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.

The first trivia night of the year pitted some brilliant minds against ridiculous challenges - from the red carpet at the Golden Globes to supervillains in the cabinet, all the way to Becky with the good hair. Congratulations to our winners:
