Pub quiz
in Delft
In a city with a university of technology, lots of the people at the table would rather work something out than know it. We create rounds for that. From €195 for the group.
A pub quiz where you can also reason things out
Delft has a university of technology and lots of companies that grew out of it, and you notice that at a quiz night. A table full of engineers will start calculating on a beer mat at an estimation question, and that's exactly what you want. So alongside the usual knowledge rounds we include a round of estimation questions, where the team closest to the answer takes the points, and a round of puzzles where reasoning gets you further than ready knowledge. We do keep it balanced, though. A quiz that's all brainwork turns into an exam, and then half the room switches off.
For a study association, a research group or a technical company, we adjust the balance between thinking rounds and lighter rounds on music, film or the city itself. Tell us in advance what kind of group it is. Delft is about two and a half hours' drive from our workshop in Enschede, so we're there in plenty of time. You provide a room with a view of the screen and power, such as a room at the faculty, a company canteen or a café with a private room.
The rounds we add
- Estimation questions, where the closest answer wins
- Puzzles where reasoning counts for more than knowing
- A round that can still turn the scores around at the end
What stops it from becoming an exam
- Lighter rounds on music, film and pictures in between
- Keeping thinking rounds short, with a strict time limit
- Mixed teams, so every table has someone who can calculate
Frequently asked questions
What is an estimation question in a pub quiz?
With an estimation question almost nobody knows the exact answer, and the team closest to it gets the points. That creates the most discussion at the table, because everyone can contribute some reasoning, including people who don't have much ready knowledge otherwise.
Isn't a quiz with puzzles too difficult for a mixed group?
We keep puzzle rounds short and put them between lighter rounds. That way everyone can score on their own strengths. If the group is less technical, we leave out the puzzle round or make it easier.
Do you also do quiz nights for study associations?
Study associations and student clubs are a good fit for this format. We can write a round that ties in with the course or the association, if someone gives us a few topics for it in advance.
What does a pub quiz in Delft cost?
A quiz night starts at €195 for the group. Rounds we write specially for you take more preparation, and the length counts too. After a short conversation we'll send a fixed price.
