BFS Online is excited to announce the introduction of our newest event, BFS Online: The Big BFS Quiz. Our first quiz is Wednesday 30th April 2025 at 7pm (BST).

Quiz masters Erin and Morag, aka writing team ‘MK Hardy’, will be taking you through six rounds of questions, ranging from all things SFFH to music, movies and general knowledge. Join us to show off your mad remembering stuff skills. And perhaps dazzle us with impromptu bonus activities!

How does it work?

You’ll play in teams (max 5) via Zoom. You can organise your team in advance or we’ll assign you to one on the night. After each round, teams will be put into breakout rooms to confer and submit their answers; each team will have a scribe, whose job it is to fill out the Google form. Everyone in the BFS is on their honour, so we’re trusting you not to cheat!

How long does it last?

We estimate 90 minutes for the quiz.

Who can play?

Anyone can play. Entering the quiz is free for BFS members and £1 for non members, so bring your friends. We only ask that non members are on a team with at least one BFS member.

What’s the prize?

Pride. Kudos. Bragging rights. Maybe a fancy colour for your Discord name. Possibly a really badly made stuffed frog with magical powers*.

*Magical powers not guaranteed, much like the frog itself.

Quiz Masters

MK Hardy: Morag Hannah and Erin Hardee write under the penname MK Hardy. With backgrounds ranging from museum interpretation to web design, and from science communication to ghost tours, they are devoted to storytelling in almost every aspect of their lives and work. When they are not telling stories they can be found singing in choirs, foraging for fungi, and working on their 1880s fixer-upper. Their debut sapphic gothic horror The Needfire comes from Solaris in July 2025, with a second to follow.

Buy The Needfire and find out more about MK Hardy on their website. Or follow them on Bluesky, Twitter or Instagram.

Please note: You should receive a confirmation email when you book your ticket, plus a second email with the Zoom link to join. If you don’t, please contact Pam via email: onlineevents@britishfantasysociety.org
