Quizzers will be put to the test through rounds of popular questions, all taken from previous episodes of the show.
Anne Hegerty – known as The Governess, Mark Labbett – The Beast, and Jenny Ryan – The Vixen, will be mingling with the quiz teams, offering a helping hand and tips to give everyone a shot at victory.
But there’s a catch – one of these Chasers will join just one team, made up of previous competition winners, and do their best to outfox the other Chasers and lead them to victory.
The free, adults-only, quiz evening, will be held on Thursday 8th August at the Feel Good Club in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
Sara Jolly, spokesperson for Gala Bingo, which is hosting the event to celebrate its long-running sponsorship of the ITV show, said: “We’re thrilled to be offering a money-can’t-buy experience to quizzers this summer at our Ultimate Quiz Night.
“The one night only event allows fans of the game show to see if they have what it really takes to beat a Chaser.”
Brainiacs in the room – in quiz teams of three to six – will be asked a range of questions from general knowledge through to history, as well as a bonus bingo call-themed picture round, while enjoying complimentary mocktails and sharing boards.
Any teams able to beat The Chaser will receive memorabilia to take home to prove it, with an exclusive ‘I Beat The Chaser’ badge.
Sara Jolly added: “Anyone wanting to go head-to-head with one of these legends, should assemble their squad and secure themselves a spot.
“May the best team win!”
