FAQS

 

What type of venues does this work for?

Any venue that wants to bring in a midweek crowd and a build loyal, repeat customers! As few as 6 additional customers is typically enough to cover our cost to you. We suggest the venue should be able to accommodate a minimum of 25 customers with no maximum. 

 

How do we actually make money from trivia night?

Through increased food and beverage spend. Trivia keeps a table occupied for 2 hours, where they are much more likely to order a main meal and multiple rounds of drinks compared to a standard dining table. Many venues create a special deal like a “Trivia & Parmi Night” to drive even more attendance and guarantee that meal purchase from every punter.

 

What do we need to provide?

A power point to plug in our gear, that’s it! We have our own projectors, screens, speakers and microphones to deliver a great trivia night at any venue. If your venue has an existing A/V setup, we can easily connect via HDMI. We supply the host, pens, answer booklets, trivia and marketing material.

 

What are our staff requirements during the night?

The only staff requirement is your standard service crew. Our host manages the entire quiz, handles the A/V, and looks after the crowd. Your staff simply needs to be prepared for the rush!

 

Do you help with promotion?

100%. Creating awareness about trivia at your venue is the most critical part of creating a successful night. We create and manage a Facebook event for you, we supply you with flyers to hand out to customers in the lead up to your first trivia night as well as posters and digital assets / socials.

 

Can we run monthly or bi-weekly trivia nights?

While some venues ask about fortnightly trivia, our years of experience show that weekly consistency is one of the biggest factors in building a successful trivia night. Building momentum and retaining regular teams is significantly faster and more profitable when the event is weekly.

 

How long does it take to build a crowd?

We’ve been doing this for years and have noticed the same pattern amongst all venues introducing trivia to their venue for the first time; the ones that work to create awareness build consistent crowds faster. That’s why we want to help as much as we can. Our success is your success and we want to be partners with you for the long haul. Our introductory 6 week 50% period is there to build trust and consistency with you and your customers. 

 

We go further than the other trivia companies do with promotion because we want you to hit the ground running. You’ll likely find the initial 6 weeks will have some volatility. From there, you should expect to start locking in some teams who have formed the habit loop and now know “Tuesday night is trivia night” at your venue. This is what we’re aiming for. Trivia teams lock in, become regulars and will come to trivia every week for years and this is where you start to see the compounding effects. 

 

We’re confident you’ll see the value in our business from day one and start to see consistent, repeat customers within the first 6 weeks.

 

What about the quiz, how long is it, what’s it like and what are the questions like?

Our quiz runs for 1.5 - 2 hours. It consists of 5 rounds of 10 questions in each round. The rounds last between 10-15 minutes followed by roughly 10 minute breaks between in each round. It’s designed to give punters enough trivia and entertainment but also enough time to catch up with their friends around the table. We find this formula to work best.  It also creates an opportunity to create some urgency around bar specials to drive sales. “During this round break and this round break only, the bar is offering $7 schooners!”

 

The quiz itself covers a wide range of general knowledge topics and pop culture. It’s fun for everyone and try to balance the questions to suit a crowd of 18 - 60 year olds. It’s equal parts brainteasers, trivia, games and a bit of luck. The real goal of our quiz is to get punters chatting at their tables. We play fun music in the background throughout the show and our hosts are known for friendly banter amongst the crowd.
