FAQ
Do I need an experienced host?
No. Most venues use bartenders, managers, or trusted staff members.
What equipment do I need?
Typically just a TV HDMI to connect to your computer and a microphone.
Who sets the prizes?
You do. Most venues use gift cards, commonly $50 for first place, $25 for second, and $10 for third. This can vary based on turnout.
Can I run more than one game per week?
You can, but we usually recommend one regular game per week for consistency and community building. Many bars also will do a monthly theme night.
How hard is it to run a game?
Very simple. Our team will walk you through a typical game to get you ready. Our system has a built-in slideshow for your TVs that you control. All you need to do is read the questions on the screen and tally up the scores.
What are the game materials?
Whaddayaknow? players enjoy being able to put their phones away, which is why we offer templates for printed answer sheets. For our pilot program, we will send you materials straight from our office (including branded pens!).
