Unlocking what Australians do after work – Pub Trivia Night. It’s one of the important after-work entertainment activities for people in Australia. A few friends meet up together, you can drink, catch up, and also exercise your brain at the same time. A lot of pubs will hold Trivia on one weekday night to attract people in!
Trivia Night is basically random knowledge quiz night. Usually there are multiple rounds of questions, and each round has a different focus. Each round had 10 questions. One correct answer gives one point. You can also choose the two categories you are best at as your double points rounds! Every time the categories are different too, so if you want to win, you also need a bit of luck.
The host reads the questions while using the screen to help display the content. The answers are all written in this little booklet. After finishing one round, you tear the page out and hand it to the host, then they calculate the score. Before the next round starts, they show everyone the ranking leaderboard.
At the end, the host gives out prizes from lowest place to highest place.
