Cheggers Plays Quiz

A pub at Heathrow Terminal 5 is one of the more unusual venues we've hosted a quiz at, but DJ Pat Sharp and TV legend Keith Chegwin asking the questions elevated it to the ever-so-slightly surreal.

That said, a terrific time was had by 50 employees of a major pharmaceuticals company, who were delighted, entertained, informed and bemused in equal measure.

Pat and Keith had never worked together before, but we have to say there was a certain chemistry there which makes us think this is one 80s double act that really should have happened!

Scaling The Quizzy Heights

The past twelve months have been exceptionally busy here at Brain Men - The Quiz Professionals. Here are some of the highlights.

Our highest profile quiz of the year is the annual fundraiser for campaigning charity English PEN, which we've been involved with in one way or another for almost a decade now. This year's celebrity host at the impressive St Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London was actor and comedian Omid Djalili, a very amusing gentleman and an utter delight to work with. There were one or two celebs in the audience too...
Earlier in the year we presented our sixth annual fundraising quiz for Working Families, the charity which helps parents, carers and employers towards a proper work-life balance. The quiz took place at the historic Vintners' Hall in the City of London...
The annual quiz at the Sadhu Vaswani spiritual centre in north west London is one of our favourites. 2015 was the fourth we've done for them, raising money for a very worthy cause...
We've not just been helping organisations to raise funds, we're also in demand for fun quizzes to entertain commercial clients as well as colleagues and staff. In the past year we've worked for the likes of Apple, Goldman Sachs, DNB Bank, Danone, The Royal College of Psychiatrists, APPI Health Group and London & Capital. Here's a wintery snap from our sixth annual quiz for Origin Asset Management early in the year at the London Wall Bar & Kitchen, next to the Museum of London...
In addition we hosted a more intimate quiz for KPMG partners at their international summer conference in Sussex...
And an entertaining quiz for the staff of the British Safety Council at their summer party...
We've also been going down a storm with schools, and have produced PTA quizzes for The Roche School and St Paul's Girls' School in south west London, and Belmont School (Mill Hill Preparatory) in north London...
And we've been putting on monthly quizzes for the Royal Over-Seas League in the heart of London, plus regular quizzes for the cricket magazine The Nightwatchman in the iconic Long Room at the Oval...
So as you can see, Brain Men truly are the quiz professionals. If you're looking for fun and entertainment at your upcoming event, just tell us about your intended audience and we'll do the rest. Our quizzes are tailor-made, original, accurate, entertaining and thoroughly researched. Unlike others we could name, we don't cull questions from quiz books or the internet.

More to the point, our quizzes are meant to fun, not an exam! We can add music rounds, film and TV rounds, picture rounds and electronic scoring, just about anything you like to sharpen your guests' competitive instincts, as well as keeping them informed and amused.
