How to Host a Winning Trivia Night (Even If You’ve Never Done It Before)

Tips from Trivia Pros to Keep Your Crowd Engaged and Coming Back for More

Hosting a trivia night is more than just reading questions—it’s about creating an experience. Whether you're a bar owner, event planner, or just want to spice up your game night, these tips will help you host a night to remember.

1. Know Your Audience - Is your crowd into sports, pop culture, or obscure facts? Tailor the questions accordingly.

2. Start Strong - Kick things off with a fun icebreaker question or themed round to set the tone.

3. Use a Mic (Even If You Think You Don’t Need One) - Clear communication is key. Even in smaller venues, a mic ensures no one misses a question. Using a TV for players to have a visual of the questions is also a great idea, it eliminates the need to repeat the question several times.

4. Keep the Energy Up - Use humor, music, and banter between rounds to keep things lively.

5. Mix It Up - Include some multiple choice, themed, audio or visual rounds, and maybe a surprise final wager round for drama.

6. Be Fair but Firm - Set ground rules (like no phones!) and be consistent. You’re the host, not the referee.

7. Don’t Forget the Prizes - Gift cards, bar tabs, or quirky trophies—prizes give players something to shoot for and brag about. (typically given out by the venue)

Hosting your first trivia night? Keep it fun, flexible, and focused on the players. The more fun they have, the more they’ll come back.
