 Getting started
Choose a date to hold your quiz
(tip: Thursdays are a popular day
to hold a quiz!)
Allow 1-2 hours for the duration of the
quiz, depending on how many rounds you
want to do.
Plan your virtual Mighty Christmas Quiz
1. Set up a JustGiving* page
Make sure to create your own page for your
quiz mates to donate to.
2. Share the link to your
fundraising page with your
quiz mates.
This will be where people pay in their
participant money.
3. Familarise yourself with the
questions you'll be asking - plus
we've created a PDF of these
Christmas rounds so you can
share the questions on-screen
during your quiz!
Download it here.
Plus we have non-Christmas question
rounds, a ‘heads or tails’ physical round, a
fashion round, and much more on our
website!

Decide what platform you’d
like to use to host your quiz
Houseparty , Facebook Messenger
and Google Hangouts are all free and
easy to use for your quiz, but you can
use whichever platform you’re most
comfortable with.
When you’ve decided on the platform,
make sure you send an invite to your
friends, family or work colleagues with
the time, date, and information about the
platform so they can download the app in
time.
4. Make sure everyone is
prepped beforehand.
Depending on which rounds you plan on
doing, make sure people come prepared.
People may need to get pen, paper,
and items for the fashion round ready
beforehand.
5. Let people know how much it
is to enter your quiz.
You can decide the entry amount and
people can pay on your JustGiving page.
We suggest asking for a £5 donation to
take part.
6. And lastly…. go and have
fun! Make sure you post
about your quiz and tag us

You’re making a
mighty difference
Alzheimer’s is the leading cause of dementia, and it’s a disease that no-one has yet
survived. In fact, it is the only one of the world’s top ten diseases that has no
treatment to slow or cure it.

But Alzheimer’s Research UK is committed to changing that. Because Alzheimer’s is a

physical disease, and diseases can be treated.
Our scientists are already making life-changing discoveries and through medical
research, we will prevent, treat and, one day, cure the diseases that cause dementia.

With your support and your Mighty Christmas Quiz, there’s no limit to what we will
achieve.

Thank you.
