However, just like any sports competition, you can strategize and prepare for it if you want to win. Unfortunately, many casual participants don’t know how to prepare for trivia night. If you’re one of them, you’re at the right place. 

In this post, we’ll give you a lowdown on crafting a winning team by nailing your preparation using some effective strategies.

Let’s get started!

Preparing for a Trivia Night the Right Way

On any given day, the difference between winning or losing comes down to your preparation. And believe it or not, preparation involves strategizing and trying out different tactics to give you an edge. Here are 5 steps that can take you closer to winning a trivia night:

 

  • Participate in a Trivia Night as a Spectator

 

Before testing your skills at a trivia night, you’ll want to experience in person how the event goes. Sure, you can watch trivia shows online or on TV, but being a spectator at a local event will give you an idea about the atmosphere. It’s the difference between watching a football game at home or the stadium. 

 

  • Get Studying

 

After experiencing a trivia night, the next step is to hit the books. There are hundreds of trivia websites and apps that can help you learn and practice trivia. You can ask the trivia host about the theme or category at the next event and take yourself down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.

 

  • Know the Venue

 

Every venue is different so you’ll want to do a little research and find out what themes or topics you need to focus on. Most bar trivia hosts update their business websites or social media posts with the information. Before registering your team, you can ask everything you need to know. You can also ask about any specific venue rules so you know what you’re heading into.

 

  • Pick Your Team

 

Chances are you won’t be doing any of the things above alone. A trivia is a team event so your squad would most probably be with you during every step of the preparation. If you don’t have a team yet, assemble one to work towards a common goal. You can ask your buddies or work colleagues to hop on board. 

 

  • Fuel Your Body

 

There are many things you should never do on an empty stomach, and playing trivia games is one of them. The last thing you want is to be hungry at trivia night and be distracted by food coming out the kitchen door. If the trivia night is at a restaurant and/or bar, you can arrive early and have a bite to eat. This will keep your brain and body well-fueled throughout the event.
