Enjoy the latest football-themed BRC Christmas Quiz for 2024!
Merry Christmas to you all and we hope you have enjoyed the usual busy year at Bonus Referrer Code! We are going to celebrate the festive season with our annual BRC Christmas Quiz, focusing this year on something a little different!
If you like more standard Sports Quizzes, then you can check out our Christmas Sports Quiz at Bonus Code Poker, our sister site. 100 questions to test your sports knowledge from 2024!
At BRC however, we are going to go a little more cerebral! Our BRC Christmas Quiz features 100 ‘questions’ each with a footballer as an answer.
However, each consecutive answer will be a player that the player next to him in the quiz has played in the same club or international team as.
For example, if question 1 has the answer of Zinedine Zidane, the answer to question 2 could be Roberto Carlos, who played with Zidane at Real Madrid. Indeed, they won the Champions League together. Then the answer to question 3 may be Javier Zanetti, who Carlos played with for Inter Milan and so on.
That repeats until we get to Question 50, where the answer will be a player that played at the same club side as answer 1.
In effect, creating a chain around the quiz. You get one point for naming each player, but another bonus point if you can name a club team that they both played for. The maximum score is 100!
It sounds much more complicated than it actually is!
