How to run a trivia night

Pacing is key to a good trivia night. So limit each round to 10 questions, mix up the difficulty of the questions within a round, and allow 10-15 seconds for each question. Read the questions out for the participants to write their answers instead of announcing them. This will stop the fast teams from getting in all their answers before the slower ones.

For very large groups of people in a single room, Host Mode can project questions in large text. This can then be mirrored to a TV or projector. In “Host Mode,” pressing the space bar will reveal an answer and the “Right Arrow” will take you to the next question. This is ideal for running a trivia night.

Sample trivia questions

What is the only letter that does not appear in any U.S. state name?: Q
Which planet has the most moons in our solar system?: Saturn
What word means both a window covering and something that makes you unable to see?: Blind
In what year did the Berlin Wall fall?: 1989
What is the world's largest ocean?: The Pacific Ocean
Which fruit has its seeds on the outside?: Strawberry
What does the word "serendipity" mean?: A happy accident or discovery
How many sides does a heptagon have?: Seven
