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!

Cofunds Quiz In Witham

Three pics from another recent quiz, this time for Cofunds in Witham. Team building was the name of the game for this after-work entertainment. Appropriately enough, all the teams built up pretty impressive scores! Marcus Berkmann was our Brain Men Quizmaster on this occasion.

Walking With The Wounded Quiz 2014

Some snaps from the recent Walking With The Wounded Quiz, which we hosted at Wandsworth Town Hall. A substantial sum was raised for a very worthy cause. Chris Pollikett was our Brain Men Quizmaster for the evening.

English PEN Quiz 2013

Here are a few snaps from last week's English PEN quiz, held at RIBA and hosted by Clive Anderson. We Brain Men get involved by writing the quiz and twiddling the technical knobs, ensuring that 250 writers, authors, literary agents and journos have a splendid evening, and empty their wallets for a good cause.

This year's winners were The Telegraph, scoring a whopping 60 out of 70, with The Guardian/Observer and The Literary Review both narrowly pipped to second place on 59.

Quiz News

A lot's been happening since we last updated these pages!

First off, here at Brain Men we often assist charities with their fundraising events. So we're proud to be associated with Help for Heroes and their upcoming Big Hero Quiz. You can find out more by clicking here, although please note, the questions we wrote for them are quite a bit harder than the examples they've used on their website!

And earlier this month we held a quiz at Goldsmiths College in London on behalf of the Association of University Engineers. Our Quizmaster was Chris Pollikett, who fired off six rounds of ten questions over the course a couple of hours. Appropriately enough, this year's winners were called Last Year's Winners! Here are a couple of snaps:

Symantec/Norton Quiz Tests Journalists' 'Wetware'

Six teams of technology journalists joined battle at The Old Explorer off London's Oxford Street last week in our latest bespoke Brain Men quiz.

The quiz marked the launch of the 18th Norton/Symantec Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR). Fittingly enough, the quiz was won by a team calling itself The Brian People. They pipped Brewster's Minions and The Pink Paperclips into second and third respectively!

First Annual SVC Quiz

We thought we'd share a few snaps with you from one of the last quizzes we did before Christmas - for the Sadhu Vaswani Centre in Cricklewood. 15 teams enjoyed an evening of quizzing frivolity in aid of raising funds for the SVC, with Quizee Rascals finishing in poll position by a massive margin of 17 points.

Our thanks to Deepu and the rest of the SVC committee for making us feel so welcome. Apparently bookings are already coming in for the 2013 quiz!

Apollo's Night Takes Off With Brain Men Quiz

Our intrepid Brain Men Quizmaster Marcus Berkmann charmed the crowd with his confounding quizology during the Apollo Global Management Summer 2012 bash recently at the excellent Living Room, W1, just off Regent Street.



The competition was stiff, with only 14 points separating top placers The Ben Johnson Running Club, who scored 82/100, from the wooden spooners at the bottom after five rounds of tough quizzing.

Origin Charity Challenge Quiz 2012

As promised, here are a few snaps from our dinner quiz for Origin Asset Management last night. It's fair to say that a good time was had by all, which is what we aim for when we put on one of these professional quizzes.

Brain Man Marcus Berkmann was our quizmaster for the evening. ThinkFolio carried off this year's trophy, and a cheque for their chosen charity - Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research.

Thanks to the excellent London Wall Bar & Kitchen for the superb food and wine. And thanks to Origin Asset Management for being such lovely clients!

Kelkoo Coo Over Our Journalists' Quiz

We've had some great feedback from Kelkoo, the price comparison people, following the dinner quiz we designed for national journalists in London on Thursday. It's the second year Kelkoo have hired us for this key event in their PR calendar.

Kelkoo spokeswoman Laura McDonnell writes: 'Just a note to let you know that last night’s quiz was another roaring success! All went smoothly, and the host Iain Lee got to grips really well with the questions. Everyone was happy with the level too – challenging enough for the ones who took it more seriously, but with enough in there to keep the more laid back teams happy, and to keep everyone’s interest.'

Winners were the Telegraph... they've got a table at Monday's Colman Getty PEN Quiz too, so they're clearly Brain Men fans!
