With options to play with a few mates at home or host for a crowd, our quizzes are perfect for:
a night in with whānau or mates
kaupapa Māori fundraisers
staff and team bonding events
pub quizzes
Whether you’re Māori, Tangata Tiriti, Norwegian, or alien and know a little or a lot about te ao Māori - our quizzes are made to be enjoyed by EVERYONE.
How to get started

We’ll email you all the instructions and a link to the quiz. If you’re hosting for multiple groups you’ll also get a physical host pack with extra goodies.

#3
Worried you won’t know enough? We’ve built a unique hint system to help - no points deducted if you choose to use ‘em!
Also, e hoa mā, no one (including us) really cares what your score is and it OBVS doesn’t dictate how Māori you are or how good a treaty partner you are. This is just a bit of fun and an opportunity to learn more.

These packs are built for you to play with a group of friends - around 5 is best - at home or your local meetup spot.
You’ll get a link to a quiz slideshow that has all the instructions with it.
For the ultimate set up, open your slideshow on a computer and chromecast it to a tv. Otherwise you can play directly from your laptop, tablet, or phone.
You’ll also need your own pad and pen.
Step your way through the quiz round by round.
You’ll start with a question round - note down your answers on a pad and try to keep to the 60second timer!
Stuck? Tap the hint button for a bit more help.
When your question round is up, it’s time to mark. You’ll be taken through an answer round where you can record your score to tally up later.

You could play this knowing nothing - there are hints and 50/50 or multichoice rounds to help you take a stab if you don’t know the answer.
It’s more about your attitude than knowledge level. Don’t be whakamā/shy if you don’t know a lot - it just means you’ll be learning a lot! It’s just meant to be a bit of fun.
Culture experts might find it a bit easy but it will still be fun to play, particularly with a group of mixed knowledge levels. And you can enjoy seeing your team at the top of our leaderboard table at the end.
-
All sorts. Sometimes we’ll have fully themed quizzes - like for Matariki but otherwise we like to keep it pretty general.
We’ll always have a picture and music round to keep things fun and one 50/50 and multichoice round to keep things contestable.
Other rounds could be but won’t be limited to; geography, history, pop culture, current affairs, iwi, sports, kai, environment, reo Māori, pūrākau/legends…
You get this gist. It could be anything.
-
We release a new quiz every two months.
You can play your quiz whenever you like but the leaderboard will close and refresh each time our new quiz comes out.
That also means the prize draw will be done for that round.
-
Reputable books, videos, podcasts, websites, songs, and people.
We create the quiz manually and reference where the information comes from on each answer slide.
-
We’re working on it! But we highly recommend that reo Māori speakers play in Māori and anyone learning uses all the reo Māori you can!
-
Every two months we’ll have a newbie!
Don’t miss out on all the fun.
