We know quizzes from TV game shows, quiz shows etc. But quizzes held in public places, are very popular as well. Pub quizzes are some of the most common quiz events outside the TV monitors.

It is mainly a British phenomenon which peaked in the early 90’s – it is hard to say though when the first pub quiz was actually held. Since the beginning pub quizzes has spread to other countries like USA, New Zealand, Australia and recently India, where they tend to be very popular.

When I first started writing on 1^st-Quiz; I also started thinking about what to call all those thousands of people who has interest in quiz and trivia and who loves to quiz in every meaning of the word.

At first I thought; maybe the term “quiz lovers” is the right word!? I soon rejected that term again; mostly because I thought it created a picture of two lovers walking as silhouettes against a sunset while quizzing each other all night long.
