2025 is go
Happy New Year quizzers. 2025 is here and, no matter what it throws at you, this quiz will aim to guide you through the next 12 months as usual.
Along with being the start of a new year, we are now also into the second half of the decade. Yes, it may feel like the 2020s have been a lifetime, but we’re actually only halfway through.
In celebration (?) of this, the final round this week is all about the decade so far, with a question for each year. This will be waiting for you after a round all about Wallace and Gromit, a duo that are hopefully fresh in your mind after their Christmas Day TV triumph.
So without further ado, let’s get the first pub quiz of 2025 underway. One down, 51 to go…
