Introducing the new Quiz Book: "Sechs & Sieben z‘samme"
Welcome! I'm Ciaran, aka Quizmaster Moe. I'm proud to announce the release of my first book, Sechs & Sieben z'samme.
This is THE BOOK to the Monday Night Pub Quiz at O'Kellys Irish Pub in Freiburg im Breisgau, the quiz that I have regularly hosted since 2009.
This general knowledge quiz book has questions that are inspired from the news, from reading / watching / studying and from daily life.
Literally anything can (and has) become a pub quiz question. How many can you answer?
Since 2009 I regularly host the Monday Night Pub Quiz at "O’Kellys Irish Pub" in Freiburg im Breisgau.
When I started, I was extremely nervous and it took a long time to find my own style of quiz and to get into the groove of always thinking about potential questions.
I try and write questions that a player should be able to solve if they don’t already know the answer. Finding that balance of too hard or too easy is still extremely difficult.
When I first thought about writing a quiz book myself, I wanted to do it a little differentely from others. So here, you will find a quiz round on one page and when you turn it over, voilà! you have the answers right in front of you.
More information
Sechs & Sieben z’samme is a catchphrase that I developed during my time hosting the Pub Quiz because of how and where I learned German.
Usually, the questions 6 and 7 are two parts of one question or at least connected with each other.
Everyone who has played my quiz has heard this phrase many times, so it was only natural to give the book this title.
I would like to thank Sarah and Kieran for supporting my Quiz since day one and everyone who has worked on those nights.
Thanks go out to Aphrodite, Christoph and Dave for getting this book on it’s way to being published.
Thank you to Hannah for so many question inspirations, the countless hours turning the quiz questions of 3 years into a printable version and for kicking my ass to get it done.
And thanks finally to everyone who has played the Quiz over the years.
It means the world to me.

Each Quiz Round contains 10 questions, written in German and in English. Usually question number 10 is a music question. Often I’ll give you some song lyrics and the players get 1 point for the artist and 1 point for the title.
Distributed randomly throughout this book you will find a few Theme-Rounds. Some of those have a title to give you a clue what the round is about. Others are Secret Theme-Rounds and you will have to figure out yourself, what connects the questions or the answers.
The Sudoku-Rounds are special: the answers to the questions 1-9 in those rounds, are the numbers 1-9. As in Sudoku, each number only appears once.
This 1st edition contains Freiburg related questions, as a tribute to my adopted hometown.
There will be more German and more English / International editions later. All answers are correct as of November 2023
