The Trivia Host Handbook

Everything you need to host a trivia night that packs the room - question writing, pacing, scoring, tech, and crowd control - from someone who's actually held the mic.

Anyone can read questions off a phone. Almost nobody can make a Tuesday-night crowd cancel their other plans for it. The Trivia Host Handbook is a complete, no-fluff operating manual for planning, hosting, and growing a trivia night - written by a DIY entertainer who learned every lesson in it the loud way.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Plan a full trivia night from scratch - format, round structure, timing, and flow
• Write questions people argue about (in the fun way), pitched at exactly the right difficulty
• Score fairly and fast, and handle disputes without losing the room
• Work the mic with confidence, even if you've never hosted anything before
• Set up sound, screens, and answer sheets on a shoestring budget
• Turn a one-off night into a recurring gig that venues ask you back for

Whether you're running trivia at a bar, a fundraiser, a brewery, or your own living room, this handbook gives you the exact playbook - not vague inspiration, the specific steps, scripts, and judgment calls that separate a host who reads questions from a host who runs a show.

Grab a mic. Let's get you hosting.
