Bodystorm – Music Quiz

Quiz – TV series of the 90’s

In this quiz I was the quizmaster and Anne, Jill, Alexander and Dennis were contesters.
In this music quiz 12 theme songs were being played out and the contesters could write the name of music of the series they thought they heard on a piece of paper. After each song they held their answer they wrote down on the paper in the air so that everybody could see what they thought the answer was. If someone gave the right answer he/she would get a point. The main goal was to score as much points as possible and ofcourse to have as much fun as you could possibly have.

The theme songs that were being played out were of the TV series:
– Alfred Jodocus Kwak
– Pokémon
– Tom & Jerry
– Woody Woodpecker
– The Adams Family
– Johnny Bravo
– Maya de Bij
– Niels Holgerson
– Inspector Gadget
– Skippy
– Rescue Rangers
– Pink Panther

The contesters thought the fun parts about the quiz were:
+ All competitors were motivated to get the answer right.
+ If you were a competitor and you knew the song it was also fun to see if the others knew the song.
+ Nostalgia.
+ The subject was suitable for everybody who was in the game.
+ A music quiz is very alive. This was considered much more fun by some of the contesters than a normal quiz withhout music.

The things the contesters weren’t that psyched about were:
– The speed rate in answering didn’t result in extra points, what was disappointing for the people who knew the answers very quickly.
– It’s only fun to play this game once.
