People are asked to answers a series of general knowledge questions with a science, science fiction or geeky slant. From anime and LARP - that's live action role-playing game - to identifying computer code, there is something for geeks of all shapes and sizes.

With the phenomenal success of superhero films such as the Dark Knight and Iron Man to the mainstream appeal of fantasy shows like Doctor Who and Game of Thrones, it appears that geeks have indeed inherited the earth.
