New Tate Britain Quiz Trail

Tate Britain have brought out a new iPhone Quiz Trail app that has a choice of quizzes to lead you around a themed trail of artworks in the gallery. You choose your level of difficulty and there are multiple choice answers.

I visited for a late night opening (first Friday of the month) and tried one of the trials. It's easy to use but we did find we were reading the captions for the answers more than studying the artworks, and our competitive nature meant we didn't look at any other artworks until we had finished a quiz. But the fact you can use the quiz trail from home too - and offline - means it can be a great introduction to the artworks on display and will hopefully inspire you to visit soon. Plus, if you get the questions right you get a discount code to use at the Tate online shop which is rather fantastic indeed.
