As well as an opportunity to come together socially, a trivia night also allows us to flex our mental muscles and pit our knowledge against our friends and family. It doesn’t take a genius to organize a games night either, especially with the help of all the digital tools at your disposal. Once you’ve got that sorted, you now need to plan the evening itself! If you’re inviting one or two others, then great. Otherwise, you’ll probably want to think about a guest list. Choose others who are like-minded in enjoying a quiz or mental challenge, as well as those who will have fun just being part of the event. Make use of a scheduling tool that can send out virtual invites to your guest list, making it easy to find a date and time that suits everyone. 

The image that comes to mind of a quiz night is a group of friends gathered around a table, perhaps enjoying a drink or two and stacks of potato chips and a board game in front of them. Unfortunately, many of us cannot meet face-to-face right now, but that doesn’t need to put a stopper in fun. Video calling software, which pretty much all of us have on our phones these days, means that virtual quiz nights can be just as fun as those in person, and with dozens of online games and quiz apps to choose from, you’ll be booking in as many nights as you can! Try an app like Houseparty - multiple friends can all join the same party through its clever video function, and there are several entertaining games on there to try. You’ll be surprised how quickly time passes! 

Depending on where we are in the world, physical get-togethers may be possible depending on local guidance. In this case, you can go out and plan to host a party and have everyone come to yours! A physical quiz night does have some advantages, of course. It opens up a whole world of board games and other things you can only really do in person. Remember to arrange all the drinks and snacks you and your guests will want throughout the night. If you get caught short, several grocery delivery apps are available that will have shopping delivered to your front door quickly. Organizing a trivia night is a sure-fire way of having hours of fun, whoever you end up inviting.
