Hey all...

Im looking to host a family quiz night coming up soon.

Was wondering if anyone had any hints or tips for an enjoyable night for all from your own experiences...

Thanks!

Don't hold it at a Pub, as I always ended up too drunk to answer!

plates of nibbles are good to have on the table(s). carrots, celery, dips etc.
I've been to many and generally speaking they are an enjoyable night.
are you setting the questions etc?

You think along the same lines as my sister - every time she goes to a trivia night I seem to end up being on the other end of a "phone a friend" sms all night! LOL

Thanks to all who have added to this post.

Yeah, its at a family members shack this long weekend, so hopefully all goes well...

I have heard that Buzz on PS2 is a good way to go, but I went the XBOX and already have organised the questions!

That website given is gold... I had a look and there is stacks of info... Will have a closer look later and make sure it is worthwhile information!!

Nibbles was a good tip... Being male, didnt even think of others!! haha!

Thanks again... Touch wood all goes well!!

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend also!!

Just make sure you have fully researched the answers to the questions before reading them out (if you are) - there is nothing worse for a trivia nuffy (me) than when the question is either ambiguous, misleading or the answer is wrong. Fights get started (not by me
