The inaugural Gamesblog pub quiz rocked the Caroline of Brunswick pub in Brighton last night, leaving several people with tender heads for the start of Develop. Keith and I hosted the event, treating a whopping 14 teams - that's at least 84 people - to two general knowledge rounds, a music and sounds round, a drawing round and a plasticine modelling round. Topical yet off-topic, it was a resounding success. And don't just take my word for it - check out the plethora pics from the evening - including all the entries in the 'Gordon Brown Strikes Back' screenshot round and all the entries in the Team GB 2012 Olympic hopefuls modelling round. If you were there, throw your pics into the gamesblog flickr pool and share!
Cheers to all the teams who came, including the 4 gamesblog reader teams, and the crews from Black Rock, Linden Lab, NCSoft, Zoe Mode, Relentless, Microsoft/Rare/Pixel-Lab, Gamesindustry.biz, Pocket Gamer and Eurogamer. Big props to Gamesindustry/Eurogamer, our champions, who went away with £75 in prize money and copies of the Guinness Book of Worlds Records (Gamers Edition).
And three massive cheers to ElQuesoDiablo who won the question competition. Only 1 team answered his question right: Pauline is the name of the woman Donkey Kong kidnaps. Congrats! You win a book as well. Thanks to everyone who submitted questions. We have plenty now for the next quiz which will be held in Nottingham during GameCity.
