Pub quiz
in Den Bosch
Eight rounds of knowledge questions alone leave the same two people at each table doing all the work. There's a fix for that. From €195 for the group.
Rounds where people who don't know the answers can score too
A quiz made up only of knowledge questions turns, within a few rounds, into a contest between two people per table while everyone else just sits there. So we change the format. A round where you have to recognise something from a sound or a clip suits different people from a round of pure fact recall. A round where you put five things in order is won by discussion, not by knowing. And a round where a team member has to act something out or copy a drawing brings to the front exactly the person who hasn't said anything all evening.
For the watching and listening rounds we need sound and pictures that can be followed from all over the room, so tables with a view of the screen and speakers that can be heard at the back too. We bring that, and you provide a power socket and the room. For the action rounds a small bit of open floor is enough, not a stage. Tell us beforehand how the group is made up, and we'll balance the mix of formats accordingly.
The formats we alternate
- Recognising a sound or a clip
- Putting things in order, won by discussion
- Acting out or copying a drawing by a team member
What the room needs for that
- A view of the screen from every table

Frequently asked questions
Does everyone have to stand in front of the group?
Nobody has to stand in front of the group and we never force it. In the action rounds one team member at a time takes part, and only if they offer, and teams that don't fancy it skip that round and pick up points in the other formats.
Does a quiz with music rounds also work for a mixed age group?
Music rounds work well for mixed ages, as long as you don't stick to one decade. We deliberately spread the clips over several periods, so every generation at the table is the strongest on a few tracks.
How many different formats are there in an evening?
An evening usually has four to five different formats. More becomes restless, because each new format needs explaining again, and that explaining is exactly where the evening loses pace.
Does it cost more if the group is bigger?
A bigger group doesn't automatically make a quiz night more expensive. Up to about fifty participants little changes in the set-up, and the starting price stays €195. Only above that number do we need extra sound equipment and a second person, and that does add to the price.
