Quiz Society
We are QuizSoc, focused on writing, running and participating in quizzes for the University and across the country.
Join us each week for a variety of team quiz formats, both casual and competitive. We write and run two types of quizzes that alternate format each week; our pub style quizzes (PQMPs) and our buzzer quizzes (CRQs). Alongside those casual quizzes, we run free to attend practice sessions for a longer-form buzzer style quiz called "quizbowl", for which we send teams to tournaments against other universities across the year. Each Monday we host watchalongs for BBC2’s quiz show lineup, as well as running annual tryouts for Southampton’s University Challenge teams. Throughout the year, we run social events and special themed quizzes as well as member run quizzes both online and in person.
Our society is open to people of all abilities, and in all stages of their study, from freshers through to post-graduates, and we have a diverse community that provides an excellent opportunity to meet others studying all sorts of degrees with all sorts of interests.
Our membership is free with a small fee per in-house quiz, or we offer a Quizzer Pass: a set rate that allows you to enter all of our quizzes for free! Keep up with our schedule on our Mailing List, Instagram, or Discord server and if you have any queries, feel free to message us on those or at quizsoc@soton.ac.uk We hope to see you at one of our events soon!
