HOW TO PLAY QUIZZOMANIA AT REMBRANDT’S

Quizzomania at Rembrandt's is played every Tuesday starting at 9:00PM in the Bar. Teams are created and are hopefully limited to no more than six persons, however this rule is often broken. The name of the team is important and is almost always irreverent. 

The Quizzomaster starts the proceedings by reading two "shout out" questions. The winners of the shout out questions receive a prize, usually a t-shirt. Following that he will select the best team name, which will also receive a t-shirt.

Teams are given ample blank answer sheets with space for 10 questions each. The Quizzomaster then proceeds to ask two rounds of 10 questions each. Extra credit questions are sometimes included. At the end of each round the sheets are turned in, scored and the team scores are announced and the next round is started.  The Quizzomaster will always repeat a question at the end of each round when requested to do so.

After the second round the Quizzomaster starts the third or "Speed" round by handing out a sheet of 10 questions, which typically have a single theme. Sometimes these are accompanied by video or audio pertaining to the theme. Once again the scores are given after which the Quizzomaster starts the fourth and final 10 question round.

At the end of the 1st, 2nd and 4th rounds, a decision must be made as to whether to "Joker" the round. Only one round may be jokered. The act of jokering is merely to place an "x" in the joker block. This has the effect of doubling your score. Only primary questions are affected, not extra credit questions. The speed round is usually not jokered but some Quizzomasters do occasionally allow for jokering of the speed round.

At the end of the fourth round, the winners of first and second prize are announced and they are presented with their prizes. Occasionally ties will occur between both first and second or second and third. In this event a tiebreaker is given and the winner gets the prize.

First prize is a $50.00 dining gift certificate and second place prize is a $25.00 dining gift certificate. The entire game lasts between 1 1/2 and 2 hours.

Rules, as is often the case, are occasionally broken. The Quizzomaster may alter some of the rules above however the basic structure remains the same.

And of course, only at Rembrandt’s, the winning teams photos will be put on the Rembrandt’s website.
