Spotlight on Our Signature Games

Live Trivia

Live Trivia is the bedrock of many of our weekly events. Picture this: teams or individuals competing against each other to answer questions from a variety of categories, such as pop culture, history, sports, science, and more. The fun part is that you don’t have to be a walking encyclopedia—often, teamwork and a little strategic guessing can take you far.

Why It’s a Must-Try:

  • Engaging Variety: Each round covers a range of topics to keep you on your toes.
  • Team Building: Perfect for groups of friends, colleagues, or family members looking for a collective challenge.
  • Prizes & Glory: Venues often award gift cards or other prizes to winning teams, alongside perpetual bragging rights.

Singo

Ever wonder how you could mix Bingo with your favorite tunes? Enter Singo. Instead of letters and numbers, you’ll find song titles or artists on your Bingo card. The host plays short clips of music, and you mark off the songs if you have them. First to fill in the required pattern and yell “Singo!” is the winner.

Why You’ll Love Singo:

  • Music for Everyone: Expect an array of genres—from classics to modern hits.
  • Low-Pressure Fun: Even if you’re not great at trivia, you can still get into the spirit of guessing and jamming along.
  • Social Atmosphere: Singo nights often turn into mini dance parties, adding an extra layer of enjoyment.

Music Match

For the real music mavens, Music Match is an adrenaline-fueled contest where you try to identify tracks or artists before your opponents do. Think you can name that tune in just a few seconds? This game’s for you.

Highlights:

  • Fast-Paced: Each song snippet is brief, so get your mental playlist ready.
  • Competitive Edge: Rounds get more challenging, encouraging strategy and quick recall.
  • Share the Spotlight: Great for showing off that music-savvy friend who knows every lyric from the ’80s onward.

Pub Poll

Modeled after popular “survey says” game shows, Pub Poll tasks you with figuring out how most people answered fun and quirky survey questions. The twist? It’s not about being “correct” but rather predicting the majority response. This leads to hilarious moments and interesting insights into how people think.

Why Pub Poll Stands Out:

  • Easy to Play: Even if you’re no trivia buff, you can still guess how others might respond.
  • Conversation Starter: Questions often spark lively debates and lots of laughter.
  • Perfect Ice-Breaker: Ideal for getting to know people better or enjoying a lighthearted challenge with friends.
