The Who Am I round is another great way to start a quiz.Teams get a series of clues which gradually decrease in value - For 10 points, "I was born in 1898", For 9 points I was born in Leytonstone London" etc.
When they are sure of the identity of the mystery person, place etc. they hand in their guess.
If correct, they get the points they are going for, if wrong they get 0 marks as they are allowed only one guess.
