How to plan a trivia night: the ultimate checklist for success
Trivia night is a fun way to get people together and have a great time. While a trivia night can be a lot of work for the host, it can also be a lot of fun for teams, and provide an avenue for them to build lasting relationships. It’s also a great way for your team to show off their knowledge of random facts about the world, or even fun facts about your company.
How do you plan a trivia night that guarantees 100% success?
The key to any successful trivia night is to plan everything ahead. The event can be as simple as inviting some friends over to play some rounds of Trivial Pursuit or as well-planned as hiring a professional quiz master and providing them with questions beforehand, virtually or physically. Here are some tips to help you pull off a successful trivia night:
Deciding your theme for the night
Whether you are hosting a trivia night with your friends or with your team members, it’s always fun to set a theme for the event. You can choose to have a general theme like “1980s Movies” or “90’s TV Shows” or you can go more specific like “80s Cartoons”. The theme will dictate what questions the host asks and what prizes you could potentially offer. While the theme can be anything, it should be something that is not too obscure or difficult. For example, if you have employees who are all from different countries, then the theme can be about celebrating their countries or continents.
Organizing a venue or hosting platform
Choosing a venue or hosting platform for your trivia night can be difficult. You want to find a place that is not too small, but not too big either. You also want to make sure that the location is easy to get to or an easy software platform to use (for remote teams).
Get an excellent quizmaster or moderator
With a host or quizmaster, you will have a more enjoyable and interactive trivia night. A quizmaster will not only help provide the questions but also the structure and organization of your trivia night. They can keep everyone engaged and entertained by their witty remarks. Bar None Games has expert hosts to make your trivia night exciting.
Exciting prizes
A trivia night is always fun, but it can be made more interactive by adding prizes for the winners! Prizes could include things like gift cards, movie tickets, or even something more personal, like a handmade winner’s certificate.
