The Forum Games Pointless/PEEHS Advent Calendar 2022

OK, today's answers are...

Question 1: name the location of one of these Christmas trees:

London, Paris (Galeries Lafayette), Vilnius (this year's!), New York

Rio de Janeiro, Moscow, Dublin, Gubbio (Italy)

Most players were from our breakaway site, so if you'd like to join in the fun chitchat around the daily questions, hear on over to

OK, day two!

It's the time of year when all the companies think you're Christmas shopping and are trying to outdo each other with their Christmas adverts

Question 2: name the company behind one of these Christmas adverts:

PMs to me by 6, reveal at 7. No google

I'll throw the youtube links up after the reveal 😉

And today's scores...

Tomorrow we'll be sticking with Christmas songs but moving away from pictures for the first time. It'll be a classic Pointless word game

For day four it's something a little different. Below are 8 unchristmassy Christmas number ones, but I've removed alternate letters. Simply tell me what one of the songs is

1962 R_T_R_ T_ S_N_E_

1976 I_ Y_U _E_V_ M_ N_W

1980 T_E_E'_ N_-O_E _U_T_ L_K_ G_A_D_A

1991 B_H_M_I_ R_A_S_D_

1995 F_T_E_ A_D _O_

2002 L_S_ Y_U_S_L_

2016 R_C_A_Y_

2020 G_A_T_

Late reveal tonight, I'm afraid folks.

Probably be about 9 or 10

A triple sheep today!

With everyone scoring between 2 and 6 though, no-one's done too badly

HeidiHeidi joins the party late so has some work to do to move up the table. I actually think there's an error in the scores of those who started late, I'll have to check that tomorrow though, sorry
