Community quiz competitions

Quiz competitions I have run for Nepalese community organisations in Melbourne since 2022.

I have run trivia-style quiz competitions for Nepalese community organisations in Melbourne since 2022. What started as a one-off set of slides for a children’s day became a proper bilingual format — and in 2026, the first competition run entirely using Quiz Runner, a tool I built so any organiser can run a full quiz night without touching code.

Inter School Quiz Competition — 2026

Run on 31 May 2026 at Lynbrook Family and Children’s Centre, organised by Recycle to Revive in collaboration with BnD Foundation. Seven teams from Nepali community schools across Victoria competed across three rounds: Mathematics & Science, Environment & Sustainability, and Language & Culture. Cardinia Nepali Community School won outright with 75 points; third place went to NAV Balchautari West after a six-question tiebreaker.

This was the first event run entirely with Quiz Runner — teams, categories, scoring, passes, and the tiebreaker all live in the browser, no static slides on the night.

BnD Foundation Quiz Competition — 2025

Run on 7 September 2025 at Lynbrook, in association with NASEM and with support from Victorian Youth Fest. Every question and rule was in both Nepali and English, and Nepali answers scored double (10 points vs 5) to give teams a reason to answer in the language. I made the full event kit: a branded slide deck on a custom Beamer theme, a participant handbook, and a printed rulebook.

From the 2025 deck: bilingual rules and scoring, built on a custom Beamer theme.

NAV Bal Diwas Quiz Competition — 2022

Run on 30 October 2022 for the Nepalese Association of Victoria’s children’s day (Bal Diwas). Four category rounds of eight questions each, a 30-second timer, questions that pass to the next team when missed, and no negative marking. Plain Beamer slides with no custom theme — but the rules were the ones I have kept using since.

From the 2022 deck: four rounds, a pass mechanic, no negative marking.

What came next

In 2026 I turned this format into Quiz Runner — a single HTML file with a setup wizard, so any organiser can put in their own questions and run the whole night from a laptop without touching any code. The tool is live at yobin-tim.github.io/quiz-runner.
