Speed quizzing session held at The Moxy venue in York.
SpeedQuizzing is coming to The Moxy in York on Friday 21 August. If you've never come across it, it's not your usual pub quiz. Instead of pen and paper, everyone uses a keypad to answer questions, and the faster you get them right, the more points you score. It turns the whole thing into a bit of a race, so it's as much about how quickly you can recall the answer as it is about knowing it in the first place.
That's the core of it: speed. In a standard quiz, you've got a good few minutes to mull over a question, but here the clock is working against you. The faster you press the button, the higher you climb the leaderboard. It changes the dynamic of a team night, too — you'll find yourself arguing over the answer in real-time rather than scribbling it down and hoping for the best. It's a faster, louder version of the format, and it's exactly what the name suggests.

The Moxy is the venue, and it's right here in York. The session runs on Friday 21 August, so it's a good one to get a group together for. If you're used to the slower pace of a traditional quiz, this is a fair shift in gear. It's less about the long game and more about the immediate reaction, which is where the speed element comes in. It's a quiz night, but with the clock running throughout.
