Who is Scotland’s Smartest Studio? Hubworld Announces Three-City ‘Murder Mystery HubQuiz’

Get your alibis ready. Our friends at Hubworld have announced a new, ambitious HubQuiz, and this time it’s a cross-country competition to find Scotland’s cleverest developers.

Taking place in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dundee on consecutive nights, the “part pub-quiz and part game-show” event invites all game industry workers to gather their teams and battle for prizes, a trophy, and the ultimate bragging rights.

The theme for this HubQuiz tour is ‘Murder Mystery Night!’ Expect questions, challenges, and… maybe a ‘murder’ mystery to solve. The night will be dedicated to all things noir, detectives, crime, and the classic whodunnit.

A Cross-Country Competition

The quiz is a touring event, with attendees asked to only attend one of the three dates. The locations and dates are:

• Edinburgh: Tuesday, November 26th @ The Voodoo Rooms (Speakeasy)
• Glasgow: Wednesday, November 27th @ Revolution (Mitchell St)
• Dundee: Thursday, November 28th @ Balcony Lounge (Ward Rd)

Teams will be competing for a coveted Studio Trophy, game keys, goodie bags, and a “collection of chaotic prizes.”

How to Join the HubQuiz Fun

On all three nights, doors will open at 6:00 PM, with the quiz scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM.

The maximum team size is six people. If you’re attending solo or as part of a smaller group, you can mix and form teams on the day or connect with other attendees beforehand via the Hubworld Discord channels.

After the quiz champion is crowned, the venue is open for the rest of the night for networking and catching up with colleagues from across the industry.

Hubworld’s HubQuiz: A Tri-City Test of Gaming Knowledge

Get ready to flex your trivia muscles! Hubworld is bringing its popular videogames pub quiz to three cities for HubQuiz Spring 2025 – a three day celebration of gaming knowledge. This isn’t your average pub quiz! Expect a creative combo of trivia and game show elements, creating a unique, entertaining and fun night out.

Hubworld is also calling on local artists to participate in an ‘Artist Spotlight’ initiative, a recurring feature of the Dundee Games Meetup. This is a bi-monthly event that aims to showcase and celebrate artists within the Dundee games community by providing them with a paid opportunity to display their work (more on this below…)

HubQuiz Spring 2025

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or industry newcomer, everyone from across the games ecosystem is welcome to join the fun and battle to prove their team is the brainiest in Scotland.

Assemble your crack team of up to six and prepare for battle! Doors open at 6:00 PM, with the HubQuiz kicking off at 7:00 PM.

And what’s a quiz without prizes? Hubworld is bringing a haul of goodies, including a coveted Studio Trophy, game keys, goodie bags, and their own special brand of ‘chaotic prizes’. With more to come…

Here’s the all-important itinerary for the HubQuiz tour:

• Glasgow (30/04): Revolution, 84 Mitchell St, Glasgow G1 3NA
• Edinburgh (01/05): Voodoo Rooms: Speakeasy, 19a W Register St, Edinburgh EH2 2AA
• Dundee (02/05): TopDog Sports Bar, 142 W Marketgait, Dundee DD1 1NJ

Important Notes for :

• While tickets are tied to a specific city, Hubworld assures attendees that if your ticket accidentally shows the wrong city, you’re still good to go, as long as it’s valid for that night.
• As this is a touring quiz, attendees are kindly asked to pick one city to attend.
• Tickets will be available on the door, but with previous HubQuizzes selling out, grabbing tickets in advance is highly recommended.
• Flying solo or have a small group? No worries! There will be opportunities to form “open mix” teams on the night, or you can connect with potential teammates beforehand in the Game Dev Discord servers for:
  • Dundee
  • Glasgow
  • Edinburgh

Beyond the quiz itself, the venues will be open for attendees to catch up and connect after the final scores are tallied. It’s a great chance to network and socialise with fellow games industry professionals.

Hubworld Artist Spotlight

The initiative is open to games artists across Dundee and the surrounding areas, regardless of style, medium, or skill level. Selected artists will be paid £150 for their work, and their art will be featured on the event’s page, newsletter, and website. Artists retain complete ownership of their creations.

Priority will be given to applicants who are active in the Dundee games community and have previously attended events. Further details about the project will be provided during the selection process.

Interested artists can register their interest through the application form available here.
