Pub quiz
in Groningen
Someone who reads the room and adjusts as it goes. That's the difference between a quiz night and a list of questions. From €195 for the group.
What a quizmaster does that a list of questions doesn't
A quizmaster steers the evening as it goes, and that's the part you can't see on paper. He senses from the room when a round is running too long and cuts it short. He sees which team is falling far behind and makes sure the next round has something that team can score on. He notices when two tables are only talking to each other and brings them back with a question that involves everyone. A list of questions read out does none of that, which is why an evening like that often goes flat halfway through without anyone being able to say exactly why.
We present it ourselves, so nobody at your end has to stand up and do it on the side. We bring the questions, the sound, the screen and the scoring. From you we need a room where the tables can see the screen, a power socket, and an idea of how many people are coming and what kind of group it is. Setting up takes us about an hour, and that sits outside the time the programme itself lasts.

Frequently asked questions
Can we have someone from our side present the quiz?
You can present it yourselves, but we advise against it if that person is also one of the guests. Whoever presents can't play along and has to watch the room all evening. That's exactly why we do it ourselves.
What happens if the room goes flat halfway through?
For our quizmaster, a room going flat is the sign to step in, and that happens during the evening itself. He shortens the current round, brings forward a format where people have to stand up or confer, and then picks the pace up again.
How do you make sure a group who don't know each other join in?
With a group who barely know each other, our quizmaster starts with a round where nobody has any prior knowledge, so every team starts from zero and nobody feels they're there on their own. Only after that come the rounds where specific knowledge counts.
What does the price of a quiz night depend on?
The price of a quiz night depends mostly on how much is written specially for you. A compact evening with general rounds starts at €195. Once rounds about your club or company are added, the writing takes more time and the price goes up.
