The Beatles Story in Liverpool is marking the anniversary of The Beatles’ 1965 film 'Help!' with a quiz built around the band’s second feature. The museum highlighted the date in a post noting that, on this day in 1965, 'Help!' had its world premiere in London, and directed followers to test their knowledge through its online trivia game.

The quiz appears on The Beatles Story’s website under its Education section and Games and Quizzes series. The page describes it as a way to see whether visitors can get full marks on a quiz about The Beatles’ second film. It also frames the activity as part of the museum’s anniversary commemoration of the film’s release, inviting users to compare scores and share results on social media.

'Help!' remains one of the key films in The Beatles’ screen history, and the museum’s quiz focuses attention on that chapter through a light educational format rather than a retrospective exhibition or screening. The online feature is presented as a piece of fan engagement, with the museum describing its broader games and quizzes offering as 'fun for all ages.'

On the website, The Beatles Story says the quiz is available as part of its ongoing digital education content. The page carries the title 'How Well Do You Know ‘Help!’?' and includes a start button, scoring prompts and options to retake the quiz. It also encourages users to check out other quizzes on the site, placing the new feature within a wider set of Beatles-themed learning resources.

The museum’s social media message linked the quiz directly to the anniversary, using the phrase '#OnThisDay in 1965' to identify the moment being remembered. The post also described 'Help!' as the band’s 'action-packed adventure,' underscoring the film’s place in Beatles popular culture without adding further context or interpretation.

According to the quiz page, the feature was created in honour of the 60th anniversary of the film’s release this month. No in-person event is listed on the source page; instead, the anniversary is being observed through the museum’s online platform, with the quiz available for visitors to play on the museum website.

The Beatles Story, which is based in Liverpool, hosts the quiz on its education pages alongside other games and activities. The site notes opening times and visitor information, but the anniversary content itself is centred on the online quiz and its prompt to revisit 'Help!' through a short test of Beatles knowledge.
