Who is Challenge Entertainment?

Challenge Entertainment is a leader in live-hosted trivia and gamenight experiences across the nation. We partner with local bars, restaurants, and breweries to transform an ordinary evening into an unforgettable night of friendly competition. Our four signature games—Live Trivia, Singo, Music Match, and Pub Poll—cater to a variety of interests, ensuring there’s a game for every kind of fun-seeker.

Our Four Signature Games

  1. Live Trivia – Our classic quiz night. Teams or individuals answer trivia questions spanning pop culture, history, sports, and more.
  2. Singo – A musical twist on Bingo. Instead of numbers, your card features song titles or artists, and you check off each match as you listen to short clips.
  3. Music Match – Think “Name That Tune” in a fast-paced, competitive setting. Race against others to identify songs and artists, winning points for speed and accuracy.
  4. Pub Poll – Inspired by TV game shows where you guess the most common survey answers rather than the “correct” ones. Perfect for those who love lively debates and crowd psychology.

In this blog, we’ll highlight some of our weekly events in and around Chattanooga. You’ll also discover tips for making the most of your experience—whether you choose Live Trivia, Singo, or one of our other fun games.
