Fundraising Quiz - any advice

sonicshelly

Hi, I wondered if anyone could offer any advice on fundraising quizzes.
I would like to get one sorted but one whereby I charge £1 for the quiz, people take it away or download it and return it.
I would then mark them, it there was more than one winner, maybe draw out of a hat.
But I want to offer a % of the takings from the quiz, so the more I sell, the bigger the prize - so if I offer 20% and sell 500, then the prize £100.
But does anyone have anything that is really good that they have used previously.
Does it matter what quiz I do, as most of them, you google and find the answers that way anyway, so if it was successful, I would no doubt have 500 correctly answered quizzes????? If you get what I am saying??

Thanks

I did a good one once, with about 50 or more logos to identify. That was more difficult to google! However I got my answers back and had been marked wrong on some where I know my answer was at least as right as theirs, because the same logo was used in different situations. My answer was probably more obscure than theirs.

I don't still have the quiz, but that's my suggestion for starters!

I did one recently which gave you the first letter of each word and sometimes a number i.e : 26 L I T A = 26 letters in the alphabet or 7 S O A F P P = 7 sides on a fifty pence piece, it was good and really kept us busy for a while

similar to scopiolady's suggestion but christmas themes ie wc - white christmas sn --silent night plus loads of harder ones.Good luck.

At our school PTA we find that making them a bit easier means we get more entries, and therefore, more profit.

Do you only charge for entries handed in? Or do you charge for the blank form? That's the way I've seen it done, although your suggestion could still be valid.

For the OP, I suggest charging for the blank form, but making sure there are easy ones at the beginning, getting progressively more difficult. You could also consider a two stage quiz: easy and difficult!

You could always say that the FIRST THREE correct ones out of a bag get the prize! This is like competitions (just see the compers thread where everybody gives each other the correct answer LOL) if the organisers had to reward EVERY correct answer they would go bankrupt the first day!

similar to previous above - except we did songs and singers - with the initials. Some were easy - Q - BR (Queen Bohemian Rhapsody) but they again got harder. We sold the sheets for £1 and then there was a return address and a deadline about a month later. Around this time of year we sold a lot in the office for people to do at their christmas lunches, and it was fun. All the correct answers were put into a hat and the winning 3 drawn. So you get the money in regardless of whether people complete them or not .

Our school has just sent one out, fifty questions about christmas songs, just giving the initials of the words. Was quite fun last night, we looked through our christmas CDs, put a few on while we were doing it, made me feel quite christmassy!!

EG ....Q, JB
A, Jingle Bells

I would suggest selling the blank form, if you charge when they are handed in, if you hand them out and collect money on return, you will be printing alot and only getting a proportion back.

If you do it online too, then ofcourse you would have to take the money when you they handed it in.

Good luck with it.

Many thanks in advance
