MCV and Develop Christmas Quiz won by Datascope

After a closely fought battle and a tie break, recruitment specialists Datascope came out champions at the MCV and Develop Christmas Quiz last night.

The team beat NCSoft to first place after guessing closest to the tie-break question: how many gifts are there in the 12 days of Christmas? The answer is 224.

Teams battled it out over festive Christmas rounds including name that secret Santa, find the missing word from that Christmas song and the controversial Christmas cracker jokes. Some crackers in there, let me tell you.

There was also a competition for best Christmas jumper as judged by the ever-reliable clapometer. The winner was Matt Creative Personnel’s Matthew Piercy for his classy fat Santa jumper.

Thanks to everyone for a fantastic night, we’ll see you next time!
