Organizing a bar trivia night can be a great way to attract customers to your bar or pub. But how long should it last? Depending on the number of participants and the complexity of the questions, a trivia night can range from 1 to 3 hours. On average, it will last two hours. However, it can last longer if the questions are related to sports or movies. One of the great things about Sporcle Live is that they play two one-hour rounds.
This allows people to come late, leave early, or stay for both. If you're looking to increase profits, consider offering a trivia night on days when the bar or restaurant is struggling to get customers (usually Sunday to Thursday). The time between each round can also be used for a short break, such as having a drink at the bar or smoking outside. To promote your trivia night, create quarter page flyers and place them on the counter of the bar or restaurant, hand them out to customers, attach them to the menu, or place them under the windshield wipers of cars in the parking lot (check local regulations first). If you know someone who owns or manages a bar or restaurant, start there; if not, prepare a “cover letter” explaining what a trivia night is and how it will attract customers to the place (it might also be a good idea to print business cards).When hosting a trivia night at a bar, make sure you turn the direction of your questions so that everyone in the bar or restaurant can hear you.
Additionally, teams should be between 1 and 6 players per team. Organizing and hosting a weekly Q&A night at a bar doesn't have to be difficult. With some preparation and promotion, you can create an enjoyable and profitable experience for your customers.
