant that they lost big and ended up with 30 points! But look at those smiles…

To end the first half of the quiz, we have Team Bangladesh 1! These happy chaps include @ShakilAK , @Chanchol141, @ruxellan, @AsifAmirBhuyian and SaifIS, and they were spread out to as far as Estonia and Stockholm! They knew they had a score of 52 to beat and they put in their best but despite excelling in Round 2, they could only manage a final score of 41 points!

A note to all the teams above: please do not discuss the questions with others until all teams have completed the quiz! Not even a hint!

Who are the remaining teams?! Stay tuned to find out! In the meantime, I have 9 hours of videos to sieve through and edit. Somehow. I honestly have no clue how and when I can do the edits but I’ll try my best to get them done in the coming weeks!

And if you’re wondering on how to get in on the fun, unfortunately, I’m not taking on any more teams for Quiz Connect but you should seriously check out the Meet-ups page to find out what’s going on around the world!
