For pub and club managers

Pub Trivia for Pubs and Clubs

A weekly trivia night gives people a reason to come in on your quietest night, and a reason to stay. Guests stay about 2 hours and order 3.5 drinks each on average. Your own team hosts, from a ready-to-run pack at A$49 a week.

Why pubs and clubs run trivia

Weeknight Revenue, Every Week

A dead Tuesday costs you the same staff and the same lights as a busy one. Trivia fills the room for a couple of hours, and teams order rounds while they play.

How it works

Your Team Hosts. We Write the Night.

You still need someone on the mic, and that person is a big part of why regulars come back. You do not need to pay an outside host to do it.

Common questions

Pub Trivia FAQ

Trivia gives people a reason to come in on a night they would otherwise stay home, and a reason to stay. A trivia night runs about 2 hours, and the average guest orders 3.5 drinks across the night. Run it every week and it becomes a habit, so the same teams come back.

Pick the night you most want to fill, usually your quietest weeknight. Check it against the footy, State of Origin and the cricket your regulars will want on the screens. Then run it on the same night and at the same start time every week. Consistency is what turns a one-off crowd into regulars.

No. You need a host, but it does not have to be someone you pay by the night. A manager, owner, staff member or outgoing regular can run a great room. With On-Tap Trivia they work from the Host Q & A Sheet, which has every question and answer, extra information to share and helpful hints, so there is no host fee.

Yes. A club runs trivia the same way a pub does: a screen, a microphone, a host and teams at tables. Members bring friends, and a regular trivia night gives the bistro and the bar a reliable weeknight crowd.

A TV or projector, a laptop to run the PowerPoint, a microphone, and a printer for the Answer Booklets (one for each team). If your venue already shows the footy, you probably have most of it.

It depends on who hosts. The hosted trivia companies in Australia do not publish venue pricing, so you ask each one for a quote and pay it every night the quiz runs. With On-Tap Trivia your own team hosts, so you pay only for the pack: A$49 a week (billed A$196 every four weeks), or A$69 for a single pack. No GST is added, there is no setup fee and no lock-in contract.

Every pack is a complete night: a PowerPoint of five rounds of ten questions with Bonus Baffler clues at the end of each round, a Host Q & A Sheet, printable Answer Booklets, a marketing poster you can add your venue name to, and a Bonus Game to finish the night. It arrives every Monday as PowerPoint and PDFs.
