How to run a trivia night

Good trivia nights run on pacing. Keep rounds to 10 questions, mix difficulties within each round, and give teams 10–15 seconds per question before moving on. Reading questions aloud while teams write answers — rather than shouting them out — prevents faster groups from dominating.

Use Host Mode for larger rooms — it displays questions in large text you can mirror to a TV or projector, and keyboard shortcuts (Space to reveal, → to advance) let you run the whole session hands-free.

Sample trivia questions

What word means both a window covering and something that makes you unable to see?: Blind
