Executive Corporate Quiz with HFMA
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 HFMA arrived at the swish Hilton Reading Hotel in eager anticipation of a fun-filled and frenzied Corporate Quiz Night, Team Challenge Company style.
As the pre dinner drinks came to a finish, the tensions began to build to an all-time high - the mighty Corporate Quiz Night was about to commence. The group competed across 4 separate tables, during a sumptuous dinner in a private suite, 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 Knight Riders, the 69 Ers, No Idea and the Jelly Babies 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 Hit or Miss music round, then into Guess Who and General Knowledge rounds, which saw 69ers storm into an early lead, closely followed by Knight Rider! The teams had soon settled into their stride ...well all apart for the poor Jelly Babies!
The hilarious Quiz Night action continued into Dingbats Round, where some teams faired slightly better than others! Poor Jelly babies struggled throughout, and rumour was that they were only here for the beer. The tension was huge as points were won and lost on this highly competitive Quiz Night round!
The hugely difficult though immensely entertaining Dingbats round brought the Quiz Night towards its almighty finale, with 69'ers storming through almost each and every question, though it seems there may have been Velcro placed on the seats over at No Idea table !
With Howard spurring his team of 69ers 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 few rounds including Guess The Advert Higher & Lower, Blockbusters and Sport round saw the lead change no fewer than three times and the Grand Finale was the Music Round 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 Jelly Babies continued their unfortunately abysmal run of form and finished well behind the No Idea team, picking up the Wooden Spoon for their crazy efforts on 8100 points. Only one team could come out on top. Consistency shone through, and Knight Riders on a massive 9200 points pulled it out of the bag to claim a sensational victory and walk away with the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy.
The Executive Quiz Night had once again been a huge success for HFMA, with all in attendance thoroughly enjoying a spectacularly hilarious evening of entertainment. A big shout out and thank-you must go to Danielle and Alison for all the effort and hard-work that went in to making their Corporate Quiz Night such a memorable one, HFMA group were once again a real pleasure to work with, and we at Team Challenge Company hope to see you all and entertain you all again soon.

It was a great night of entertainment at Hilton Reading and It was a pleasure to work with Danielle and Alison on this event.
From start to finish the crowd were on high spirits and gave there all for the trophy. With the Jelly Babies complaining (we can't see ), we knew there was going to be an excuse for last position .Unlucky team you were last ,enjoy the spoon ha ha.
We hope you all had a great night and look forward to seeing you at your next event.

Top quality evening entertainment at Hilton Reading with all the staff from HFMA rising to the challenge.
Knight Rider put in an awesome performance throughout the evening to take the Team Challenge trophy with no bad rounds in sight, closely followed by the 69'ers... Jelly Babies had a few disasterous rounds, but hey at least you had fun with the worst score ever !.... until next year that is !
A big shout out to to Alison and Danielle for organising this great staff evening event and promise we wont tell anyone we gave you all the answers !
See you all again soon
