Looking for new ideas
Hi all.
I am a previous Bar Bingo Host that is now transitioning over to Bar Trivia, so looking for ideas that stand out from most other Bar trivia.
What are some of your favorite trivia nights, and what makes them stand out from the typical format? I'm not looking to copy anyone exactly, just gather ideas and put my own spin on things.
One thing I definitely want to do is themed nights, but more broad themes instead of a single fandom, tho maybe once a month do a Fandom to maybe attract new players.
For example:
Sitcom Night
Reality TV Night
90s Nostalgia
One-Hit Wonders
Fast Food & Restaurants
Halloween
Cartoons
...rather than something like Harry Potter or Friends.
Right now we only award one winning team. We don't have prizes for second or third place, although that could change in the future. One idea I had was giving the second place team a little incentive by letting them choose the following week's theme from three options, kind of like the final category selection on Wheel of Fortune.
I'd love to hear any ideas you've seen work well. Whether it's unique rounds, scoring twists, bonus games, audience participation, prize ideas, or anything else that keeps people coming back each week.
