Boost Your Twin Cities Business: Transform Slow Nights with Challenge Entertainment Game Nights
If you’re a bar or restaurant owner in the Twin Cities, you’ve likely faced the challenge of filling seats on slower nights. What if you could turn those quiet evenings into your busiest, most profitable nights of the week? Sounds too good to be true, right? Thousands of bar and restaurant owners across the nation have already achieved this transformation with Challenge Entertainment game nights.
Our trivia and game packages are designed to help businesses like yours attract new customers, create unforgettable experiences, and keep patrons coming back week after week. From Singo and Music Match to Live Trivia and our dynamic crowd favorite, Pub Poll, Challenge Entertainment provides engaging entertainment that drives foot traffic and boosts profits.
Why Game Nights Work
1. People Crave Entertainment and Social Interaction
In a vibrant city like Minneapolis and St. Paul, people are always on the lookout for fun things to do during the week. Hosting a trivia night or a music bingo event creates an exciting experience where friends can gather, compete, and have fun together — all while enjoying food and drinks at your venue.
2. Repeat Customers and Consistency
Challenge Entertainment game nights aren’t one-off events — they’re designed to create repeat customers. Teams return each week to defend their titles, build rivalries, and experience a fresh set of questions or playlists, encouraging consistent business on what would otherwise be slow nights.
3. Increased Food & Beverage Sales
The longer guests stay, the more they spend. Our game nights keep customers engaged for multiple rounds, giving them plenty of time to order another round of drinks, try a dessert, or enjoy appetizers.
Proven Success Nationwide
Challenge Entertainment has worked with thousands of bars and restaurants across the country to bring life to slow nights. Our success stories span all types of establishments, from cozy neighborhood pubs to large restaurant chains.

3. Music Match

How to Turn Your Slow Night into a Success Story
Step 1: Identify Your Slowest Night
Start by pinpointing which night could benefit most from a boost in traffic. Whether it’s a Tuesday or Wednesday, introducing a structured, fun event can break the cycle of slow sales.

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.
