Pub quiz at The Dorus

Recently the annual pub quiz took place in our home base De Dorus. From this (literally) colorful business building in Leiden, Zooma works with 22 different companies, remote workers and creatives on a variety of projects and products.

Every year De Dorus hosts all kinds of events, such as an Open House Festival, Popronde, various get-togethers and barbecues. All these events contribute to making De Dorus more than just a shared brick building but step by step a real community of creative professionals.

Zooma was strongly represented with two teams: ZoomA and ZoomB :-). The quiz, organized by our CEO Tim and his wife Anke, consisted of a variety of rounds; from general knowledge and music intros to movie scenes, technology questions (where Zooma of course had a slight advantage ;-)) and even a live music round.

In that last live music round, Tim played mashups on his guitar: he combined the melody of one song with the lyrics of another. The challenge? Guessing both songs correctly ... and that turned out to be harder than you think!

Fun fact: before Zooma became a tech company, it was actually ... a rock band. During their college days, two of the Zooma founders, Bas and Tim, played together in the band Zooma. The band Zooma did not become a great success, but the company Zooma did!

After ten challenging rounds, team 'De Buren' eventually won:
