Pub Quiz Tuesdays are looking at record attendance worldwide just as soon as lockdown is lifted.ย
The parameters are constantly shifting in the Covid-19 lockdown. Those of us still stuck indoors are now becoming adjusted to the idea of big weekend plans involving nought but binging the โLatestโ section on Netflix and consuming entire loafs of banana bread.ย
However, there is one hobby that is proving increasingly popular as the weeks trickle on by and that is virtual quizzes.ย
We previously wrote a story covering the meteoric rise of video-calling apps, and how theyโve gone from a professional obligation to a recreational pastime during lockdown. People are using technology to try and retain their sense of identity. Weโre all unable to physically be at work or visit friends and family, and the likes of Facetime, Zoom, andย Housepartyย are now becoming a big part of our daily routines.ย
It has to be said that the novelty of chatting in virtual callsย wearsย a little thin after a handful ofย occasionsย though. And those of us stillย coopedย up are using theย age-oldย game of quizzing to stay entertained and engaged. Itโs all well and good gaming and watching TV, but people crave mental stimulation and this is how most are getting it.ย
If youโre looking to replicate the authentic pubย experience, youโre spoilt for choice. Pubs all across the UK are hosting weekly quiz sessions on their social media accounts, with The Pambery Tavern, Purity Brewing, and Alexandraย proving three of the most popularย destinationsย in recent weeks. Just coordinate with your pals, maybe set up a separate call and hop in together.ย
