On Feb 13th 2012 to mark the launch of the 2012 Social Media Awards we ran a digital/social media table quiz in the Grand Social in Dublin. These are the questions and rounds that had those in attendance frantically googling, tweeting and goggling to get the answers. We encouraged the use of smartphones during the quiz so some of the tasks and questions were extra hard!! We also setup a number of twitter accounts for each table in advance of the quiz as a number of the rounds required that answers be submitted via twitter. There were also a number of spot prizes and bonus points awarded to teams for teams who carries out specific tasks on twitter etc.
