Mr Lister’s Quiz Shootout is a quiz game with a twist.
It’s kinda Pointless.
Hey quiz slingers!
If you love ya quizzes and like yer lists, then welcome to my game – it’s like an old-style Western shootout but with brains for guns.
So, someone reads a question out and these questions have many correct answers. In turn order, you give one answer…
If the answer is correct, those in the white text, you stay in the round and go on to the next player then eventually back to you. Get it wrong and you’re out obviously. If you get it right and get a Golden answer, those lesser-known answers, you’re through to the Shootout.
If all the white answers have gone or all remaining players have picked a Golden answer or went out you go to the Shootout question.
Here, players write down their answers, and the closest to the correct answer wins.
So you win a point by either being the last player in on the main question or being closest on the shootout which is at the bottom of the card. The winner gets the card.
Play till you’re bored I guess and the player with the most cards is the winner.
Mr Lister’s Quiz Shootout Summary
It’s a very fun way to do a quiz. It reminds me of the TV show Pointless where you’re trying to get a correct answer, but an obscure one. I like that way of doing things as it means you benefit from your knowledge or at least a well-educated guess.
There are a lot of cards but I’m not sure how re-playable it is. I guess it depends on your memory. Also, trying to find obscure answers does slow the game a little bit.
Still, very fun quiz game. Also, Moustache Pencil.
Mr Lister’s Quiz Shootout Update June 2018
This is still an example of a game I use for a ‘good hobby quiz game’.
Taking turns listing correct answers until only one person is left is a game I enjoy. But also in these games, you keep back the lesser known answers for the later game. Here, you can use them to ‘qualify’ for the shootout round quickly and easily.
A very nice game.
