BFS Online: The Big BFS Quiz

BFS Online is excited to announce that the Big BFS Quiz is back! Our next quiz is Thursday 14th May 2026 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 2 hours 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. And the winning team gets to choose a topic for future quizzes. Possibly a really badly made stuffed frog with magical powers*.

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