The maths is challenging for lower ability but higher ability should be able to access most of it. A calculator can be allowed at your discretion There is also a picture round, a general knowledge round and a catchphrase round. All answer are given either in the powerpoint or with the worksheets. If you want to change a round for a music round that works well. I have left the music (optional) for you to pick your own.
