Pub Trivia
Where did Trivia start?
In order to draw customers into pubs on slower nights, the company Burns and Porter invented the pub quiz in the UK in the 1970s. Over the following few years, popularity increased steadily, going from 30 teams to 10,000 teams participating in a Burns and Porter quiz every week.
Pub quiz nights have maintained their popularity not only in the UK, but worldwide. Nowadays, a quick Google search in your area should give you a long list of interesting bar trivia events near by that you can participate in with your ideal team… which brings us to another important point.
Creating the Perfect Trivia Team
How to pick the perfect teammates…
The most important thing when it comes to picking the perfect team is ensuring that you select the friends and colleagues that will crush your opponents and make them cr……… woah woah woah… we’re only kidding. (But not really).
Obviously, picking your smarty pants friends is important, but keep in mind, winning isn’t the only way to have fun.
- Trivia questions are fast moving, so make sure you’ve got a team of focused friends with fast fingers to get button pressing or note writing as soon as you need it!
- Incorporate all ages, including mom, dad or even grandma and the kids! A good trivia game incorporates different decades for all kinds of topics, so the more years you can cover, the better chance you have.
- Gather your peeps with different hobbies. Sports, pop culture, video games, world history. Whatever the niche, make sure you’ve got a range of different hobby enthusiasts to help cover varying topics when you play trivia.
- The last, and likely the most important. Pick teammates that you know you’ll have a great time with. Even if there are prizes on the line, having a great time with your friends, family or colleagues can often be better than a winning trophy.
Trivia games come in many forms. Whether it’s a pub night, trivia time, virtual work event or a game of Trivial Pursuit, there are endless ways to quiz solo or with friends.
Now, let’s loop back to podcasts. You might be wondering how all this trivia talk ties in, so let’s get started!
