THE FINAL IS HERE.

🔥 BigWins arrive as league leaders on 464 points, but with only a 39-point cushion over Muskahounds, nobody is safe.

🐶 Muskahounds have spent the entire season sniffing around the top spot and will fancy their chances of causing a major upset.

💪 Underdogs have quietly fought their way into 3rd and are still dreaming of a late charge.

📈 Marlyns have climbed the table at exactly the right time and come into the final with momentum.

🍻 Norfolk In Good, Islipians, Team With No Name, and Chickadees all have one final chance to cause absolute chaos and leave the so-called favourites wondering what happened... And new teams may be looking to ruffle a few feathers.

And here's the thing...

This isn't just another quiz night.

We've got:
🎁 Extra prizes
🎤 Special rounds
⚡ Bonus opportunities
😈 A few surprises we definitely haven't told anyone about
🏆 And enough points available to make people very nervous indeed

👀 FINAL SNEAK PEEK...

Without giving too much away...

☎️ You may find we got a call from somebody unexpectedly famous or did we? ...

🎵 Knowing every song ever recorded might not be as useful as knowing exactly which songs YOU think you know...

✨ One legendary voice may be heard in a way nobody is expecting... And you may be doing a duet with them, sort of.

🤸 And, as always, if you've been to one of our quizzes before, you'll know that things rarely end in a calm and dignified fashion... WIPEOUT!

Let's just say the finish line may be slightly more chaotic than usual.

📅 Thursday 28th May
📍 The Royal Sun
⏰ Quiz starts at 7pm

🌐 www.theroyalsun.co.uk

Whether you're fighting for the title, playing spoiler, or just coming along to witness the carnage, this is the one quiz night you don't want to miss.

One night. One champion. Endless bragging rights.

🏆 See you at the final. 🍻🔥

After two weeks of brain-teasing battles, the Quiz League table has already had a major shake-up!

Bigwins have powered their way into 1st place with 135 points after a huge night last week and are now the team everyone else is chasing 👀

Right behind them are Muskahounds in 2nd with 101 points, while Marlyns hold 3rd on 95 points. The Underdogs have jumped up the table into 4th (94 points) proving their name might not suit them for much longer!

Meanwhile Islipians — our Week 1 leaders — have slipped down to 5th, showing just how quickly things can change in this league. With Norfolk in Good climbing the table and Tottenham Heroes warming up, there’s still everything to play for.

And remember…
💰 The prize vault keeps growing
🏆 We have a winner every single week
📈 And there are loads more points still up for grabs!

Now attention turns to Week 3 — THIS THURSDAY (12th March).

As last week’s winners, Bigwins have chosen the speciality round…

🎵 Music… with a twist 😉

Expect big tunes, tricky questions, and maybe a few surprises thrown in for good measure.

If you’re already in the league, it’s time to defend your position…
If you’re not in yet, new teams can still join and start climbing the table! A couple of strong quiz nights and you could suddenly be right in the mix.

So grab your teammates, brush up on your music knowledge, and get ready for another big night.
