Question 3
Which Charleston bridge replaced the Grace and Pearman spans in 2005?
A sample night. The teams and scores are invented; the questions are the kind I write.
Most trivia is bought off a shelf. Yours gets written.
A night, start to finish
Teams check in, pick a name, get a pencil. I explain the rules in under a minute and then we play.
The first round is written around your group: your city, your office, your guest of honor. Everyone gets to be right about something.
One round you hear instead of read. It changes the energy of the room, and it is the one people talk about afterwards.
Scores go up, drinks get ordered, nobody gets rushed. The standings are close on purpose.
Teams bet what they have on one last question. This is where a comfortable lead stops being comfortable.
Final scores on the screen, a winner named out loud, prizes handled if you want them. Then the room keeps talking.
A sample night. The teams and scores are invented; the order of the night is real.

How I write it
Almost every trivia night you have played was bought from someone. One company writes a question set, licenses it out to forty hosts, and half the city ends up answering the same questions on the same evening.
There is nothing wrong with that, exactly. It just is not written for anybody in particular, and you can feel it by the third round when the questions clearly belong to a different room than the one you are sitting in.
So I ask who is actually coming. Which department reckons it is the smartest, who the night is for, what the running joke is. Then I write it around that, host it and score it myself, which means nothing gets lost between the page and the microphone. The best team name I have had across a season was I thought this was AA, who then won by eleven points, so they had earned it.

Go on. Nobody's scoring this one.
