HOW TO PLAY
Welcome to The Official Bullseye Quiz Book!
Ready to put your wits against Bully, and rack up some Super Smashing Great prizes?
The Official Bullseye Quiz Book can be played purely as a trivia game, with everything you need to show off your smarts against your friends and family. However, if you’ve got some throwers as well as knowers in the group, why not set up a dartsboard with your mates, and incorporate your own darts games in between the quiz rounds?
As per the original TV show, you will progress through three different dartboards, answering questions to win cash and prizes (although this time it’s imaginary, sadly). There are four question difficulty levels: EASY , MEDIUM , HARD and MARKSMAN . The answers for the questions in every round can be found at the back of the book
ROUND ONE is Bully’s Category Board. You’ll need to answer any 50 questions you like from the ten categories. Each correctly answered question earns you an imaginary cash value as follows:
ROUND TWO is Bully’s Prize Board. How much cash you won in Round One will determine which of the four Prize Boards you can access in Round Two. There are nine prizes on each
board in Round Two. You’ll need to answer 10 questions and answer eight or more of them correctly to win the prize. Except for Bully’s Special Prize, of course, which cranks the difficulty level up a notch – you need to answer all 10 questions correctly!
After that, it’s time for ROUND THREE . Will you gamble everything you’ve won so far for a chance to win one of Bully’s Mystery Star Prizes? You’ll need to answer 30 questions – three questions from each of the ten categories. If you get 25/30 right, you’ve won the prize. What will it be? A three-piece suite? A speedboat?!
With over 3,000 questions and lots of prizes to choose from, The Official Bullseye Quiz Book can be played again and again for endless fun. Now sharpen your wits and your aim, and remember . . . You can’t beat a bit of Bully!

BULLY’S CATEGORY BOARD
The subjects that are lit are the ones you can hit!
HOW IT WORKS
Choose any 50 questions in the book to answer. The harder the questions you try, the more cash you win, but remember, if you don’t get the question right, that’s still one of your 50 questions used up.
The categories on the board are:
BOOKS & CULTURE * BRITAIN * ENTERTAINMENT
FOOD & DRINK * HISTORY * MUSIC * NATURE
PLACES * SPORT * TECHNOLOGY
There are FOUR DIFFICULTY LEVELS , based on the four cash values from the original Round One Category Board:
1 EASY (£30)
2 MEDIUM (£50)
3 HARD (£100)
4 MARKSMAN (£200)
Each correctly answered question earns you the imaginary cash value for that difficulty level.
Keep a tally of how many questions you’ve answered and how much you’ve won, because it will determine which of the four Prize Boards you can access in Round Two!
