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, week after week after week!

Brainstormer Materials: Our materials (team Play Cards, Hand Outs, Picture Rounds, Pencils, Advertising Materials, Posters, etc...) are second to none. Your regulars will know they are playing a quality Pub Quiz when they attend your Brainstormer event.
Brainstormer Questions: If you have ever written your own trivia questions you will now how time consuming this chore can quickly become. Put your valuable time to better use. Let us do the work! With over 15 years as a leader in the Pub Quiz industry, we know the types of questions that work. To that end, we write the vast majority of our questions 'in-house'. This ensures the content is original and relevant to your audience. We also take care to ensure that our questions are challenging AND entertaining, and we provide a pronunciation guide for some of the more challenging words/names that appear in our questions. (Unlike some other quiz suppliers, we do not copy questions from other trivia games, websites, etc ...) 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 and this ensures fresh and topical content. Many of our long term clients have been hosting weekly events for 10 years!
Brainstormer Photos: Copyright is important to us! Our Picture Rounds feature photographs we have paid for and licensed from top suppliers of stock images such as Wireimage and Getty images.
Weekly Downloads: Regular clients receive access to download weekly current events questions from our Web site.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Each event is designed to last about two hours and our Deluxe Quiz Pack consists of six rounds of ten questions each. The breaks in the play allow for adequate intermission time and opportunites for purchasing food and drinks!

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.

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.

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.

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.
