Trivia at Moderation has something for everyone, with themes and questions on as wide a range of topics as I can manage.

We start with the signature stream of consciousness round - ten questions of increasing difficulty, each linked to the one before and after it by some connection you have to figure out.

After one theme round and a picture round, you spin the wheel to decide on the themes of the second half! See some recent questions below to get an idea.

Don’t like the questions? This is a democracy - I’ll take any suggestion and make a round out of it, if you promise to come back.

Play in teams of up to six, or come on your own and join the bar team, where there’s always a spot for you on the roster.

it was a different kind of trivia this week with a load of new faces, two young trivia heroes in training, and an experimental format! But the joy of celebrating little pieces of weird truth was the same as ever, from minor Star Wars characters to Real Housewives to New Mexico pepper cultivars, our minds roamed far. Congratulations to our winners
