Online Quiz Night (May 24th 2022)

The Auckland Goethe Society hosted our annual German Quiz Night—for the first time ever on Zoom! After being unable to host the quiz night in 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions, we looked forward to reinstating the tradition. Despite technical difficulties with breakout rooms, the night was a fun test of German trivia knowledge and teamwork. There was an excellent turnout with 55 attendees and 14 teams, with the winners set to receive goodies from the Goethe-Institut. We also enjoyed listening to the fantastic song requests for German music while marking was in process, such as “99 Luftballons” von Nena, “Mensch” von Herbert Grönemeyer, “Rockstars” von Malik Harris (German’s Eurovision entry this year), and “Eisgekühlte Coca-Cola (Tchio Tchio)” (a catchy children’s song). Bis zum nächsten Jahr! We hope to host the next annual quiz night in person for 2023.
