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.

All month long, TQF celebrates Pride with an organic sprinkling of cryptically queer questions and answers, starting last night with gay romances and prize-winning lesbian authors - what could possibly be next? Congratulations to everyone for making Tuesday so wonderful, and especially to our winners

The next night of factual mayhem will next Tuesday, June 16th, which is also Bloomsday, and there will be a world cup going on, and of course the heart of pride. Keep it tricky out there, friends.
