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.

Seriously, which is which? Because your humble correspondent is thousands of miles from Australia and can’t keep things straight while squinting so far over the horizon. Thank you to the noble fact checkers who know that wombats are related to koalas, and wallabies are related to kangaroos, but most of all that all marsupials are super weird. Cheers to everyone who joined this week’s fun, and special congratulations to our winners
