BRIEF HISTORY of the WHITE ROOM QUIZ.

After various quizzes in Off Topic, the White Room Quiz first appeared on 1 August 2019.

The name White Room Quiz was intended as a contrast to BBC TV`s Mastermind, where contestants are under a spotlight with a daunting atmosphere, and in the infamous black chair.

Instead the White Room Quiz would be bright and above all - fun.

Since the White Room Quiz began, the White Room Quizzers have faced a wide variety of questions - some "easier", some which quiz books rated as "difficult", and those tricky "head-scratcher" questions - and is about to reach its 2000th question.

It has been, and continues to be, an honour and a privilege for me to be WRQ Quizmaster - to search out the questions and to run the White Room Quiz which will continue for as long as members want it and enjoy it.

This milestone cannot pass without mentioning @Cleoriff who arranged and ran two White Room Quizzes a while ago so I could take part. 

I am grateful to each and every one of those, past and present, who have tackled some, if not all, of the White Room Quizzes. And thanks to those who are among the hundred or more who view each WRQ quiz.

I hope our present regular quizzers 

@Cleoriff  @pgn @jonsie @MI5 @gmarkj @TallTrees @BobM @Spenny @J9el @lewys-gp @RafaC @adec 

and members of the Community who took part in past WRQ - inc O2 Community Manager @Martin-O2 and 

former O2 Community Managers @Marjo  @TheresaV  @LukasB [maybe someone could let them know this WRQ milestone is happening and ask them to join in] 

and any member who has never taken part and any new members will come and take part in next  Monday`s 

White Room Quiz on Mon 27 June  2021 and face the 2000th White Room Quiz question and celebrate this popular quiz.

Thank you for making WRQ fun
