This week's news as a quizshow

Every Monday we pick the stories from newspapers in Germany, the UK and the US that anyone can play along to, and turn them 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

    Ian Fleming borrowed the name James Bond from a real American. Who was he?

    The truth sounds more made up than any bluff.

  • Auction

    How much does a 96-year-old TikTok star's nursing home cost per month, in dollars?

    Bid close, but don't go over.

  • Would you rather …?

    Count penguins in Antarctica for five months, or take a free trip to Finland that ends in a blind date?

    Pick a side, then guess how the room splits.

  • Estimate

    How fast did an 86-year-old grandpa drive on Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats, in miles per hour?

    Closest guess takes the points.

A week of headlines, ten rounds

We read a whole week of SPIEGEL, BILD, the Guardian, the Daily Mail, NPR and the New York Post, and keep the stories that work anywhere: no local politicians, no regional in-jokes, no knowledge you only have if you live there.

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.

The running order

  1. Open the quiz

Two quizzes, every week

Both are about the same week, with different stories.

  • Auction
  • Emoji headlines
  • List duel
  • No Offense
  • Estimate
