CaptainGeoff

Story behind the name

I (Phill) first quizzed solo at the Wealden as M.S.G (Monosoloandgotnomates), and quickly found my answers were neither fast nor true — so I made a new name based on a film I've never seen. Later I invited my friend Geoff, to see if it's better playing with two… I can confirm it is!

Playing style

Specialist subjects: Music
Always trips them up: Music
Their edge: Audio 3, and Multitap if we know the answer. For the rest — I know all the letters of the alphabet and I'm not afraid to use them!

Highlights & rivalries

Proudest moment: Winning £70 solo at the busiest Wealden quiz and covering my bar tab! (And the Rob Clark Award for Most Money Spent on Taxis 2025.)
Rival team: Any that started picture wars against us — Home Aloners, What's On His Own, QuizBenders.

Personal touch

Round they'd add to every quiz: Monty Python
Pre-quiz ritual: Cigarettes, Guinness, blood sacrifice
Guilty pleasure: SpeedQuizzing
Closest quiz to home: Wealden — it's just down the road from me
Dream buzzer sound: “Frontier Psychiatrist” by The Avalanches — because this boy needs therapy!

CaptainKate

StrategyMixed approach

Story behind the name

We were at the quiz and someone asked where our children were. We said, jokingly, that they were home alone — and the name just stuck.

Playing style

Specialist subjects: Disney
Always trips them up: Sport
Their edge: We have a guru for every genre, so the minute the question becomes clear we slide the tablet over to the appropriate team member… unless I'm playing solo, in which case I'm screwed.

Highlights & rivalries

Proudest moment: Playing against one of the other Home Aloners solo at the Wealden and getting a “name the song” round. They thought it was “sitting in the back row of the movies”… I had smugly hit “K” and was the only team to have got it right.
Rival team: 2 Slow 2 Spurious, Chodney Spodoff, Team Name Pending, Tipp Two and Pubic Cubes. It's also always a bit depressing when you rock up and Juggernaut BAYBAY is sitting down — you know you're done for before the quiz has even started!
Closest match: I don't think we've had one!
Memorable moments: I think we had a motorway question once and I put 69 in — it turned out to be correct!

Personal touch

Round they'd add to every quiz: Disney
Guilty pleasure: Chocolate brownie

CaptainWhichever voice in his head is loudest

StrategyGo for every question

Playing style

Specialist subjects: Jack of all trades, master of none. Except for…
Always trips him up: Food and Drink
His edge: I know lots of random stuff quickly.

Highlights & rivalries

Proudest moment: Too many to single out with The Quiz People, but overall in my quiz “career” winning £24,000 on Eggheads in 2022, reaching the semi-final on Brain Of Britain in 2023 and appearing on Only Connect in 2026 are pinnacles.

How they came together

Three of us work together, and Tyler and Lewis became besties — we all went to Legoland together. We made a groupchat where Lewis misspelt Legoland and put “Lego lads” instead, and that's where our name was born. Natala and Paishe became besties at work.

CaptainThat would be myself

StrategyGo for every question

Story behind the name

I started SpeedQuizzing with Not So Great Expectations, and then split off in a splinter cell of one, as quizzing one night a week just wasn't enough! I started quizzing solo as Tequilla Mockingbird until I realised how original it was — with at least three other teams using the same name. My team name is the result of my love for 90s alternative BritPop and a deep, deep Google search, and has been the name since 2023.

Playing style

Specialist subjects: Music, film and history
Always trips them up: Wordsnake!
Their edge: There's great coherence throughout the team and rarely a crossed word. As soon as the question makes sense, go in!

Highlights & rivalries

Proudest moment: First solo win at the Tiger Moth, and a solid performance in the solo quiz a few years ago, comprehensively beating the highest-placed female quizzer.
Rival team: The only rival is the quiz itself…
Closest match: I've won on two tie breakers and lost the same amount — but too many quizzes have passed to remember them all!
Memorable moments: Spending the best part of a year as part of the strongest pairing the quiz people have witnessed (Sorted For E's and Whiskey!), preparing for the Rob Clark Memorial Quiz — then hitting the shots pretty hard before the quiz started!

Personal touch

Round they'd add to every quiz: A few more Lord of the Rings questions and a few on Terry Pratchett — in place of Wordsnake!

Guilty pleasure: Beer — but I'm never guilty!

Story behind the name

Got soaked walking into the Pippin one evening after listening to a story about a powerful woman standing up to Donald Trump.

Playing style

Specialist subjects: Old radio comedy
Always trips them up: Music after 1980
Their edge: Logic and patience — narrow down the options, and sometimes an extra second is the difference between right and wrong. In the later rounds, two fastest fingers are needed to make up for one wrong answer.

Highlights & rivalries

Proudest moment: At my first quiz, I recognised a naked Tickle-me-Elmo. Will never say how…
Rival team: I love you all
Closest match: Tiebreak at Pier 5
Memorable moments: The 2023 Rob Clark Memorial event. Played the quiz blindfolded — double dare destroyed me! Raised some money for a most deserving charity in my small way.
