The Big 2017 JOE Pub Quiz

Relive this ridiculous year the only way we know how: a JOE Pub Quiz

Rich Cooper

Brought to you by Knowledge is Power.

What a year, ladies and gentlemen. What a year.

You thought 2016 was going to be the darkest, most ludicrous year on record, and then the clocks chimed midnight and 2017 steamrolled into the party to Fuck. Shit. Up. We hope your 2018 is better than your 2017 – and every other year you’ve had so far, because that’s how life should work, really – but before we bow out of 2017, let’s see how much of it you can remember.

First up is In the News, followed by Sport, then Entertainment, brought to you by Knowledge is Power, the brilliant PlayLink quiz game for PS4, which uses phones as controllers – all the questions are taken from the game. In the picture round you have to find the missing word from the slightly unhinged Donald Trump tweet, then finally a test of your 2017 meme knowledge.

We hope you had the merriest of Christmases, and Happy New Year to you all. Let’s quiz.
