Big Weird Trivia

This event was Flawlessly executed. Micah is an excellent communicator and a sharp, witty, and talented entertainer. He came fully-prepared and ready to rock with a custom-made trivia game that was mischievously challenging and super fun. It was a Hit.

My engineers loved No Sports Trivia

Mt corporate event at the Hard Rock in SF was made so much more fun because of this added activity. The hosts were very personable and their enthusiasm was contagious. I received a lot of good feedback after my event.
Thanks for a great game!

What to expect

No Sports Trivia provides customized trivia games for audiences of 20-200 players.

We offer 60-90 minutes of gameplay, which includes the awarding of prizes. Attendees will play in teams for 4-8 players, making custom trivia a great team-building activity. Players will get to know their teammates in new ways, and discover new things about the players on other teams.

Hosts require ~15 minutes before and after for setup and cleanup. Hosts provide all tools for gameplay, including answer sheets and pens. Hosts can bring audio equipment for an additional fee.

Hosts provide small, funny prizes for winners. Some clients choose to supply additional thematic or company-specific prizes.

Trivia games can be played in any space where amplified speech is easily heard, and players can speak and write (table seating is great but not essential, we can provide clipboards). Venues do not need to have audio systems in place, as hosts can provide microphones and amplification for an additional fee.

About

Big Weird Trivia offers customized, original trivia games for private and corporate events. We're a great choice for off-sites, educational events, and conferences. Our games can accommodate 20-200 players, and clients can select the content rating and broad themes (ie. A G-rated game that includes trivia about memes, California facts, and weird science).

Additional booking notes

Our setup is easy! Clients/venues should provide a microphone and amplification . The two hosts need a place to sit with their microphones, and a flat surface for writing. This can be a counter, bar, table, soundbooth, or stage.

The players should all be in the same room as the hosts to facilitate easy and engaging gameplay. Tables and chairs are great but not required. We can provide clipboards at no additional fee for standing groups.

Influences and inspiration

We're inspired by engaging, smart, and odd institutions like No Such Thing as a Fish, Quite Interesting, and other legacy gameshows and pub quizzes. We aim for a friendly, warm, and encouraging atmosphere.

Setup requirements

We can provide audio equipment for an additional fee. Otherwise, the venue should provide amplification suitable for the space and group size, and one or two microphones.

Hosts require two chairs and a writing surface (podium, table, counter, etc) near the microphone plugin. Stages are great but not necessary. Players will benefit from access to tables or writing surfaces, but we provide clipboards on request at no additio
