The Big Quiz Night

When the Childhood Chums signed up for the village quiz league, they didn’t expect it to involve radioactive slugs, international espionage, or the philosophy of pain—let alone gunfire in the snug bar of The Three Wise Fishes.

When their star player is hospitalised by carnivorous molluscs, Rosie Dawn, bookshop owner and reluctant team coach, is forced to enlist a mysterious stranger with an uncertain past. As the quiz descends into chaos—and the Quizmaster is fatally interrupted mid-question—the team finds themselves on the run, accused of murder, and entangled in a shadowy competition with stakes far beyond bragging rights.

At the heart of it lies an eccentric billionaire, a decaying Silk Road ruin, and the whispered promise of a final question capable of answering all others. As enemies close in and the scoreboard ticks up, Rosie and her ragtag squad must navigate hidden loyalties, ancient grudges, and the terrifying prospect of losing what they value most—whether that’s truth, home, or the winning point.

The Big Quiz Night is a knife-edged comic adventure about knowledge, loyalty, and the absurd lengths we’ll go to avoid the answers we fear most.

“Wickedly clever, darkly funny, and unnervingly plausible, The Big Quiz Night asks what happens when the world’s biggest questions fall into the hands of the least qualified people to answer them.”
