Audience quiz
from the stage
A quiz that anyone can simply step into, including those who have just walked in. We bring the host, technology and questions.
How do you hold a room where people come and go?
An audience quiz holds a changing room by letting every question stand on its own. Whoever is there from the start collects points, but whoever walks in ten minutes later misses nothing they can't still catch up on. That keeps taking part attractive at any moment of the evening.
With a quiz with fixed teams and a running scoreboard, the opposite happens. After two rounds people know they can no longer win, and exactly the part of the room you wanted to keep drops out. That format works very well, but for a private evening at tables, and that is the pub quiz.
- You can join at any moment, even halfway through
- Take part without registration or installation
- Works from about fifty people present
- We bring the host, sound and visuals
Where do you use an audience quiz?
Anywhere the audience stands rather than sits:
Between programme items
At a conference or members' meeting between two speakers. Keeps the room awake, brings attention back to the front and takes a quarter of an hour instead of an hour.
At a trade show or open day
From a small stage, a short round every hour. Draws the public to one spot at moments you can announce beforehand, which is handy if you want to create footfall somewhere.
As the opening of an evening
For a staff evening or anniversary, when the room has not got going yet. Everyone joins in without anything needing to be organised, and afterwards the room starts talking on its own.
Host, technology and tailor-made questions
We write the questions, take care of the hosting and bring the sound and visuals. The host does the work that keeps a quiz going: keeping the pace, engaging the room and moving on in time when a question does not land. That last part is where home-made quizzes usually founder.
From you we need a spot at the front that everyone can see, power and an indication of how many people are coming. If a screen or installation is already there, we use that.
An audience quiz starts at €195. After the first conversation you will receive a firm price.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from a pub quiz?
An audience quiz is built for a room where people come and go, a pub quiz for a fixed group sitting at tables all evening. With an audience quiz, someone who walks in halfway through can simply join in, because there is no running team scoreboard for them to have missed. If you are looking for that fixed evening with teams and a final score, have a look at the pub quiz.
How do people take part without registering?
Participants answer without registering, with a show of hands, with coloured cards or via a link on their phone with nothing to fill in. Anything that creates a barrier costs you audience, and on a square or in a foyer that barrier is the difference between two hundred players and twenty.
How large can the audience be?
An audience quiz works from about fifty people present and scales well into the hundreds. Below fifty it feels like a quiz in a room that is too big, and you are better off choosing a format where people sit at tables. Above a hundred, sound and visibility become the deciding factor, and we adapt the set-up to that.
Can the questions be about our company or our event?
Some of the questions can be about your organisation, your product or the event itself, and that is usually the point of the whole quiz. We deliberately keep that share limited, about one in three questions, because a room that cannot answer half the questions drops out.
