Trivia Idea-Your Thoughts?

Another idea I had for this bar called Monopoly is Trivia night.  There is a bar down the street that already has it and it does bring in about 40 people every Thursday night.  But it's all trivia, the MC has a horrible British accent and it's 2 hours long.  The worst part about it is they are allowed to smoke inside the bar and a lot of English people frequent the quiz night so you end smoking about half a pack when you walk out.

I think I want to hold Trivia on Wednesday or Friday nights.  I want to take a different spin on it and make it a 1 hour game.  Winning Team wins a bottle of liquor that they must keep at the bar and redeem when they visit.  Or Winning team can win up to 2 pitchers of beer.

The first half hour is general trivia.  Here are 40 questions, are they too hard, too easy or just right?  Winning Team wins 1 pitcher of beer.


The second half hour are beer games to earn points. (The drinking games will encourage them to buy more pitchers)

Beer pong 20 minute 

send 2 representative from each team
How to Score: get the ball in red cup at the end of table, you and your teammate each get a turn, if you both get it in the cup consecutively, you both get to go again. Every ball you sink in you earn a point and the other team has to drink the beer. Each side starts with 10 cups each and the team that starts must win coin toss.

*Rerack the cups at 6, 4 and 2

Flip Cup Challenge 10 minutes
send 4 representative from your team
How to Score: you can challenge any team if they choose to accept to win 2 points
Each team stands on one side of the table facing your opponent, at the whistle first group chugs their drink and must flip the cup open end facing up and flip it so that the open end is faced down. When the first person completes this the next person on your team will continue until the last person finishes.
