Pub Poll: Where Popular Opinion Wins
Pub Poll isn’t about being right—it’s about guessing what the majority of people think. Instead of trivia questions, you’ll answer survey-based prompts, like:
- Name a food you’d never eat on a first date.
- What’s the most overrated movie of all time?
- Name something people lie about on their resumes.
Your job isn’t to guess the “correct” answer—it’s to predict the most popular response.
Why You’ll Love Pub Poll:
- No trivia knowledge required—just think like the crowd.
- Great for sparking hilarious debates and conversations.
- Fast-paced and fun, even for first-time players.

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.
