Why Southern California Game Nights Are a Must
When it comes to Southern California entertainment, nothing beats the vibe of gathering friends for game night. Restaurants, breweries, and community spaces transform into buzzing hubs of friendly competition.
Challenge Entertainment hosts events that:
- Last about two hours (just the right length for weeknight fun).
- Are always free to play.
- Offer real prizes, bragging rights, and unforgettable memories.
Game nights are the perfect way to break up your week, meet new people, and discover local venues you’ll want to return to.
Singo: Where Music Meets Bingo
If you love music and want a relaxed, social atmosphere, Singo is for you. Instead of numbers on your bingo card, you’ll see song titles. The host plays clips, and when you recognize the tune, you mark it off.
With playlists that span everything from Motown classics to Top 40 hits, Singo brings a sing-along vibe that makes it one of the most fun game nights in Southern California.
Music Match: Fast-Paced Musical Trivia
For those who crave more challenge, Music Match is a high-energy game that tests your ability to recognize songs, artists, and lyrics. Short clips play, and you and your team race to identify the correct answer before the competition does.
This game is ideal for die-hard music fans or anyone who loves the excitement of beating the clock. It’s fun, competitive, and perfect for a Southern California crowd that thrives on energy and variety.
Live Trivia: The Classic Crowd Favorite
Live Trivia is the cornerstone of Challenge Entertainment’s lineup. Each night features a live host guiding you through multiple rounds of questions that cover:
- Movies and TV
- Sports
- History and geography
- Pop culture
- General knowledge
Trivia brings people together in the best way possible. With team names, weekly rivalries, and the satisfaction of getting that one “impossible” question right, it’s easy to see why trivia has become a tradition for so many across Southern California.
Ballistic Bingo: High-Speed Fun
Forget the slow pace of traditional bingo. Ballistic Bingo takes things up a notch with faster rounds, high-energy hosting, and frequent prizes.
If you’re looking for something lighthearted but exciting, Ballistic Bingo is one of the most entertaining things to do in Southern California midweek.
Pub Poll: Survey-Style Laughs
Pub Poll is all about teamwork and thinking like the crowd. The host asks fun, survey-based questions such as:
- “Name something people always bring to the beach.”
- “What’s a TV show everyone has binge-watched at least once?”
Your team earns points by matching the most popular answers. With no wrong answers—just “crowd answers”—it’s one of the funniest and most social games on the roster.
Pub Poll is especially popular with new players because it doesn’t require niche knowledge. It’s about reading the room, laughing at the results, and enjoying the moment.

Find a Game That's Right for You and Your Team
Live Trivia nights at a pub near you are a great way for friends, family and coworkers to work together, tackle some tough questions and win prizes! Live Trivia is always free to play, and sometimes it even pays to be a know-it-all, so gather up your full-of-random-information friends and find a Live Trivia game night near you.
With SINGO Music Bingo, instead of listening for numbers to be called, you’re listening to your favorite music and matching the tunes to your SINGO game card. Go ahead and sing along! SINGO is fun for everyone, and if you can’t remember the song title, just ask your neighbor.
With Pub Poll, you’re rewarded for knowing what the most popular answer is, not necessarily what the correct answer is! Every week, players from around the country are surveyed and their answers are compiled for a six-round game. Go ahead and cheat all you like. Use your phone, consult Google, call your mom … Pub Poll isn’t about what you know, it’s about what you think others know.
Grab your Bingo cards and hold on to your hat; you’re in for a wild ride. Ballistic Bingo pairs traditional Bingo with spontaneous activities featuring anything from bar limbo and trash-can basketball to picture drawing, dart throwing, scavenger hunting, the newlywed/friend game or anything else your host can think of!
Music Match is a one of a kind trivia game that combines elements of all your favorite musical genres. Our Jockeys will get the crowd going as they play music that everyone will love...but there's a catch! Each song will only be played for a moment as your guests do their best to remember the details about those hits. This team based game will have guests working together and jamming out at the same time.
