F.A.Q.
What is Trivia Night?
Trivia Night (also called a Quiz Night or a Pub Quiz) is a fun, social game where teams answer questions over several rounds. Each round has its own theme: cinema, music, pop culture, history, sport, and more. The team with the most correct answers at the end wins. No experience needed.
How does the evening work?
You sit with your team, the emcee reads questions aloud, your team quietly discusses amongst yourselves, and you write your answers on a sheet. Questions come in rounds, each with a theme. After each round, sheets are collected and scored, and we announce which teams are in the lead.
Who can play? Do I need to be an expat?
Anyone. Expats, locals, students, visitors. All you need is curiosity and a sense of humor.
What if I come alone? Do I need a team?
Coming alone is fine: buy your ticket at the bar when you arrive, grab a seat at The Palm’s Bar and play solo, or we’ll do our best to slot you onto a team with room. A solo ticket is half the 2 person team price and gets you 1 pizza and 10% off the menu (beers come with team tickets). Teams are 2, 3, or 4 people, so bring friends, coworkers or family.
Why is there a ticket price and deposit?
Your ticket is your deposit. It holds your team’s table, so a reserved table doesn’t sit empty and block another team. It also covers the food and drink included with your ticket, and helps the venue prep food and staff for a full room and run the sound and screens.
Is it in English?
Questions are shown on screen in both English and Vietnamese. The emcee hosts in English.
What are the questions about?
Cinema, music, history, geography, sport, science, pop culture, and more.
How does my team win?
Each correct answer earns a point. The team with the most points after the final round wins. If two teams tie, a wager question decides it.
Can I ask for a hint or repeat?
Repeat, yes. Just ask and the emcee will read the question again. Hint, no. That’s part of the fun.
Can I use my phone?
No. Nope. Uh-uh. Not a chance. Can NOT. We prefer phones in pockets or screen side down on the table while questions are live. It’s more fun when everyone plays fair.
Can I come just to watch?
Yes! Spectators are welcome to sit, order, and enjoy the night. Only ticket holders answer questions, compete for prizes, and get 10% off the menu.
