This week's news as a quizshow

Every Monday we turn a week of Guardian and Daily Mail into ten rounds for your TV. Everyone plays on the phone they have in their pocket anyway.

The party quiz plays on a TV or laptop, and the phones are the buzzers. Send yourself the link:

What's the difference between solo and party?

In this week's quiz

Four questions from the party quiz. The answers are only on the TV.

  • Bluff round

    Scientists found a way to make preschoolers choose chicken less often. What do you do to the chicken?

    Write an answer convincing enough to fool everyone else.

  • Estimate

    How many butterflies now live on a farm that was barren wheatfields two years ago?

    Closest answer takes the points.

  • Auction

    What is Captain Sir Tom Moore's old family home on the market for now, in pounds?

    Bid close, but don't go over.

  • Would you rather …?

    Have Batman pick up your street's litter, or join a nightly watch guarding a stranded shark?

    Vote, then predict how the room splits.

A week of headlines, ten rounds

We read through everything Guardian and Daily Mail published from Monday to Sunday and pick the stories people talk about at the coffee machine on Monday.

Only this week
Every story is from the seven days before, and none comes up twice.
No crises, no misery
Records, animals, oddities and celebrities instead of war and crime. The quiz should lift the mood.
Every answer checked
Numbers and answers come from the original article, not from memory.
