How well do you remember this year? Answer these 2023 quiz questions to find out

Well, it's official, 2023 is almost at an end, and what a year it's been. From the release of Prince Harry's memoir, to the arrival of the Barbie movie, to the Roman Empire taking over TikTok, it's truly been an eventful year.

While we don't want to remember all of this year (we're still not over the many celebrity breakups), we're still very keen to prove our superior knowledge of everything that's happened in the last 12 months.

And if you're anything like us then a quiz of the year is always a regular feature at family Christmas parties or New Year's Eve gatherings. Let's face it just wouldn't feel like the festive season if you weren't having a fierce competition with your sibling to prove you know that obscure meme that was posted all the way back in February.

So in order to see if your friends, families, or colleagues have been keeping up with the news, sports, memes, trends, TV and films of 2023, we've come up with 50 quiz questions and answers to test everyone's knowledge on the year that is 2023.

Good luck!
