The Quiz Team

What The Quiz Team does

The Quiz Team is a London-based, family-run quiz events and content company founded in 2007 by actor Jez Worsnip and co-directed with his wife Charlene. It operates through three revenue channels: (1) hosted quiz events delivered in-person, virtually via Zoom, or in hybrid format for corporate clients, office parties, team-building events, and charity fundraisers; (2) recurring weekly pub quiz hosting under channel partnerships with UK pub operators including the Young's Pubs network and multiple independent London venues; and (3) an e-commerce shop selling downloadable themed quiz packs (£7.99 per individual quiz, £15.99 for four-pack bundles, £42.99 for a host-your-own starter pack) with digital delivery via email. The core technical offering is human-authored, well-researched quiz content combined with live hosting by a roster of trained actors, supported by light digital infrastructure (a WordPress-based website with WooCommerce shop and Zoom-based virtual delivery). Named enterprise customers span financial services (JPMorgan, PwC, Raiffeisen Bank International, Nordic Capital, Deloitte), technology (Microsoft UK, HashiCorp), consumer (Tinder), legal (Shoosmiths, Leadenhall Law Group), hospitality (The Restaurant Group, Asahi UK), and public sector (Greater London Authority, City of Wolverhampton Council). The company is wholly bootstrapped by its founders with no disclosed external funding and is expanding internationally through a 2026 partnership in Kumamoto City, Japan for a gamified smartphone-based city exploration event.

Direct peers

• Maverick Quiz Co: UK company hosting corporate and charity quiz events with a focus on professional presentation and tailored content; comparable service offering and target segments.
• The Big Quiz Company: UK company specializing in corporate quiz events, team-building quizzes, and charity quiz nights — directly comparable in target customers (UK corporates) and product format.
• QuizQuizQuiz: UK-based pub quiz and corporate event company offering hosted quiz nights in pubs and bespoke corporate quiz events. Most direct head-to-head competitor in the UK hosted-quiz market.
• SpeedQuizzing: UK interactive pub quiz platform/app that enables pub quiz hosts to run tech-enabled quiz nights. Comparable in the UK pub quiz channel but competes on technology rather than actor hosting.
• Wildgoose Events: UK corporate team-building provider running in-person and virtual quiz and challenge events for enterprise clients; comparable customer base and live/virtual event delivery model.

Others

• Team Building Hub: UK-based marketplace/aggregator listing corporate team-building experiences including virtual quizzes; an indirect channel/competitor for corporate entertainment spend rather than a direct event-delivery peer.

Broad incumbents

• Quizlet: Large-scale online study and quiz platform with content authoring and live quiz features; overlaps with The Quiz Team's content-authoring and quiz-delivery capabilities but serves a learning/education rather than entertainment use case.
• Kahoot!: Norway-based, publicly listed interactive quiz/learning platform with broad enterprise and education reach. Competes in the same general 'quiz-based engagement' category but as a self-serve SaaS platform rather than a hosted service.
