Call My Bluff Trivia Quiz


Back in the days of steam T.V., there was a quiz called "Call My Bluff". Two teams would take it in turns to describe an obscure word, which the opposite team would have to identify. Here is my tribute to that show (maybe the 1st of many).

A multiple-choice quiz by awkins. Estimated time: 8 mins.
