I wonder if we could use something like this to generate questions. There is a dedicated blockbusters section, questions don't appear to be overly taxing either.

Pter, if you're hosting, would Report on the question post work as a buzzer or are there consequences and visibility concerns there that might make that a little abusive?

Not a runner I'm afraid.

Just generate a bunch of questions and email them from your phone to your work computer

Starting up a second game in the trial thread if anyone is interested.

quickbeam · 20-07-2018 07:59PM

So, is Blockbusters viable?

Baggly · 20-07-2018 08:03PM

In it's first format, yes I think so. In it's second format? Maybe. I preferred the tougher questions and alternating turns myself.

What did you think?

quickbeam · 20-07-2018 08:07PM

Yeah, possibly too easy second time, as it was just a matter of who was fastest on the keyboard (which was never me when on the phone). I didn't mind the difficulty level first time. But I like, in theory, the buzzer system, where gamemaster thanks post to give them the go-ahead to answer. And the game board itself seemed okay. So, we've everything we need with format, and just need to fine tune the questions, I think.

Board is there for anyone who wants to use it and give it a shot.

It's on PowerPoint so you would need that or compatible to use that file.

I will host a game if anyone would be interested in playing one this week.....

SixtaWalthers · 14-04-2019 06:49PM

Would you like to share that game with us? I am playing bubble shooter nowadays, and it is very brainstorming because I am unable to win a single stage since the beginning, even I was a good player of FB bubble witch saga. Also, share any tip if you have about the shooting. Yes, I am damn interested in playing new games as well.

Banjo · 14-04-2019 11:02PM

Im hosting a live game of Pandemic in my lower intestine as we speak. If anyone wants their house pebbledashed, buy me a bag of peanuts and I've got you covered. Literally.

Kolido · 01-07-2019 09:34PM

Would anyone be interested in a table quiz type game? I have a format in mind but thought I'd gauge interest first before pressing ahead with it. It would be a team based, multiple rounds of multiple questions type of thing.

quickbeam · 01-07-2019 09:41PM

I would.

osh · 01-07-2019 10:16PM

Sure

sullivlo · 01-07-2019 10:19PM

Yes.

kitten_k · 01-07-2019 11:04PM

Yes

01-07-2019 11:05PM

Yes

01-07-2019 11:32PM

Yip

LadySkunk · 02-07-2019 12:30AM

Yes!

02-07-2019 01:09AM

Im really crap at TQs but love them so im in

Mollyb60 · 02-07-2019 09:01AM

I LOVE table quizzes so I'm all over this!

Necro · 02-07-2019 09:04AM

I think I could manage this from the comfort of my deck chair

I was thinking about how teams could communicate, would you just use the PM function on boards here Kol?

Alternatively WhatsApp or discord (although I know you hate discord Mols)

Well I can't get on discord in work is all, and I generally hate it on my phone.

Thanks for all the interest in this, maybe it could work.

So how I was thinking of running it, is holding it over multiple days rather than one night. Reason being is I probably wouldnt have the time, could take a few hours and I dont think everyone would be available.
So having a round of questions each day, posted around midday and results around 8 or 9.
6 rounds of 6 questions with one round of specaility. Also bonus points to be got.
Regarding comms between teams, I was thinking of leaving that up to the teams. As long as there is no research or googling and they confer between themselves, I dont mind what platform they use.

I will try get a signup tread opened in a few days and see how it goes. Maybe have teams of 3.

Ted_YNWA · 02-07-2019 07:29PM

TQ sounds good.

Ted_YNWA · 02-07-2019 07:46PM

I know I am a newbie around these parts, so not sure if this has been tried before or not.

How about combining a SHEEP & PEEHS, the same 7/8 questions and pick an answer for each.

Woop, this could be either great or an epic fail. Will try and have a plan for it in a day or so.

Watch this space.
