The Language Quiz is not your usual trivia night. It’s an exploration of how language confuses, deceives, and entertains us — a quiz where even native speakers struggle, and intuition matters more than grammar rules. Ten rounds. Each one built to challenge your ear, your instinct, and your sense of humor. You’ll hear reversed recordings, fake accents, and drunken pronunciations. You’ll guess meanings, origins, and absurd linguistic facts. You’ll argue, laugh, and be very sure you’re right — until you’re not. How It Works This is a team quiz, but you don’t need to bring a team — we’ll assign everyone to a group when you arrive. Each team will include 4–6 people, a mix of language lovers, curious thinkers, and professional guessers. Each round focuses on one language and includes three main challenges: 🧩 1. The Historical Fact A question about how the language evolved, borrowed, or rebelled through time. You’ll be surprised how strange history sounds when written in words. **💬 2. The Modern Curiosity** Something from today — a meme, slang, or modern linguistic phenomenon twisted just enough so no one can be sure. Native speakers often overthink. That’s the beauty of it. **🎧 3. “What Did They Say?”** The signature round. You’ll hear something — reversed, distorted, slurred, or read with an impossible accent — and you’ll have to guess what was actually said. Even if you know the language, you won’t be certain. Some rounds include short visual or bonus tasks — decoding foreign signs, guessing which word doesn’t exist, or identifying languages from a single second of audio. **Scoring** Each question is worth points, but intuition bonuses may appear — for creative guesses or clever team debates. There’s no way to study for this quiz. There’s only the joy of trying. **What to Expect** 10 languages, 30 questions A drink to keep your confidence high Team play and group debates Some laughter, some confusion, and a lot of guessing A prize for the winning team — and eternal linguistic pride **FAQ** ***Do I need to know many languages to play?*** Absolutely not. In fact, knowing too much might make it harder. This quiz rewards intuition, not memorization. ***Can I come alone?*** Yes. Most people do. We’ll assign you to a team when you arrive — it’s part of the fun. ***What’s included in the ticket?*** Your entry and one drink (wine, beer, or soft drink). ***Will it be in English?*** Yes, the quiz will be hosted in English — but you’ll hear many other languages throughout the game. ***What do winners get?*** A symbolic prize (and bragging rights). The main reward is surviving all ten rounds with your sanity intact. ***How long does it last?*** Around 2 hours, including breaks and final scoring. ***Is it serious or just fun?*** Both. You’ll actually learn things — but in the most confusing possible way. **Join us** A night for those who love languages, laughter, and intellectual chaos. Bring your brain, your drink, and your best guess.
