Things to keep in mind for your first game!

With over two decades of games under our belts, we've collected some tips to pass along!

When you arrive at the venue:

1. Go Live

2. Find the nearest employee and ask for the Manager on Duty (don't forget to introduce yourself!)

3. Ask: 

  1. What's my audio set-up?
  2. What are the prizes?
  3. Is there a drinking round?
  4. How does my tab work?

4. Once your audio is set-up, start playing your music, making announcements, and making the rounds to tables! This is your time to set the tone for the night and get people excited and ready to play trivia

Your Introduction:

1. Your name

2. The Rules

  1. Don't shout out the answers
  2. Don't Cheat
  3. The Quizmaster has the final say

3. Explain Double-or-Nothing

4. Prizes

And then straight into Round One!

Reminders:

  • A perfectly timed game is approximately 2 hours long (120 minutes)
  • PROMOTE! You have a mic and a winning personality - use your powers for good: encourage teams to order more food and drink.
  • Encourage teams to sign up with the app.
  • Have confidence when on the microphone. And don’t tell them that it’s your first time hosting. Go with the confidence of a rock star that you are! As long as you're having fun and being your charming and wonderful self, there's not a lot that you can't get through. Your RM team is here to help if you need anything at all!
  • Play music during your entire game. Yes, even when you're talking (just use that volume dial to turn down the music while you're on the mic). Remember to turn the music volume up in between rounds. Your music can be whatever you want but, READ THE ROOM!
  • Never speak ill of the quiz content. You shouldn't be saying "I'm sorry, I didn't write this" or "yeah, this theme sucks" to the players. Read the questions as if you wrote them. You are a brand ambassador, and the content is the product. 
  • Walk around! Mingle! If you aren’t actively talking on the mic, you should be walking around, talking to players, and generally making merriment instead of standing or sitting there resembling a substitute teacher waiting for the kids to turn in their busy-work
