Trivia Night

A lively game built for conversation and shared discovery—not humiliation, speed alone, or proving who already knows the most.

OVERVIEW

What this kit helps you build

A 90-minute trivia night for small teams, with accessible pacing, transparent scoring, verified questions, and room for people who arrive without a team.

  • Create or place solo arrivals on welcoming teams.
  • Read questions aloud and display them when possible.
  • Use categories broad enough for different ages and experiences.
  • Resolve disputed answers through a named human host.

RUN OF SHOW

More conversation than scoreboard.

  1. 0:00–0:15 — Arrive: form balanced teams and explain access/scoring.
  2. 0:15–0:25 — Warm-up: one collaborative sample question.
  3. 0:25–1:05 — Play: four short rounds with answer review.
  4. 1:05–1:15 — Human round: each team contributes one conversation question.
  5. 1:15–1:30 — Close: announce results, thank fact-checkers, set next date.

AI AS CO-HOST

Generate possibilities. Verify every fact.

Draft questionsDraft 20 community trivia questions across [CATEGORIES] for [AUDIENCE]. Mix difficulty and question formats. For each answer, provide a primary-source verification lead and a date sensitivity note. Avoid stereotypes, trick wording, personal data, and questions likely to shame participants.
Audit the setAudit this trivia set for ambiguous wording, duplicate facts, cultural narrowness, age bias, accessibility issues, and claims that may have changed. Do not declare facts verified; list exactly what a human fact-checker must confirm from primary sources.
Write the invitationDraft a 120-word invitation for a free community trivia night on [DATE] at [PLACE]. Include exact times, team format, cost, access details, whether people can arrive alone, and the named human contact. Keep the tone warm and non-competitive.

HUMAN GOVERNANCE

A model is not the answer key.

A human fact-checker verifies every question before use, the host resolves ambiguity and scoring, and organizers protect participant privacy. AI-generated citations or confident wording are never treated as proof.
