We hope this blog will bring back some great memories of your fantastic Executive Quiz Night. Check out all the photos from the evening, and don't forget to leave us a comment at the bottom of the page with some of your highlights and favourite moments!
The guests from SHS arrived at the swish Belfast Waterfront Theatre in eager anticipation of a fun-filled and frenzied Corporate Quiz Night, Team Challenge Company style - it was Battle of the Brands ready for action.
As the outdoor summer BBQ and dinner drinks came to an end, the tensions began to build to an all-time high - the mighty Corporate Quiz Night was about to commence and the WKD caps were donned ready for battle. The group competed across 9 separate tables, in their private suite Bar one, with each team battling it out for as many points as possible in a bid to walk away winners of the much-coveted Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy. The tables quickly chose team names, and so it was the Dirty Stop Outs, Maeveis Bandits, The Muppets, Aloaf, The Priests, Bens Doggs, Lusty Lions The Yogi Bears The Bear Bears who stepped up to the challenge to compete for the top prize...Let the fun and games begin...!
The Quiz Night kicked-off with the ever-challenging Guess Who round with some teams not knowing their Britney from a hole in the ground, then into Guess What and Where - when it was obvious who never even owned a passport, Trivia Knowledge rounds followed, which saw Yogi Bears storm ahead to an early lead, closely followed by ALoaf - shame about Maeveis Bandits- think we gave you some sympathy points here to be honest ! The teams had soon settled into their stride ...well all apart for the poor Priests !
The hilarious Quiz Night action continued into Cars of the Stars, where some teams faired slightly better than others! Poor Table 6 struggled throughout, and rumour was that they were only here for the beer- well that's what Mick said as he downed another bottle of Schloer !. The tension was huge as points were won and lost on the next highly competitive Quiz Night round of Movie Quotes- what do you mean you have never even heard of Gladiator !
The hugely difficult though immensely entertaining Sports round brought the Quiz Night towards its almighty finale, with Lusty Lions storming through each and every question here , though it seems there may have been Velcro placed on the seats over at Table 9 !
With Bernard spurring his team at Table 3 on towards victory ( not to mention offering bribes ! ), the nerves flowed through the room as the teams found out who would be battling it out for the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy, and who would be hiding to avoid the embarrassment of taking home the Corporate Quiz Night Wooden Spoon.
The fast-paced and frantic final round Music Round saw the lead change no fewer than three times that would determine the final result of the Quiz Night with all teams straining to be spot on with each and every song that came up. The Muppets had a poor round here unfortunately an abysmal run of form and finished well behind the Dirty Stop outs who must live in discos !.
Picking up the Wooden Spoon for their crazy efforts were The Priests on a score so low we couldn't count it - well actually we could it was 2900 points - thanks for turning up. Only one team could come out on top. Consistency shone through, and Table 2 on a massive 5600 points pulled it out of the bag to claim a sensational victory and walk away with the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy - just look at the smiles on their faces !.
The Executive Quiz Night had again been a huge success for SHS, with all in attendance thoroughly enjoying a spectacularly hilarious evening of entertainment. A big shout out and thank-you must go to Kellie-Ann for all the effort and hard-work leading up to and on the evening itself went in to making their Corporate Quiz Night such a memorable one, SHS group were a real pleasure to work with, and we at Team Challenge Company hope to see you all and entertain you all again soon.
Crazy fun night at the excellent Belfast Waterfront Theatre with SHS and their Battle of the Brands - lots of competitive spirit blew the roof off from the start and a great way to finish off your Sunny Summer BBQ !
Thanks to The Priests for making everyone else in the room look clever and congrats to the Awesome Table 2 Winners - shame about the others, and yes Bernard you were robbed !
Sincere thanks to Kellie -Ann for all her help in putting the event together - promise I will give you the correct answers next time !
