Why should we use Brainstormer for our trivia supplies?
Brainstormer has been providing Quiz Packs and trivia content to clients since 1996. During that time
we believe that we have learned what works best to ensure the Quiz is
entertaining for your customers and keeps them coming back for more! Our
materials (team play cards, hand outs, picture rounds, pencils, advertising materials, etc...) are second to none.
And, importantly, all questions are written by a team of U.S. based writers
which ensures the content is original and relevant. When you order from us on a regular basis you can also be sure
that there will be no repetition of questions because we make a record of each set of
questions delivered to you. Many of our long term clients have been hosting weekly events for 10 years! Regular clients also receive access to download weekly current events questions from our Web site.
How do we promote our Trivia Quiz event?
We have an array of advertising materials available to help you ensure maximum turnout
for your Brainstormer Pub Quiz® event. Items offered include full color posters, and table
tents with blank space that can easily be personalized with your logo and text. We can also supply beer coasters upon request. Importantly regular
clients also receive a listing at our Venues page.
This helps customers easily find YOUR location when doing a Web search for 'Pub Quiz' in your state, city or town.
When do we place our order?
It is important to obtain our promotional advertising materials prior to your event.
We recommend that you place your order at least three weeks in advance by
visiting our Store.
New clients can take advantage of our specially priced 'Starter Kit' which is designed to get
your Quiz program up and running at low cost! Learn more.
To ensure timely delivery we will ship your order within days. Our normal delivery method is Fedex Ground.
You can also make special arrangements with us to have expedited delivery made at
short notice.
How do we reorder?
Visit our Store and
reorder about 2 weeks in advance. If you prefer, call us with your credit card
information and we can place you on automatic delivery schedule so you don't need to
worry about reordering. We will keep track for you and send new supplies on a regular
basis, usually every eight weeks.
What other equipment do we need?
A 'Public Address' sound system is essential if you are hosting your event in a large
venue. It is also a good idea to have a selection of music on hand to play during breaks
in the action. An iPod is a very useful tool for this and will help add to the social
atmosphere.
How long does each Trivia Quiz last?
Each event is designed to last about two hours and our Deluxe Quiz Pack consists of
seven rounds of ten questions each. The breaks in the play allow for adequate intermission
time.
What is the ideal team size for each event?
This is at your discretion but we suggest that you divide the players as evenly as
possible. Four to six players per team is generally accepted as a good average team size.
What do you suggest we use for prizes?
We suggest that you award prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed teams. If your Quiz attracts a lot of large teams, offer a 'best small team' prize to the top scoring team of four players or less. You can also ask
bonus questions and award 'spot-prizes' at random. Prizes normall consist of shirts, beer bucks, bottles, etc... Need Prizes? We offer a variety of Brainstormer branded gear including T-Shirts, coffee 'to-go' mugs, bottle openers, pens, wine openers, mouse pads, golf balls, etc... Ask us about out Quiz Merchandise.
Any other advice?
Make sure that the contestants do not use cell phones, PDAs and other devices during
your event! This can be a problem and should be dealt with accordingly. We suggest taking
the offensive cell phones and throwing them into your drinks blender.
What other services does Brainstormer offer?
If you are located in the San Francisco Bay Area or Seattle, we can provide an Emcee to come to
your venue and host your events. We also host private parties for companies, clubs and
other organizations. Learn More.
