Ik hou van Holland
game at your venue
Music, action tasks and questions about our own country, in short rounds one after another. Built for groups where it is fine to get loud.
Why this game works with large groups
With most game formats, large groups fall apart into small clusters. That does not happen here, because there are only two teams. You hear immediately on which side of the room the right answer came from, and anyone who does nothing themselves is still on the winning or losing side. That is exactly why this format holds up with sixty or eighty people.
We build this game ourselves, inspired by a well-known Dutch television quiz. We hold no licence and have nothing to do with the broadcaster or the makers. What we deliver is the game format, the rounds and the presentation.
- Host, rounds, music and technology included
- Two teams, regardless of group size
- Suitable from 20 to well over 100 participants
- Lasts an hour and a half to two hours, with a break
What happens during the evening?
The evening consists of short rounds that change form each time, so the same thing never goes on for more than a few minutes. That pace is half the work with a large group.
The music round
Dutch-language clips that are recognised after two seconds. Works as a warm-up, because almost everyone knows something about them straight away.
The action round
Two participants per team come to the front for a short physical task. Never lasts longer than a few minutes, precisely to keep the pace high.
The countries round
Questions about Dutch habits, places and customs. This is where the discussions come from that keep coming back for the rest of the evening.
The final round with stakes
Teams bet on their own answer. That means a team that was behind all evening can still win, and it keeps the room with you until the end.
Where does this evening fit best?
This game format suits a staff party, an anniversary or a club evening where people are already sitting together and where it is fine to get noisy. It works less well if you need silence or if the group consists of separate tables whose people do not know each other, because then the game lacks the two sides that play against each other.
If you want a calmer evening in which people stay seated at their table, take a look at the pub quiz. If you are looking for a game in which one participant works against the rest, then the game with a saboteur is more interesting.
A compact set-up starts at €195. After the first conversation you'll get a firm price.
Frequently asked questions
Do you replay the real television programme?
No. This is our own game format, inspired by a well-known Dutch TV quiz about our own country. We hold no licence for it and are independent of the broadcaster and the makers. We put together the rounds, the questions and the music clips ourselves.
How big can the group be for this game?
The Ik hou van Holland game is built for large groups. Two teams of thirty people work just as well as two teams of eight, because in each round a few participants come to the front and the rest play along and shout from the sidelines. Above a hundred participants we look at sound and sightlines.
Does everyone have to take an active part?
Nobody has to come to the front. In each round we ask a few people from each team, and anyone who would rather not stays seated and helps from the side. In practice enough volunteers come forward by themselves once the first round is under way.
What room layout does this game need?
We need a room where two teams can sit facing each other, with a clear strip of about four metres between them for the action rounds. We also need a power socket and a view of a screen. We bring the sound equipment and the screen if there is none.
