Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions of JGT

  1. What is quizzo?
    Quizzo is a bar game that seems to have originated in Ireland and made it’s way here to Philadelphia. There are different versions of it at different bars. Here’s the way mine works:

    • There are four rounds, with ten questions in each round.
    • The first round is the easy round. All of the questions are relatively easy and are worth one point apiece.
    • The second round is the 50/50 round or speed round. Each question only has two possible answers and each question is worth two points apiece.
    • The third round is the wild card round. There is a different topic each week and each question is worth three apiece.
    • The fourth round is the impossible round. Each question is worth 5 points apiece.
    • There are weekly double questions in rounds 1, 2, and 4, so the highest possible score would be a 119.

Perfect Game in Quizzo?

The Big Unit, who undoubtedly has the best mullet in sports, threw a perfect game last night, which raises an obvious question: Has there ever been a perfect game in Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacualr history? The answer is no, though three teams have come extremely close. Easy Money, who has the all time high score of 116 (out of a possible 118), missed two questions in Rd. 1 and then never missed another question. Two teams have had perfect scores going into the final question. The Missing Heads would have had a perfect score on December 3rd at the Black Sheep, but they misspelled the city of Reykjavik by one letter. Then the Western Omelette had a perfect score through 39 questions at the Bards on Jan. 20th, but missed the question “What was the only film Jimmy Stewart ever won a Best Actor Oscar for?” The quest for Quizzo immortality continues.
