Tiebreaker questions are the ultimate trivia questions. They are not designed to be easy but they are designed to crown your champion.

So how do they work? Rarely, a correct answer is given, as we said these tie break questions for quizzes are not simple. Rather the answers you will be given will be more of a ‘guesstimate’ with the closest answer being the winner.

Generally, being over means bust, but it is up to you how you prefer to decide who is closest.

–> Looking for something more challenging? Head to the Impossible Trivia Quiz

The tiebreaker quiz questions we have put together cover a wide range of topics from TV & Film, geography, and everyday general knowledge. Some of them, we admit, is completely random.

Feeling festive? Pick a Christmas tie-break question instead!

The questions below will not be in our normal format, the answer will be displayed directly under the question. Therefore, if you are involved in the tie-break pass your screen over to an impartial person to pick and read out loud.
