Each team will attempt their general knowledge team round of three questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round.

Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying.

There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark.

Additionally there are four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged. This is an individual not a team round.

Finally the fifteen - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes.

There are also a number of slides which give interesting facts and myths about Halloween and a few scary surprises to make sure no one looses focus!
